Cup o' Joe and Tea Too

Most days when i go to bed I try to think of at least positive things that I have done that day. It could be anything such as making a phone call to someone that I haven't spoken to for ages ,putting some thing that I don't need anymore on e-bay. Even clearing out a drawer or box counts as a plus. Cooking something that I haven't tried before is a big bonus.
It's all a bit sad really when you think that you need to do something to make your day worth while but it works for me.
 
Well what would work for me is I discovered I love Native American flute music. There is even a 10 minute one to fall asleep to. But it takes me more than 10 minutes. If it could run on a continuous loop - it would be great.

There are many Native American flute songs on the various music threads and also on u-tube if you look for them. Some are much more soothing than others.

That makes me very tired, so I don't want to cook, but it doesn't put me to sleep because that is more of a mental thing.

I'm just like that. I get very happy after a good productive day of work and borderline depressed when I don't do much of anything.
I should sleep well today after shoveling out Dad's house and finishing mine this morning. I wish I'd just finished it last night because the snow froze to the slush underneath and the shovel kept binding up.

I do think I'm a bit depressed right now because of all this rain! Every time I try to do something outside it starts raining again. But, my sleep evades me no matter what I do.

I have to achieve tangible results. Mental accomplishments just don't get me there. I like to look over my shoulder and say, "Look at what I've done." For me if it is physical (I can see, hear, feel, taste it) it's real. If it's mental or emotional I question the reality. :idunno

Either one works for me as far as my outlook. Accomplishment is good. There's never any end to things I can do, but let's face it, indoor chores are not as physically invigorating and taxing as outdoor.

Well that's how it is for me. I have been a night owl since I was a kid, don't think that's going to change now. So, at least I'm retired. I could take a nap if I wanted to, I just don't do it. Once I'm up, I'm up for the day. :D

It is soothing. We bought a CD of it at a flea market once.

I think my depression has become crippling again, LOL. Having things be neater without trash around would lead to me feeling better, yet due to that drain of energy, I find it difficult to clean up.

That's a vicious cycle. I had a friend who had traumatic brain injury. Before she had the accident that caused it, she was an architect, with an immaculate house. After, she had to quit her job and her house was a mess. I felt so sorry for her. She would be depressed about how messy it was, but like you say, to depressed to clean it. So sorry. I know how hard that is! :hugs

I'm so glad I haven't fallen into that. But, I'm not really depressed in the conventional sense. My "depression" comes from grief, so it's not the same thing.
 
Several years ago, I developed a bad habit of hitting my head pretty hard against things, like walls, when upset. I wonder if that may have caused me to experience any cognitive decline. I think I also have had depression from grief recently, I had a falling out with and lost someone who I was pretty close to a week or two ago. I cried a lot, but it isn't as bad now as it initially was.

I am with you there! My bedroom looks like a tornado went through.
