When I cannot get myself to get out of the house, I end up setting my alarm clock early and just MAKING myself get into the shower and then LEAVE THE HOUSE. I may not know where I am going or what I'm going to do, but I'm out. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I'm not bi-polar so not sure if that will even help. Instead, I am what they would call "disthymic." If I keep busy then for the most part I am okay. I am scheduled for my C-Section tomorrow and know that the postpartum crap will follow shortly.

I say, get on meetup.com, and find some people with similar interests as you, and go with Brian and meet them in person. It may sound weird, but perhaps what you need is some interactiveness with others like yourself, so you won't feel like you aren't "normal". Personally, and professionally (eventually professionally), I do not believe in being "normal" :???:. You are who YOU are, and you know what? I like you just the way you are Barb, and I am CERTAIN that there are others who would just love to meet you in person. :mrgreen: I don’t think that any certain chore or activity by yourself will do the trick.

It is so hard to get out. I just always thought I was a "home body," but maybe it is my depression. I wish I lived near you. I would force both of us to go out and do something fun.

We spent half the time talking about him, but it was productive nontheless. I'm glad to hear you were able to go. Well, as part of our plea bargain deal, I did see my T-doc today.
