Do not give up. I have been where you are and a doctor told me that I might feel like checking out was the easiest thing and that lots of people would be sad if that happened, but my son (daughter wasn't born yet) would never get over it. You know this is true...you know better than anyone. So I didn't and you won't--promise me. Deep breathing. In for 10, out for 10. I'm not trying to oversimplify. It works, you know it does. My secret is the right medication btw. Some people it's the right brain, goddamn them. Tammy, you are a very strong person with great gifts. Do not give up.

My secret is the right medication btw. Some people it’s the right brain, goddamn them.

I've tried to live by them. Of course, it's so much easier to know what you should do than to do it. But I'm trying. The main one I focus on is pulling on my purple skirt and putting on mascara, even if I don't plan to go anywhere. It means I'm more likely to go somewhere. I don't know why these simple things have to be struggles, or why they even have to be decisions. I hope they get easier - for you, for me, for all of us. I hope life can be joyful again. I think you can make it. Tammy, I never got round to thanking you for posting those foundations of basic care. I’ve tried to live by them.

I think it is part of the process -- of being a human being. I'm glad you didn't delete your post. I need to see that other folks struggle, too.

Yes, you can do it. You must do it. Find something to hang on to until Monday. I will be thinking of you and I am sending a big hug your way. Oh, sweetie, I so want you to feel better!
