I think there is a period when you start to feel better, but not really that well yet, just better enough to start feeling responsible to face the mess that accummulates when you are really not functional, and it is overwhelmingly scary!!!
I think I am learning not to rush myself, not to focus so much on the "shoulds" but more on what is right for me at this moment in my life, and to go one day at a time.
I also think a lot of the real change happens after the serious depression is relieved, because that is when you can start looking at some of the patterns that don't work well. It is hard work, and it takes time. Be patient with yourself.
