Hi Kellbby, welcome to the forums.

A good place to start would be our Self help tips for managing depression thread. 

Also, have a look through the Staying Well forum, there are loads of threads in there on how you can stay on top of things. Feel free to jump in to any of those and ask questions.

Hi Kellbby,

Welcome to Beyond Blue.

2 tips that work for me are: 1. Keeping busy/active doing things that occupy the mind. Especially pastimes you are passionate about and 2. Reading a good book on Self-esteem. This helped me to build a defence for handling lots of different scenarios, negative thoughts and other self-defeating behaviour.

Cheers
