I see that some of you have support systems and some don't. I have my cousin who lives about 3 hours away and has her hands full with caring for a disabled husband, a mother with Alzheimer's, working tax season and whenever they call her in and being expected to cater all funerals at her church with no help. So I try not to say much to her when I'm struggling. The only other person in my life is my neighbor. She brings me dinner every night and goes to the store for me. I really appreciate all she does but one time she called me lazy and made derogatory comments a couple of other times. It's not just the depression that limits me. I have to use a wheelchair and that slows me down. I also have a problem forcing myself out the door so extending my support system is difficult. How do you all get motivated to get out and socialize?
