This life stuff is hard! I've been have a tough time recently and I know I'm not alone.

Thanks, Jenn. Going through anhedonia just now - it's like i try so hard to deal with how i'm feeling when life throws a curve ball at me, hokding so tight on keeping things together during times i can't let go, like when we have visitors for example, that i then crash & find no enjoyment in the things i normally do, & have no energy to do them anyway. I'm hoping if i rest enough things will start to improve & get better. Thanks for sharing your helpful tips - i'm asking myself those questions & coming up with the answers that i need to give myself time to rest, but i know there's a fine line between resting, whallowing, & being sensible & taking myself in hand, & knowing when & how to do this. How do i know if i'm being just plain lazy?! It's hard to discern the difference.

Belle, I want to respond to this more in depth because I hear you and it is SO hard when you’re in that place, but I’m behind in packing for a trip and feeling a little harried. I do want to say, though, that you are not lazy. I’m not even convinced lazy is a real thing. You need what you need!
