[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 12617, member: 2211"] {{Linda}} It's so hard to get back into the swing of things after so many unsettling events. Although I'm sure others may come up with some better ways of getting back on track - I've always relied on a list or several lists. Starting small, for instance, with simple everyday household tasks. Gradually adding a couple of things every few days, perhaps eliminating others until you find what works for you. A while back when I was going through a period of depression, I made a generic list for the usual daily tasks and posted them on the cabinet in the kitchen. I always tried to put down at least one positive affirmation at the bottom of the list - something inspirational, even if it was a simple, "you can do this!". In the bathroom, I even made a list of personal hygeine - now I know that sounds stupid, but I truly had a hard time moving from getting out of bed to brushing my teeth and it helped to force myself to wash up and put on some makeup. I found that if I felt better about my presentation, I felt better over all. Eventually I found my way back to normal, for me. I know it seems too simplistic, but I am a habitual list maker, they work for me. Gentle Hugs - I hope you find you way back. [/QUOTE]
