I'm a big reader and depression kills my concentration so that I can't read. I haven't picked up a knitting needle or a pencil crayon or anything like that in months, nor have I been to the gym, not since January. And people tell me, "do x and y" and you'll feel better, and they don't seem to understand that it takes more energy than I have to do those things. I'm glad that you understand. It makes me feel less like a failure, and boy, do I feel like a failure most days.
