Dealing with Depression: My Daily Struggle

@2birds1bush I took Cymbalta the name brand and it worked great for me for years. My body decided to reject it and I had to switch medicine. I now take Amitriptyline and Geodon for my depression and anxiety. I agree with AMWes. Start with one thing like brushing your teeth every day for a while. Then add in something else that’s small. Such as putting on clean clothes. Then add in combing your hair(or brush it). Stick to them try to push yourself to do these things even if you don’t want to. The hardest thing for me to do is shower. I am getting better about it but I had this mindset…if I don’t smell why do I have to take a shower? It leads to sickness and poor health. I see that now. I shower every other day. I am hoping to get to the point that I shower almost every day. I always feel better after a shower so that is my motivation for showering. I will pray you find something you can do!
