ABSTRACT
Annie is a 35-year-old wife and mother of two small children. For the past year, she has not enjoyed her family, friends, or her work, and each day feels like a burden. She lies awake at night, ruminating that she was the most negligent mother at the playground and that her husband has lost interest in her. When she wakes up in the morning, she feels tired and drags herself through the day. She cannot find the energy to clean the house or prepare dinner and on occasion has even forgotten to pick up her children at school. As a result, Annie feels worthless and believes that the feeling of being overwhelmed by normal daily tasks will never end.
