I am havin a bit of a mental health crisis, I suffer badly from anxiety and depression, no concentration or motivation. Very low moods and struggling to get thru each day since leaving a very violent ex. I am looking for ideas of things people have done that has helped get their life back. I feel it is spiralling worse instead of improving. I have been to doctors and they have signed me off for a month. I am finding no enjoyment in anything and barely fulfilling the basic needs of my kids. I have been referred to mental health team but haven't heard from them yet. If you have a lever been through something similar how did you get out of it? What helped? Any activities or apps or did you turn to religion or spiritual or anything at all? Thank you in advance

In my second bout of depression this one since June last year on medication which has helped but the dosage is high and since I’ve been in this strength my anxiety, inability to not overthink stupid situations is still so bad.

mine is due to shit work and even shitter manager - changed depts 3 months ago and less stress here BUT still get the moments like … 2 weeks ago, offererd help to old team as only one in stressed IF they felt they needed help…. This resulted in the one team member getting moody and slagging me off.. who do I think I am.. they don’t need help.. how dare I offer

I then spent the next 4 days in my head wtf have I done, are management going to talk to me. Every logically thought went out the window.

I always overthink and I have anti anxiety medication and I had to take the highest dosage I allowed for those 4 days just so I could breath.

I deleted all contacts for the old team - so I’m never tempted to offer again…and the person who’s reaction was ridiculous could be on fire and I’d walk away from them.
