@JosephineO Taking down the Christmas Tree. I cannot seem to summon up the energy to do this. I had help putting it up, but not for taking it down. Also, cooking a meal. I can start it, but cannot stand long enough to serve it up!

@Sprinkles once I left my christmas tree until February...
I find I really struggle to do things that I know will make my life better and get rid of my worries-such as filling out paperwork that I need to do for work. I keep putting it off until it becomes a big problem and I have to pay a fine or something. It makes me really dislike myself...

This works. You have to practice and practice.
Also with regards to untidy no motivation etc. A tip I was told was set a timer for a manageable amount of time. I go with 15 minutes. Do 15 minutes of house work. Personal hygiene whatever the task is it helps

I'm starting to make great progress through going to therapy and he is very impressed with how I'm doing and mentally I'm finally getting back to how I used to be before people thought it was OK to muck with my head xx

The Impossible Task
Whenever people are suffering from depression the symptoms that appear are vast and varied; from insomnia to weight fluctuations. For the European Depression Day, instead of talking about the well-known symptoms of depression, we want to ask you what your ‘impossible task’ is.
The term ‘impossible task’ became known through a viral Twitter thread where everyone shared their ‘impossible task’. These tasks referred to the mundane, everyday actions that used to be easy to do but now seem impossible, such as doing the laundry, picking up your prescription or even washing a plate.
Please share with us your ‘impossible task’ and gain comfort in knowing that you aren’t alone in sometimes finding seemingly simple actions as insurmountable.
