Morning Depression

I was diagnosed with depression 10 years ago.  Some days are good others not so much. My depression is worse of a morning and I have been really struggling this last week. I have been trying to keep busy to stop me ruminating..

Hey memory57,

I thought I'd just pop by and ask how you are going this week? I understand it's been a bit tough for you recently. Have you been able to find anything to keep yourself busy?

 

I hope you are managing okay. We're here to chat if you need.

Hi memory57,

 

I am sorry to hear that you have been going through a tough time lately - have you spoken to your GP or mental health professional about this? Keeping busy does help, but it is important to address the root of the issue (your depression).

 

I hope things improve soon - how are you going today?
