I hope you were able to get some of your tackles tackled, . Sometimes looking at each thing as a small task all by itself can help, that way you don’t get overwhelmed. I hope you are feeling better this week.
Have a blessed day,
Kathy C.

I know how you feel. I have been there. Thankfully it’s not as bad as it used to be.

I feel so sad for you when I read about your depression, as I have a similar problem. But I’m proud of you for pushing through and accomplishing so much!

Ya know, Carolyn, I’m proud of you for not giving up. The fact that you’re still trying to move forward speaks volumes to me about your heart, and I’m rooting for you to get everything done and find your way out of the depression!

hi!! i’m not doing a tackle it today but your post broke my heart! i went through a long bout of post partum and it was really really rough. i have since come out of it but one thing i want to tell you is that while you’re going through your depression (and everyone’s is different i know) but sweetheart, ditch the list! you’re putting too much pressure on yourself while it’s tough just to get through the day! i think you should do what you feel like doing, but try to do something that will make you happy, even if it’s something simple like take a really long bath. maybe instead of a long list, just pick one thing a day and make it a “goal” instead of a “chore”. and if you don’t get to it, so what?? forgive yourself! It’s ok! To me, getting through a depression means just getting through the day, as easily as you can do it. i will be thinking about you.

I battle depression too and it’s been kinda bad lately. I know my housework is always the first thing that goes. And then I feel guilty because I’m a single mom and there’s nobody to pick up the slack when I’m not up to it. But I figure God knows and He does give me the grace to do what I need to do, which really is FAR less than what I think I need to do. And today, I felt up to getting my house straightened up and I do feel good about that.

Keep plugging away and thanks for being so open about your depression. It’s encouraging me to be more open about it too.

I agree with Donetta (above). I, too have struggled with depression. About 7 years ago, I finally saw a dr. about it. Remember, it’s fun to post about what we are doing, but sometimes its not about doing–it’s about becoming or being. Don’t compare yourself to others either. You are at a unique place in your life–a hard one! Has God given you grace for today? Just one day at a time.

I am guilty of making list & then feeling overwhelmed by them also. I am having to learn that when my children are home, it is ok if I don’t complete my whole list.
