Yep, I know the type of day you are talking about way, way more and better then I'd EVER like to. The way I try to handle them, now, is as 'write-off' days, where I just figure them as useless trash. But, this has changed a bit over the years. I am starting to feel the loss in those days, so if I have too many in a row, then I know it is definitely time for a change somewhere in my life. Often, it is of course medications. I've been sadly apathetic with meds in the past. I'd spend five years on a combo, with a few minor changes, even if it was just barely getting me by, and not much good was coming out. Only in the last year have I changed that. I also know what you mean about even something like taking a shower. I'd often have to literally yell at myself to take one, make myself all frustrated, swear at myself....a lovely scene, you can imagine..lol. This coming from a guy who used to take TWO showers a day..morning and night....and wear all sorts of designer clothes and such. Now, it's track pants and t-shirts..lol. But, hey, tonight I fit into a nice pair of jeans! Wohoo!
1 step forward...
Best,
Jay
