How To Do Your Chores When You're "Depression Tired"

Do you ever feel so "depression tired" that it's a struggle to do your chores?

Every single day at The Depression Project, we hear from people who, when they’re feeling “depression tired”, find it extremely, extremely difficult to do their chores – such as, for example:

  • Cleaning their house / apartment;
  • Washing the dishes;
  • Doing their laundry;
  • Taking the trash out;
  • Changing the bedsheets;
  • Mowing the lawn;
  • Watering the plants.

And, because struggling to do your chores when you're feeling "depression tired" is so, so common, we created this cognitive behavioural therapy-based journal, in order to:

  • Share with you a variety of strategies to make it easier and less overwhelming for you to do your chores when you feel “depression tired”;
  • Help you let go of any shame you feel on the occasions when you don’t manage to do your chores.

Here’s A Breakdown Of Exactly What This Journal Will Cover

  • PART 1: The Benefits Of Doing Your Chores When You Feel “Depression Tired” (In Addition To The “Obvious” Reasons For Doing Them) - When it comes to doing your chores, there are of course many “obvious” benefits of doing them (for example, washing the dishes means you have clean bowls, plates and cutlery to eat with). However, when you’re feeling “depression tired”, there are also several additional benefits of doing your chores as well. And, like we’ll talk about in this part of the journal, it can be very useful to be mindful of these benefits – since doing so can help you overcome the lack of motivation that can hold you back from doing your chores when you feel “depression tired”.
  • PART 2: How “All-Or-Nothing Thinking” Can Hold You Back From Doing Your Chores When You Feel “Depression Tired” - “All-or-nothing” thinking is a common type of cognitive distortion in cognitive behavioural therapy, and in the second part of this journal, we’ll explain how it can hold you back from doing your chores when you feel “depression tired”, as well as the steps you can take to break out of this thinking pattern and therefore find it significantly easier to progress with your chores.
  • PART 3: Suggestions From The Depression Project’s Community That Can Help You Do Your Chores When You Feel “Depression Tired” - In the next part of this journal, we’ll share with you several suggestions from members of The Depression Project’s community that, in addition to what we cover in Parts 1 and 2, can help you do your chores when you feel “depression tired” - including, for example, the importance of getting your day off to a positive start, having a “reward system” in place to help boost your motivation to do your chores when you feel “depression tired”, some ways in which you can make your chores more enjoyable (which can also boost your motivation to do them), and more.
  • PART 4: Strategies To Stop Shaming Yourself On The Occasions When You Don’t Do Your Chores Because You Feel “Depression Tired” - Everything that we cover in Parts 1-3 of this journal will make it significantly easier for you to do your chores when you’re “depression tired” - however, there may still be occasions when you feel too exhausted to be able to do them. When this is the case, then it’s common for people to shame and criticise themselves, and consequently, to feel even more depressed than they already felt. So, to help prevent your depression from worsening like so, in Part 4 of this journal, we’ll share with you a variety of strategies to help you be more compassionate, gentle and understanding towards yourself any time you’re too “depression tired” to do your chores.

Additionally, to accompany each part of this journal, we'll share a wide variety of guided journal prompts for you to think about and write out your response to - each of which are designed to help you implement the strategies that we'll share with you as effectively as possible.
