How are you doing, @enska? Do you have a friend or family member who could help clear out some clutter with you? I at one time had our upper story of our previous home (it was small - hall, closet, one bedroom) filled with stuff I'd stashed on one side of the hallway (various decorative objects, storage bins, etc.). It got overwhelming to me, and finally my mom offered to help me out. That really helped get it back to not-so-cluttered to have someone's help motivating me and more than just my hands doing the organizing work.

I forgot to reply back and I don't get emails from Connect. Sorry!

My therapist session went okay but I didn't really come away with much. I'm going to talk to my psychiatrist on Monday. I'm also going to consider applying for disability benefits since I'm not working and I do not feel in any way ready to get a job. I'm going to see what the doctor says on Monday before I plan anything else.

By chance I came upon the term "anhedonia" and read a little about it. I believe that's the symptom I'm experiencing. Unfortunately it's only gotten worse in the past couple weeks. I'm just frustrated because of the amount of meds I take...I wonder, shouldn't at least one of them do something? I guess they do keep my mood fine. Oh well. That's my update.
