> I didn't mean to invoke guilt, I hate that feeling as a motivator. I merely suggested from experience that you can't give in to depression, you have to fight it no matter how dark the veil. While your pdoc helps with the chemistry, you have to keep taking little steps and patting yourself on the back for every painful stride towards recovery. I think you are lucky to have George to accompany you.
YOU did NOT invoke guilt. I was merely stating what is my routine feeling. I am grateful for your advice. If I continue to feel guilty it is only because that is something I need to work on. Perhaps that is a good reason to find a therapist. I have not seen a therapist in six years. I think it might be a good time to start working on some of these issues.
I have just begun to feel a little better so I am able to think and sometimes act on things like walking the dogs. Feeling better is absolutely not a constant so I need to make that push when I can but recognise that I am not always able to do it yet and not beat myself up about it when I cannot make myself walk the dogs. If I just do once in a while it is a 100% improvement!
Thanks and keep on walkin,
irene
