Set a timer and do things in little baby steps. You don't have to do the whole job, just a few minutes and then take a break. This will help you to get moving.

If you are having a hard time going out, invite your friends over. You could play board games or watch a movie together.

If you aren't in counseling, please look into it for additional help. A good local church will also help lift your spirits.

God bless!

talk to me dogmicjoe@yahoo.com. also walk and pray.
depression is self-perpetuating. Force yourself to do the things that seem like the last thing you want to do. Invite friends over, which forces you out of your depressing closed world, forces you to get cleaned and dolled up, forces you to clean up the house. Getting yourself out of the cycle is the hard part, you just have to force yourself, the next thing you know you will be smiling with a friend, and feeling better about life. Even if it's only fleeting the first couple of times, you will find it a little easier to do the next time, break the routine... good luck
it's always easier to get motivated when there is someone helping you in the task. I know that if I have to clean alone, I usually won't do it and then get even more depressed as i see the mess getting bigger. However, if I get someone to help me, it gets me going (especially with music).
