This is probably dumb but it helped me. Before this I would sometime go 8 days between showers bc I wfh and live by myself. I just tried the whole gratitude thing. “I get to take a shower instead of I have to shower AGAIN”

Hello and thank you for your comments. It does not sound funny at all and 8 days would be good for me. I do have depression and I just can't do the things that I used to do. Cooking is huge for me and I'm really not a cook. Even brushing my teeth is an effort but I do brush of course. I really get it when you said "I get to take a shower instead of I have to shower AGAIN". I say that most days. Finally, yesterday I did take a long bath/shower and it was a bit of effort but I felt great after. This is really a personal subject so I hope it does not go all over the place. Depression really sucks and it affects me in so many ways. The less times I go outside the less I want to. Oh well, I will keep working on it and again thank you for your post, I appreciate it. : )
