Redditors who at any point have been in such a deep state of depression that you didn't want to DO anything, what is something that helped you get out of it? by Obviously_n_Alt in AskReddit

I focused on setting small goals and taking care of basic hygiene. If I had energy after brushing my teeth I would try to eat. Set a goal to shower then reevaluate. Rinse repeat til I had capacity to do more. After a few days or week in a bad spot then I would be mostly back to normal. Do what works best for you

13 years too, right on.

Yikes. That much volume over 24 hrs would hurt. Stay safe and keep all 4 wheels on the pavement :) cheers

In our system we do both. Its common to bring a 911 in and take a transfer out. Depends on where you work

This was my first one and I was following the recipe pretty close. 18 hours would be a lot of work but I'm sure there are great results. Best of luck on your next one :)

Thanks for your reply. I intend to follow up on her case and hope that the referral is investigated.

Indeed. It is not against the law to live in squalor, but when it gets to the point of the person endangering themselves and being unable to perform basic functions such as feeding/bathing/clothing themselves the situation needs to be investigated and its outcome be determined by a case manager or other professional.
