I've had "inertia" for what seems like months now. I'm not "depressed" (I damned well better not be with all of the psych meds I'm taking) but I'm excessively sleepy, and haven't been able to get much more done than dishes, laundry (and those often are done much later than I ought to let them go until), getting food, getting Matthew to and from school. I sleep a LOT during the day, and always wake up tired no matter how early I get to bed.
What I SHOULD be doing, and I don't really know why I keep forgetting to do it, is take my meds earlier in the evening (they all have sedating effects which could last until morning) and USE MY LIGHT. I spent around $200.00 about 12 years ago to get a "full spectrum light" and then I haven't used it much.
However, I'm not the main breadwinner in the household (thank goodness) so I don't have terribly much motivation to work on the intertia. Have you looked into getting a full spectrum light? I know also that before I developed neuropathy in my feet, I used to enjoy walking and working out at the gym. Both help with depression (I know it's hard to just get started with excercise when you're depressed, but it really has helped me in the past).
In any case, good luck with finding some answers that work for you.
