    Right on the nose with the insurmountable task.

    The thing is, is that if somehow you get the energy to get out the door, whatever you have planned is (nearly) always a good time. It’s just so hard to remember that when depression takes hold.

      This has been my experience as well. I feel this every time I have something social planned, and even moreso when depressed.

      I can be totally aware of what I need to do to feel better, and still get hung up on that first damn step. The psychological struggle is real.

      I find even taking a step out the door to walk around the block can help improve my mood.

      Speaking of which I think I will go do that right now! I could use it :)
