Small progress against advice

Fibro and depression have conflicting requirements. The only real treatment for inflamed nerves is enforced rest and heat treatment and whatever chemical pain relief options are available. Not wishing to court zombiehood--with deepest respect to all zombie readers--this leaves me with paracetamol. Right.

To the depression. Depression attacks my will to move, to act, to live a life. It makes me want to rest, do nothing, curl up somewhere warm and soft, and hide. The best response to depression of this type is to buck the trend and get up, do things, make an effort, push the envelope. Any little feeling of motivation is to be encouraged into maximum productivity.

Do you see where I'm going with this?

( Good for you, but I should warn it takes me quite a while to thrash out the implications. )
