Hi there,
Thank you for reaching out.
I know when I was home based for many activities (work/study) sometimes the walls got the best of me and my mind would play mental gymnastics.
However, what I found worked for me was to have a routine, to make sure I was reaching out to work colleagues via phone or online often. Making sure I also got out on my lunch break and not work through. I would eat and then go for a walk even 10-20 minutes getting out and connecting with nature, sunshine on my face, and that mental disconnect from work would improve my mental health, mood, energy and even focus. Also making sure I am prioritising my sleep and sticking to a regular routine as well as that can affect mood as well.
Making sure you have a good doctor and therapist to assist you for these times when you may be feeling a little flat is helpful and supportive too. Self-care is essential.
Sometimes just the mental acceptance of today is one of those days and riding those waves was helpful. "This too shall pass..." on the heavier days.
I hope you find these suggestions helpful and see what you can add in to your own self-care routine. 🌻
