Any tips for taking care of yourself when you're very fucking depressed? My habits are really bad these days, I don't exercise, I eat like shit, I don't sleep well, I'm just on screens all day long. I don't know how to stop because I don't see any point but at the same it's just making me feel worse about myself..

As hard as it is you have to make a decision for yourself and decide to get back on track, it’s tough but you can do it. Also, try asking for help, it doesn’t have to be a professional necessarily but even a close friend or a family member. Sharing really helps and support is needed. Goodluck, I know you have the strength to pull through this!

When I’m feeling low, it helps me to order self care products. Facial wipes for when I’m too lazy to wash my face or shower. My favorite snack to make me feel better. Go easy on yourself. Remind yourself that what youre feeling is temporary. Allow yourself to be upset. Don’t punish yourself. The best thing I can do for myself when I’m in a bad way is to force myself to take a walk. I know it’s really hard to do sometimes but I think it could help! Sending love and light to you.

Also, I've found that salted crackers and apples are my best friend at those times. May not be an ideal diet, but for me they're easy to digest and won't affect the fact that when I feel like this my chronical gastritis will probably kick in. Every baby step is a huge victory 💙 don't diminish yourself.

I like to change the way in which I view time; instead of thinking I have to go through a day, I step it down to living minute by minute, being able to be okay even if it's just for a single minute. As I get better I swift to hours, then days, and so on. It helps me ease the anxiety of feeling like crap and feeling like it'll never end.
