@Sam3 Hello lovely. It’s really good to see you on the chat tonight. I’m sorry you are feeling depressed and experiencing avoidance. I’m going through the same thing. I don’t really know how to turn it around.
What I’ve been doing is trying not to feel guilty about not being able to do the things. Stuff I’ve heard works for other people is breaking down the task into smaller bits like maybe you could help your family make dinner. Or just put the dishes in sink after they make dinner?

@rav3n it's actually not bad and i think I'll enjoy them occasionally. I can't stand the strong taste of coffee and it doesn't have that. I'd recommend trying it anyway 😊

It’s crazy how hard it can be with a dark mood @Meowmy isn’t it?
After an entire day in bed, I’m now unpacking the dishwasher. Have you got access to music or something that might help?

@Sam3 Yay! 🥳 I know it takes a huge effort to get out of bed and into the kitchen. It’s not as easy as it may sound. Well done my friend. I’m literally standing in my kitchen too trying to coax myself into making something to eat even if it’s just simple. Gonna try wash a pot first and see if I can decide on what to actually make lol!
what are you going to cook?
