Looking for accountability partners to motivate to get things done while depressed #3

I've only done art today and the basics. I need to clean litter boxes. That's all I plan to do. Hope everyone is doing well today!

I decided to deep clean the den so I’ve been involved in that all day aside from grocery shopping and floating in the pool. I’m going to start my Law of Attraction course tonight and do some visualization exercises.

Tomorrow, I plan to float and continue the den and maybe start deep cleaning the kitchen. I’ll also work some more on my course.

Warm wishes to all.

I hope you enjoy your course. I really love reading up on law of attraction and watching videos. I've taken one course and enjoyed that. It's been very helpful to me.

I did some more art work, cleaned litter boxes and did a few light chores. Today I plan to take a shower then relax. I'm not in the mood for any major housework. I might play some games. Hope everyone is well!

I played piano and did some doodling. I also gave my cat her medicine. That took a few attempts. Today I want to take out the trash and open packages. Then I'll relax, though I feel pretty good right now. I used some of my CBD Oil this morning. I was so stressed. It really did help.

Feeling down today but we have company coming Tuesday so I feel some pressure to get the house cleaned up. Today I will work on that and take frequent breaks where I go float and work on my LOA course.

Warm wishes to all.

Unable to do anything. I will push myself to clean litter boxes and that's it. I have zero energy today. I tried sleeping extra and that didn't help. I don't know if I need more coffee or what. Maybe my diet is lacking something. Not sure what is wrong with me. Hope all of you are doing well today.

I ordered groceries today. Got lots of vegetables. Hope that helps with my energy issues. I also cleaned litter boxes, did art and took out the trash. I need to take my insulin and then I am done for the day. I plan on sleeping and coloring in bed. I am tired. Hope everyone is well today!

Hi Deilla, it can be useful to take a vitamin and mineral tablet every day. But it can be useful to go through your meal-plan as well to see if there is some stuff you think you lack.

Here is a link to what the vitamins and minerals do to your body:

Vitamins and Minerals - HelpGuide.org

And here is a link to what kind of food that has those important vitamins and minerals. (Scroll down a bit to find the food section) :

The best foods for vitamins and minerals - Harvard Health

I am sure you know that both high and low blood glucose can make you very tired. Any kind of physical sickness or enormous stress will rise your blood glucose as well. Please contact a doctor if you find that you have too high levels of blood glucose for some days. That can mean an infection of some sort that needs to be medicated.

Of course you know that depression in itself can cause tiredness from time to time.

Hope you find out what is the matter and becomes better soon!

I am fine on vacation, tired but fine!

I try to accept that my energy level is not of the best. I had wanted to do more (like museums of different kinds, may be a concert or two), but since I have to rest more than usual I keep it low, walk around and taste different foods, take a taxi if there is something extra I want to see and relax or read in a beautiful park near the hotel. In that way I experience "things" and at the same time have the opportunity to get back to the hotel for a rest if needed!

I have parked the mindfulness training for the vacation, but still try to be in the here and now and to enjoy the moments the way they are.

Good wishes to all!

Thanks @Singer47 for the links. I'm very interested in what I can do to boost my energy levels. This morning started off well but then I wore out soon Took a couple of naps and this afternoon I am done for. I still have more work to do. And I've been busy all day with art (I'm selling images now) and housework. I will try a break for a while then get back at it. Hope everyone is doing well today!

Hi again, when one lacks vitamins it can take a while to get the level back to normal. Two years ago my GP found a lack in one of the B-vitamins. It took more than three months to get it up to a normal level and then to get off the vitamin pill. It is always a good idea to eat healthy, but sometimes the best is to let the GP measure the vitamins in the body and make a prescription to put on a quicker rise if that is necessary.

All the best!

Have more energy today. I slept well for a change. So far I have cleaned litter boxes, done a load of laundry, washed dishes, worked on art and cleaned up some in my kitchen. Later I hope to play piano and open packages. That should be enough for one day. Hope everyone is well!

Deilla · Jul 24, 2019 at 04:04 PM

Finally got a shower. Yay me! I am tired now. I think I will rest. I didn't get to open packages or play piano. Just no more energy. I'll save that for tomorrow. Sometimes I wish I had help. I have medication to get next.

Sunflower123 · Jul 24, 2019 at 07:14 PM

Have been feeling productive and motivated lately. I just had to break the inertia. Cleaned and streamlined the litter boxes down to one, grocery shopped, finished the den and kitchen, enjoyed beautiful, cloudless sky, sunny weather to float and enjoyed a movie with friends last night...The Lion King.

Tonight, I’m going to continue my LOA course which I am thoroughly enjoying and practice my visualization techniques. I still need to take the trash to the curb also.

Tomorrow, I will start on the dining room and baths, go to therapy and enjoy floating on another beautiful day.

Warm wishes to all.

Deilla · Jul 25, 2019 at 07:21 AM

I've worked on my art today. No chores. I want to take the day off except for art. I'm just relaxing and doing the basics. Wishing everyone well!

Deilla · Jul 26, 2019 at 03:15 AM

Yesterday was a very hard day emotionally. It wore me down. Today I want to recover and be nice to myself. The only work I will do is clean litter boxes. I'll work on my art too and try to be positive about it. I had a big rejection on my artwork as well yesterday. That made everything worse. Today will be a day of gratitude and kindness. Hope you all are doing well!

I’m sorry you had a tough day yesterday. I hope today is better.

I am satisfied with my vacation. The weather was good. Good food (almost too good), nice hotel, beautiful surroundings. Much to see in the town I stayed. I missed the concerts (but, so it is when one's health is not the best. One has to choose). I was able to visit one museum (happy for the ability to do that). I took my daily walk in the park.

So I am home again. I am tired after the travel (ca 10 hours). It is very hot here. Hot weather often gives me depression. One of my family-members has become sick. I have not decided if I am to visit today or to morrow. I need to visit the grocery store today. It is too hot to take my daily walk, so except the trip to the grocery shop and perhaps the visit to the sick one, I will stay inside with the curtains down (to keep the heat out). I will try to unpack ...

I had planned to have one week of vacation in my hometown after homecoming, but that has to wait until the worst heat has gone.

May you all be well and hopefully enjoy your weekend!

Deilla · Jul 27, 2019 at 12:03 PM

I am sick and depressed today. I forgot my meds last night. I'm sure that didn't help. I cleaned litter boxes this morning then went back to bed. I think I will sleep for the rest of the day. If I don't sleep, I may read.
