As it says, I'm on maximum medication and can't change that right now. On waiting list for talking therapies. What can I try now? I walk lots and take a probiotic and vitamins otherwise diet is pretty shit (meds make me eat and I can't be bothered to cook often). Willing to try most things. Sick of feeling like shit with depression and anxiety now. Just want my life back.

Also instagrams to follow? APs to use? Books to read?

Stay hydrated.
Get enough sleep.
Take your medications properly.
Buy less junk food for home & eat less junk when out.
Have a hobby/interest of some kind.

Star Well done on the walking!

I was hoping medication would work at Least for a short while but it's not really helping

Sorry you’re having a rough time.
Basic healthy things (that everybody should be doing!) won’t hurt, and might help.
Have you been on the medications long?
Many people have had good chats with the Samaritans- you can always try that.
Hopefully you’ll get an appointment soon. Flowers
