Everything is just awful. It’s a struggle to walk to the bathroom. Making dinner seems more impossible than advanced calculus. Getting out of bed is a vague, distant dream that seems like it may never come true. Meanwhile, the mess gets worse and worse. It seems impossible that you’re contributing to this, since that would require some sort of energy on your part. But the mess is getting worse, and not only can you not figure out how that’s happening, you sure as hell can’t figure out how to try to make it better, because of that whole “no energy to spare to even think about it” problem. If you do feel like expending any energy toward doing anything at all, you’re more likely to try to feed yourself or, by some miracle, take a shower rather than doing the dishes.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Rachel Hoffman" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/rachel-hoffman/when-you-re-in-the-midst-of-a-depressive-episode-cleaning-your-house/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/4e8/rachel-hoffman-33385_problem-feel_when-you-re-in-the-midst-of-a-depressive_3096571.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/4e8/rachel-hoffman-33385_problem-feel_when-you-re-in-the-midst-of-a-depressive_3096571.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/4e8/rachel-hoffman-33385_problem-feel_when-you-re-in-the-midst-of-a-depressive_3096571.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“When you’re in the midst of a depressive episode, cleaning your house comes in on the List of Things You…” — Rachel Hoffman", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/expending-energy/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/expending-energy/", "name": "Expending Energy Quotes", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/expending-energy/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b0f/francesca-annis-7461_believe_i-don-t-believe-in-expending-energy-on-s_361650.jpg" }, "description": "Browse 6 Expending Energy quotes by 6 authors.
