Feeling depressed - not really sure why

[StormsDontLastForever]

Have been depressed for years, it's managed with daily medication. Things have been mostly good recently, I am thankful for all the good things I have in my life.

However, my GM has been ill recently (had a few falls and pneumonia) but recovered and is at home, however she just seems different, very withdrawn etc. My DM and DA look after her daily, I call and visit (at the window) when I can.

DP and I getting on very well just now, DD is a little angel. Not long passed my driving test, have a roof over our heads, food in cupboards etc.

But I just feel so depressed and anxious all the time. I'm overweight and can't seem to stick to any diet or healthy eating plan as when I get stressed I eat lots of rubbish. Don't know if that has anything to do with it all but I just feel so down & depressed and not sure why.

You say you are thankful for the good things in your life, your home, your DD and DP which is lovely.
You are worried about your GM so it's understandable that you feel down some days, life is difficult for us all in these strange times. Be kind to yourself. I know it's been said before but try to get out for a short walk every day it really does lift your spirits.

I feel anxious when I don’t exercise. I’m like a dog that’s stuck in a flat and never walked.

Ask GP to review your meds .

2 supplements that can make a difference are vitamin d and magnesium.

Tbh I'm surprised more people aren't depressed at the moment.
