I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Ann, that's a ferret.

My condolences, askye.

Does anyone have any tips or tricks for fighting depression fatigue?

Ann, that's a ferret.

I find light helps. Just getting outside, if it's a sunny (and not bitterly cold) day, or a few minutes in a tanning bed can help me. Or if you have access to a light box, but I don't find that as helpful.

I miss having an office that faced south.

There is finally some sun today. So, maybe I'll try to drag ltc out for some errands.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm sorry, askye.

I wish I had good suggestions, sj. I'm a fan of distraction and/or doing things that upset routine.

SNOW! Just a dusting that only stuck to the car and shed roof, but white stuff for sure. We'll be heading back to Florida either tomorrow or Saturday depending on how much I get done in preparations.

The problem is, I'm too tired to properly function. Feeding ltc and myself is as much as I can manage right now.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm sorry, sj. My only techniques for combating that have been powering through on sheer willpower, sleeping a whole lot, or stimulants. Can't say I really recommend any as a solution.

Yeah, I'm drinking lots of tea and powering through because ltc needs me to and also has been getting me up ridiculously early.

Sucks. Hope it gets better for before too long.

When feeding yourself is what you can manage then maybe try the breakfast for dinner or pizza for breakfast thing to shake it up. Not sure how ltc likes that kind of thing; my boys alternated between being amused and rolling their eyes.
