Anyone else feeling down? Support thread

I’ve previously suffered with quite bad depression/anxiety and I can feel it’s starting to really creep back in. For example, today I have only got out of bed to take the dog out for the loo. I want to nip it in the bud before it develops into full on depression again and I thought having some kind of daily support thread might help.

I’m going to drag myself out of bed and actually wash, eat something, do a bit of housework and go outside and get some fresh air. I’m also thinking that I’ll delete my social media apps for the rest of the week or longer - when I feel like this I can spend hours and hours mindlessly scrolling and just end up feeling even worse looking at other people’s “perfect” lives.

If anyone would like to join and share their good and bad days I would really appreciate it! I just can’t talk to people in real life when I feel like this.

Deleting social media sounds like a great idea! I deleted Instagram years ago because it was so smug and curated and made me feel like crap.

I'm feeling very down the last couple of days. All I want to do is sleep, but I have to work (on lunch at the moment).

I would like to join. I've been down a while and struggling with eating. I wake up most days around 3-4am and struggle to get back to sleep, which I think is due to depression. I'm thinking about counselling but it's so expensive!

Hope you do manage to have a wash and do a bit of housework, and get some fresh air @Niffler29 and I hope it makes you feel a little better. I walk my dog daily and I'm sure it does help.
Thanks for the thread, it would be nice to check in and support each other.
