> JanHi Jan,
You're not alone. Getting motivated can be so hard when you're depressed. When I used to work a 9-5 job, I went to work, even when it was hell getting out of bed. I needed the money so I had to. Once I was there, my mood usually improved a little or even turned into a good one.
Now, as a sah mom, I'm not technically getting paid. I'm ashamed to say that the kids and house (the biggest part of my job) get somewhat neglected when I'm depressed, especially when I'm really feeling isolated. They're not going anywhere so unless I was just to drive off and leave them I have no choice but to feed, clean and clothe them even when I can barely take care of myself. I love them, and tell them often. But they have to wonder what's up when I cry for hours. I try to make it up to them when I'm not depressed, but I shudder to think.....
