> I know I'm lucky that I'm not particularly depressed at the moment. I get myself to work and function OK there, but at home I only to do the minimum. Some things I used to do as a regular routine I dont anymore, so its more of a decision to do them.

> My problems are:
> 1. How do I decide what I *have* to do? I'm particularly aware of this as this weekend I have been awake for a while in the mornings, but decided to stay in bed, gone back to sleep, and woken up at 2.45ish in the afternoon. Not sure if that *matters*... Or not washing the kitchen floor for weeks etc etc
> 2. How do I *make* myself do the things I need to? I just dont seem to have the willpower I used to. I do lots of encouraging/ bullying of myself, and imagine doing it; but often it gets me nowhere- the part of me on the 'receiving end' of this just shrugs it off.

> Anyone else's ideas v welcome!

> FiI don't have the answers for ya Fi, but hoping someone else out their does. My father is coming to town for christmas... he'll be here tuesday, and I have so much to do in prep for his visit and I just keep doing pretty much nothing. Except thinking about what needs to be done.
