do-nothingism
i have a bad case of it. it showed up with the depression and the anxiety way back in my teens. i thought that as the depression got better i would just automatically want to do more stuff. that is not the case. it’s like i never knew how to do stuff in the first place. it’s silly and frustrating and i have to constantly remind myself that there is a technique to getting through this, just like the depression and the anxiety and i will figure it out, eventually. this is one of those times when i wish i was more optimistic or was better at having faith.

Smaller goals?
I’m going back to that storage room and sorting through ONE shelf.
I hope……

I was on an anti depressent for awhile and I thought it would make me want to clean more (and not lay around doing nothing on the weekends.) Well, I didn’t clean more, but I did stop worrying about the dirty apartment.
I think the difference between being depressed and not being depressed is not what you do but how you think about what you do.
If you are doing nothing, perhaps that is okay. Perhaps you have done enough and you deserve to do nothing without feeling guilty. (?) just a thought.
