Unfortunately when I get depressed I lose that drive to push forward, get nothing done, and then just get more depressed that I got nothing done.
Yeah, I have that happen too, though it's a situational thing; I imagine for someone with chronic depression it's harder to bust out of the rut. I think for me it sometimes turns into a case of "freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose"; I've packed up a former life and abandoned it except for the friends I'd made there two and a half times now, so saying "right, just going to ignore everything that's gone before and start over" is starting to become a habit.
