Is there anything more difficult than getting things done when you're depressed? It's as though the mind and body turn off and all you want to do is lie on the couch and cry. This leads to guilt, sadness, and frustration. Because we live in a culture that rewards (and often worships) productivity, when a depressed person can't meet society's expectations, the depression becomes worse and a vicious cycle begins. The goal of Getting Things Done When You're Depressed is to break this cycle. This highly practical book offers "been there, done that" inspirational advice, stories from the trenches that show how others overcame the inertia of depression, medical help understanding how depression affects the ability to do certain tasks, and exercises that help strengthen the coping skills needed.
