That's all good if you have the blues. When I was clinically depressed just putting on my shoes was too much effort. Chewing and swallowing food was exhausting.

That's all good if you have the blues. When I was clinically depressed just putting on my shoes was too much effort. Chewing and swallowing food was exhausting. There wasn't really a cure except to wait until I was ready to start climbing out of the hole I was in. Once you have at least a rudimentary capacity to self-actualize, the rest is gravy. Use the Wim Hof method, become a whirling dervish, it doesn't matter so long as you're reinforcing that you have the ability to do anything at all.
- benevol 10y ago> just putting on my shoes was too much effort It such cases, you clearly need one of the chemical kickstarters mentioned above, but, if you can, avoid those that "require" you to depend on them long-term. If you wait too long, you risk reinforcing your "depressive neurological pathways", thought patterns, etc. and it may become much harder to reverse the spiral.
