Re: Depression and motivation

(Anonymous) 2023-08-03 02:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I might be somewhere on the autism spectrum. Also I definitely have depression. Anyway, what I do is make mindless routines. I get up, go to the bathroom, brush teeth, take meds, change, grab socks and put them in my pocket, kiss the husbeast while he sleeps, go to kitchen, put on socks and shoes, pack lunch, pour cereal, eat, fill waterbottle, get in car, drive same route, get to office, take a short walk, sign in, check email.

My brain is engaged while driving but everything else is basically reflex. I'd be more depressed if I stopped doing this stuff because then I wouldn't do anything at all.

Also, anti depressants changed my fucking life. Before I got on them every little thing made me want to quit.

How did I make this routine while in the absolute depths? Idk. I guess I just followed the path of least resistance to get from bed to the office.

The hard part was making myself do things I enjoy. Eating good food and not just boxed mac and cheese, reading, practicing hobbies, talking to people. I'd kind of build one on top of the other. I have to text my college buddy. But I have to have something interesting to say otherwise I'm just bothering him. So I have to read a book and learn something. And so on. It didn't work *well* but I'm still here and still trying.
