Depression

It's a dark demon. And it's swallowed me again smiley
Any coping strategies? I don't want to go back on antidepressants.

Some good advice here. Lots of distractions are important. Keeping busy, going outdoors and doing stuff, talking to people, setting goals and working towards them. Music's great to listen to and find comfort from, and it can help influence moods and feelings in a direction you want them to go. There's nothing wrong with having a good cry too, it can get some of the stress out especially if you haven't cried for some time. Remember to look after yourself and love yourself - you're the only person who'll be with you for your entire life, always.

Thanks for all your advice. Trying to find times to do things for me again. I think I need some selfish time.
