Hello @happy222 and welcome to the forums ☺️. 

How has your day been? 

[happy222]

I haven't done much today, so just in recovery mode 🥲

@happy222 how long has recovery been for you so far? I’m 2 weeks into nervous breakdown healing. New meds and relearning new behaviors.

@happy222 it's ok that you haven't done much today, you are doing the best you can and that's all that matters ❤️

I got diagnosed with depression and anxiety no medications at the moment. so I feel like it's so on and off, like I feel guilty not doing anything, but then distraction in and keeps me up at night 😭

[happy222]

Thank you so much! that means a lot 🥹

@happy222 i hear you. I'm sorry it's so hard for you at the moment and that things are so on and off and I can definitely relate. Are medications something you are looking into? Have you got any supports around you, friends, family, professionals? 

I'm usually up at all hours of the night and up late so feel free to tag me if you ever need to chat. If you type the @ symbol a little box should pop up for you to tag people ☺️. 

We are always here for you ❤️

Thank you so much, that means a lot! I feel like ever since I had my first mental breakdown 3 years ago, it has never been the same anymore like I'm so prone to depression and kept coming back to this mental state

@happy222 i hear you, depression is something that requires support in order to be managed. Whether that be by medications, professional supports, therapy or other alternatives. There's many different ways and everyone is different in what their needs are. 

Have you got any hobbies or interests that you enjoy doing when things aren't so tough?
