Sometimes just doing that one little thing gets the ball rolling...and then you share your story with your BP.net friends and inspire us.

Believe me, I know how tough depression and anxiety can be, I've dealt with it personally for about 20 years, and I've watched my mother suffer from anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and agoraphobia for even longer. I'm proud of you and your courage to share your story, it made a great day even better (my nephew was born last night and I just got home from visiting and meeting him at the hospital. My brother, sister-in-law and baby are all doing well).

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for this inspirational thread :D

i accomplished my list of to-dos for the day! i haven't done any sort of chore in these past two months and i feel almost normal. it's taken me almost 3 days to gather and do my laundry but i took more baby steps today, and my laundry is done!!!

i know what you mean: just existing when your mind is in that state is so exhausting. it takes everything i have to get out of bed sometimes.

i glad things are much better for you! gives me some hope. [emoji4]

I Know what you mean i once had a sink full of dirty dishes for 3 months it smelled like something died and i had to throw all my plastic stuff away tupperware spatulas etc cuz I couldnt get rid of the smell i'm glad laundry is one of the things you did believe it or not having clean clothes is one of the best steps it's like aroma therapy that you wear!! Clean laundry makes me feel like a brand new b**tch :) Btw if you ever wanna talk just message me idc what it's about just message me. :)
