I was doing so good

[Spacey]

Oh man, I hear you dawgy. Those days where you're just gripped by panic and sadness, and you feel like you just can't get up and do those dishes, or mow that lawn, or go for that run. They're just awful, and they're a vicious cycle.

Find something, anything, that will let you snap out of it mentally, even if it's just for half an hour. 30 minutes of clarity... That's all you need to get up and get moving. You just need to be up and on your feet long enough to get that lawnmower engine going (or, if it's a dawgy powered push mower, to get that first strip of grass cut). Just get past that first point of no return (can't leave the lawn looking like that!), and you'll be golden for the rest of the day.

Do it for yourself. Do it for your kids. Do it for the leprechaun that watches you sleep at night, if you have to. Just get that 6 foot strip of grass cut, and make sure you cut it somewhere where the neighbours, passersby, or anybody else who might be able to see it can see it. That way you have to finish.
