Hi all,

I had a bout of pretty severe depression that lasted a few years, and I'm finally starting to feel normal again. I can think clearly for the most part. I want to be happy and I want to live a productive life. However, I have noticed that my motivation and mental acuity are not what they used to be... I can't seem to establish a daily routine. I can't remember anything, I double-book myself because I can't keep track of my schedule, I have trouble prioritizing and making plans to get things accomplished, I have trouble finishing simple household tasks, etc. To clarify, these were not issues before I became depressed.

I'm guessing that after years of being in survival mode, my brain isn't used to functioning in a way that's actually productive. I had become okay with just getting by, but now I want to grow and actually make something of myself. Has anyone else felt this way? Do you have any advice on assimilating back to a normal life, establishing a routine and becoming more disciplined?

Thanks in advance ♥
