Morning, fellow turkers! I have a quick question about motivation re: mental illness stuff. Do any of you on here suffer from depression, and on hard days when it affects you the most, how do you stay motivated?

To some extent... PTSD and Panic Disorder here. Depression is definitely there at times but what's cool about turking is I can stay in my cocoon those days and work from my laptop on the couch. It actually helps me feel better, more productive. Sure, there's still a load of wet laundry in the washer and a sink full of dishes, but I made $30 taking surveys, dammit. :) Hope you feel better.

I don't have depression. But, I am aware that there was a sad panda's thread on the other board. Folks posted there - I think you could start one here, too. I think people saw it as supportive :)

I listen to a lot of uplifting music if I can. I also have a subscription to brain.fm that plays really calming music. Though you can also probably find that kind of thing on Youtube as well. Sometimes if I feel really bad I also just let myself get pampered. Like take a bath, take a nap, etc. Hope this helps!

I don't know how to do the spoiler thing, but sometimes you just have to let yourself NOT work. Don't pressure yourself unnecessarily. Sometimes, though, MTurk is a way for me to escape and NOT think about my life.
