MyPTSD Pro
It's been a minute since I've posted here. I recently tried to go without meds for the 2nd time and it's obvious now that my therapists were right about having to take meds for the rest of my life.
I wouldn't say I'm freaking out yet but I was wondering if anyone here that's has severe recurrent depression besides PTSD deals with depression relapses.
I've been to the doctor and I had some physical issues that could cause depression symptoms. That has been taken care of. I go back soon to get everything like my thyroid and stuff checked out.
Reading helps but my concentration is too poor right now to concentrate on books for very long. I had started a meditation practice but that's not happening at the moment either.
How do you tackle cleaning house during relapse? Do you do one thing at a time? I try to keep up with just dishes and laundry but I've fallen behind. I'm just working and sitting on the couch pretty much. I'm still showering and washing my clothes because I don't want to smell or be dirty at work but I'm struggling.
I should've taken that "Don't stop taking your meds once you feel better." advice but I didn't. I just wanted to see if I could do it because I was taught that depression is a lack of will and a sign of weakness instead of an actual illness. I don't know if I can ever unlearn that.
Any advice on how to sort of a keep a schedule?
