Kara,
I understand the kind of depression you are talking about. It is really hard. It is hard to clean my house. It is hard to shower.
I What can I offer for advice? My alters (I have DID, or Multiple personality disorder) have been teaching me some things. One is to draw, draw what I see in my head, what I feel, etc. It helps alot.... I can look at what was drawn, and learn things from them.
I am also learning to play. We bought some tinker toys, some chalk, and found a piece of slate at an antique store. We need to play, we need to go to the park and swing.
I don't know if play would help you, but I don't think it can hurt. Get an ice cream cone, go to the park, get some coloring books. I don't know what might help you, but if you can find some things that work with your emotions, rather than your intellect, maybe it will help.
I'm by no means healthy, but it seems that when I can bypass my intellect, it is easier to get the fun in. I guess that I think that fun in = more good energy.
I hope I helped a little,
Dee.
