RE: Weekend Working
So making schedules, deadlines, and having accountability all factored into pulling you out of the depression and anxiety? I guess having nothing to do is not the dreamland everyone may think it is. Thanks for sharing your point of view on this!
I wouldn't say they pulled me out, but more just....made things easier. The depression/anxiety combo is a really bad one because the anxiety screams at me to do stuff but the depression makes that really difficult because what's the point? Deadlines and accountability take advantage of my anxiety to override the depression, and then when I'm done the anxiety fades and I'm left feeling at least better than I was before. Better than sitting around doing nothing and having nothing to look forward to, at least.
