Hey Guys It’s Jillian

[silliesalamander]

So my problem is that my therapist keeps telling me things to do but Im too depressed to do them (or have such a lack of motivation) then she gets frustrated with me. Does anyone else have this problem?

What are you depressed about?

What are you supposed to do?

Maybe you just need a little more convincing that what she wants you to do will help you. Possibly.

Oh I see. You're so depressed you can't elaborate either. Wow. Well good luck!

Sounds like if she is your therapist.. maybe she should understand UR DEPRESSED, duh. Hey.. I think everyone has been down the same road ur on.I know I have. Did she forget that ur not there to swap recipes.Listen...all I can say is.. I get where ur at..maybe give this a whirl..if she gives ya a bunch of things to do..pick the hardest one first.do it.. the rest will feel like a piece of cake and u will be thrilled with yourself.If u cant do that..thats ok too. Just go at UR pace and try to make her understand u cant be rushed, otherwise the results wont be AS beneficial.

I understand - the lack of motivation for even getting out of bed can feel like a lead blanket - try to take things hour by hour if that is all you can do. Just try something.

I have and I'm much better!

What things has she suggested? Maybe she is not making the right suggestions or ways to get motivated. Have you considered another therapist?

[silliesalamander in reply to froggymom88]

I was just in denial. I'm much better now.
