Because I feel like I've lost my usual ones? I've had bouts of depression and anxiety since my early 20s; some of these (especially the first couple and when external circumstances have been particularly bad) have been quite severe and required antidepressants but in recent years I've been much better at spotting the signs and taking action and that seems to be really effective. But my normal actions are exercise, focusing on sleep quality and increasing my time with friends and out of the house. I'm 24 weeks pregnant and have pretty bad SPD; I'm finding walking around and picking up my toddler increasingly difficult so I can't find a form of exercise that isn't painful - I tried a couple of pregnancy workout videos and had increased pain for days so not keen to do that again, and running (my usual go to) is out of the question. My toddler is sleeping badly and in any case I'm sleeping badly even when he's asleep because of the SPD pain and general pregnancy insomnia. I'm in a tier 2 area so I can't easily go see family and friends (meeting outdoors is particularly crap if you can't go for a long walk, and no one else wants to do it) and I'm increasingly struggling with the isolation of working from home. I spend all day in Zoom meetings so can't face virtual 'socialising' in the evening. I know this sounds like a long rant (and it probably is a bit) but I'm desperate to find new coping techniques that are possible at the moment, but I'm at a bit of a loss. I remember what the darkest days of depression were like and desperate to avoid going back there but just feel myself drifting deeper and deeper into this rut, and then my anxiety getting higher and higher.
