What helps?
Try to understand what’s happening, learn some more about how low moods and feeling depressed come come from anxiety and nervous exhaustion.
Look at mental patterns, what are you consistently telling yourself? Are your thoughts increasing the stress in your body?
Don’t push yourself, don’t think of yourself as broken, try and develop the understanding that this is something that can happen to anyone.
Prioritise good rest and nutrition as best you can.
This might mean making some simple and supportive of changes.
Give yourself permission to rest, when we feel low and anxious we can be hard on ourselves but it’s not gonna help the situation. Be gentle with yourself and consider trying a guided relaxation to help your rest deeply for 10 to 20 minutes at a time.
