Jerry,
I totally agree. It's so hard for me to get into the weekends now. I've had many weekends where I slept, watched TV, slept some more, and never left my house. I understand where you're coming from. I like the exercise suggestions and planning your weekends. That way, it's not a let down as much when the weekend arrives. You have a purpose.
Best of luck. I hope we both can overcome this.

> Weekends always slow me down. I'm all excited when Friday night rolls around - I usually "reward" myself for getting through the work week with DVD's and a Pizza. Then I stay up late and when the morning comes I can't bare to go out or do anything. I just want to sleep and escape the world. It doesn't help that the only two friends I used to hang out with stopped calling me because of my depression. So I think "Why clean my apt. or do dishes? For what? For whom?"
