dear Ana, being stuck in this ball of depression can inhibit any desire to want to do anything at all, that's the illness forcing you to feel this way, because it's so intense, so controlling and so dominating to what ever intention we may have, but with depression that's not much at all, unfortunately.
But to try and break the cycle that it puts us in is to do just small things to begin with, nothing that will exhaust us to the point that we never want to do it again, we don't have to do it everyday, but it can be done on the spur of the moment, and that's the best time, because if you have your week planned as to what to do, then you may decide at the time that you couldn't care about doing it.
If you have dogs take them for a walk around the block, throw the ball and see the excitement that the dog has in their eyes, waiting for you to throw it.
It's only something small to do, and we all know that sleeping is certainly what we really want to do, but try and break this habit that engulfs your day.
It won't be easy to begin with, but when you are in bed your mind will be racing around and thinking about everything, then try and think about throwing the ball, if you don't have dogs then go down to the park and watch those youngters praticing their football training, but you have to break that cycle.
Please come back to us and let us know how you're going. Geoff.
