Does anyone have any advice ? After a bad year , health , work and relationship wise , I was diagnosed with depression . I work in this field so am confused that I can't seem to motivate myself .
I am on medication , feel lots better and back at work .
I have always loved meditation , music , calm and tried to make my home as relaxing as possible . However , recently I find it impossible to do anything relaxing for myself . I look after my home and pets , pay bills etc. I have a nice bathroom , soft towels , bath oils , candles . As soon as I run a bath I feel stressed as if I should be doing something else . My nice handcream and body lotion are unused . It must be depression I think but in other areas I'm fine. I enjoy meals , time with friends , films , sewing and reading . I would love to be able to come home after a hectic day and relax in a lovely bath but I feel that it is time wasted .I don't sleep well and would like to get into a routine. Any advice .

There's nothing more important than looking after yourself!.....and its never time wasted.
You deserve it and it's good for you. Never, ever feel bad about it.
