Daddy's Little Girl - Fourth Edition

I’m doing my best, but life seems to have decided I can take this beating…. So it’s into my shell I go and just hang on til the storm passes.
I had this talk with my oldest son today when he asked if I was going to move in with my parents. They'd drive me insane, as much as I love them. I need the quiet and coming away...and it's never quiet there.

I think thats going to be how I get out of this at some point. If I can just get my tank filled up again I can fight the depression. Right now they ar ejust creating a cycle though...

We call this "all out of spoons" - right @Strixaluco? Did I use the correct terminology?

Can you get away for a quick walk? Go hammer some nails? What helps you?
 
My normal recuperation technique is to stay up late after everyone goes to bed and find something to do. I'm considering trying that tonight even though I am very tired.

Thinking back, most of my depression episodes have been autistic burnouts really. Which is why they definitely don't go away without lots of rest. Well, need some time with my interests, too, as those recharge the mind. (I think adhd burnout exists, too.)
 
Burnout is a good description @Strixaluco. Today is a bit better than yesterday though. Hopefully that trend continues.
It can ebb and flow, and take quite a lot of time. I hope you can take time for some low-effort interests to get something positive for your mind!
