Hi. I have been dealing with depression (dysthymia?) for as long as I can remember. During the worst times, I feel compelled to NOT do the things that would seem to make the most sense--like exercising, eating well... Going to therapy and taking meds (just started) feels okay--even good. But making other commitments feels impossible. Has anyone had any luck with treating themselves with kindness when faced with low motivation? I feel stuck in an angry-at-self cycle...
