I am seriously depressed....I can't make myself leave the house.

The biggest thing is to keep hydrated, that cannot be stressed enough.

"Cold" movies is also a good idea.

Is there a pool anywhere near that you can use?

ICE CREAM !!!!!!

This is Phoenix in the summer. Ice cream is not dessert, it's a survival mechanism.

But I'm a cook, so I will confess to being more than a little biased. Maybe make your own?? The process can be a distraction with a reward at the end, so it may help from "both" sides, psychological as well as physical.

If making ice cream is too much for you (process or quantity), a sorbet or a variation of Italian Ice could be an option. Possibly just put some frozen fruit in a blender with some ice cubes and maybe milk (of your choice).


Don't surrender. Fight back. Maybe a little research for some recipes and ideas can be enough of a 'break' to get started. If you're not doing classes, do some self-care.

When I get too wrapped up in my problems, getting into a project can help. Do you have anything that's just hanging around that needs to be done? Maybe just some planning and 'thinking about it' can help.

Best of luck, just know you're not alone. We're here for you.

Peace
