So stressed, my normal tricks arent working, do you have any new ones?

How are your sleep patterns? That was something my doctor urged me to focus on. I thought it was a silly request, since my depression kept me up at night and my lack of motivation kept me in bed all morning. But i spent 6 weeks really focusing on habits that would improve my sleep and it ended up helping a lot. Ask your doctor for a sleep specialist or just google "how to get better sleep" they might tell you similar tricks

Hi @whatistheissue

How are you doing today?

I am sorry to hear you are falling back into a small depression. Eating healthy and working out is a great way to start. As @mvn481 said, sleep schedule is also very important. I always find playing and caring for a pet brings me out of a mood.

I will tag a few other members, maybe they can tell us what they do to ward off depression.

Beyond medication, what do you do to pull yourself out of a depression? Do you have any stories to share? What advice can you give?

Take care,
