I'm finding it difficult to open up to anyone at the moment..
If honest I'm lost as to what to do.
I did try counselling a while back but I found it didn't help at all but made me worse.
I have asked the doctor for anti depressants.
I managed over 20 years without them and relied on self care. Which worked. And now I'm so lost I dont know where to turn.
Lockdown broke my routine. It broke my mind.

@Gangstress what was it that you were holding on or that held you from falling into this situation?

Sorry if I am asking too personal stuff

@Larksky I just knew what made me ok and what kept my head above water
Routine was key. Waking up at the same time, going to the office, socialising.

Exercise was limited due to a slight injury
Nature its getting wetter and darker atm
Travelling, I miss it. But don't have much time off at work to try and get out and about. Plus I don't know if I'll get stuck somewhere due to covid cases on the rise

@Larksky not at all. I have clinical depression. There's no cause
Just a chemical in my brain that rarely works
