@nscappa As one who suffers from depression and medication resistant can relate. Any additional stressors like limited finances, isolation and loss contributes to depressive state to the point of not getting out of bed, low to no energy, etc. You’ve gone through a series of losses and probably going through grief as well as depression. Maybe today you can’t wash dishes but tomorrow you can wash a dish or take a shower. It’s a very slow process. Please remember to be kind to yourself.

Thanks so much for your comments. You are very compassionate, and I really appreciate that. When I do attack the dishes I am so happy that everything looks good again. I just have to push so much some days. I am overdue for a shower (I sponge bathe in between so I never offend anyone, never). Today is the day! I can't believe I am even talking about this, but this is a safe place where other people have some of the same issues, so I have no problem talking about it. I will persevere! : )
