Needing motivation!

Now that I have pretty much come out the other side after have PND, I feel like I have arrived back from being on holiday from my life.
I have let loads of good friendships slide which is one thing that really bothers me, but I dont know how to fix it really. I have started to sort out other parts of my life a bit,...went on a date with dh last night, finally did out 2006-2007 tax return, rang up to see if I can re-apply for my nursing registration so I can maybe get a job,...
So, does anyone have any pointers on how I can start to feel on top of things again? I feel overwhelemd by all the things I think I should do,..a major spring clean, sell things on TM, decorate Isla's room etc etc ,...so put of starting anything, or only get things half done

Just choose 1 thing at a time to complete and start with the easy things. Once you get started on your mental list of things to do it will become less daunting once you get some out of the way

 yay, you!!  No advice from me here but just wanted to say you go, girl

Yay for coming out the other side, what a great feeling that must be for you! You rock!

I like Glow and Pearls list/timeframe ideas.

So how should I start t re-build the friendships? These are mostly people that I dont live anywhere near..including my best friend. She emailed me a while back and tho I did reply,..I wasnt up to dealing with all the emotional stuff,..so didnt sort it out like I should have.

I agree with the lists idea. You could have two, one with small tasks that are easy to complete and done when you only have a short time to get something done and a list of bigger jobs. You could also put at the top of the list "make a list" so that once the list is done you can mark off your first task, may make you feel like you are getting somewhere.

Regarding the friendships I suppose you need to decide which ones you want to save. Also how honest do you want to be? For some people it may just need a good heart to heart phone call, others it may be best to send a letter explaining what has been going on, why and where you want to go from here - I always think a letter is more personal than an email. Although I don't really know what has gone on (or not) between you and your friends I would hope that if they truely were good friends they would understand what you have been through and help you rebuild the relationship.

I would just be honest with them. If they are the kind of friends you want then they will totally understand.

glad you are getting back on track kellz   

i can't help with motivation....i don't have any myself! charli's cot has been sitting in the lounge for the last week waiting for me to put it on TM, not to mention the 2bxs of clothes that are also sitting there wanting to be on TM.....

my one and only thing would be....if you start something on the list, don't start a new thing before you've finished the first one! i'm such a shocker for that! hence why the kids rooms are only half decorated

once you know which friends you'd like to keep in touch with, i'd flick them an email each, perhaps include a few recent pics of isla and let them know what she's up too and how she's doing.   you don't need to go into too much detail if you don't want too about what you've been going through, but if they are true friends, then they will be completely understanding.

well done hun
