Down and out
#7
If your feeling down, depressed, anxiety is sort of taking over your everyday life than that can take a serious toll on your physical health as well as mental health. Here's some tips and things like that. Note - these are not my own tips but are tips of the UK Government and Health Service. But I use them in my capacity as a youth worker when I come across this.

Also don't hesitate to PM me man. I don't know you, but I'll be more than happy to talk things through with you Smile

BE MORE ACTIVE


Spoiler :
Don’t withdraw from life. Socialising can improve your mood. Keeping in touch with friends and family means you have someone to talk to when you feel low.
Take up some form of exercise. There's evidence that exercise can help lift your mood. If you haven’t exercised for a while, start gently by walking for 20 minutes every day.


FACE YOUR FEARS


Spoiler :
Don’t avoid the things you find difficult. When people feel low or anxious, they sometimes avoid talking to other people. Some people can lose their confidence about driving or travelling.
If this starts to happen, facing up to these situations will help them become easier.[/spolier]

HAVE A ROUTINE
[spoiler]
When people feel down, they can get into poor sleep patterns, staying up late and sleeping during the day. Try to get up at your normal time and stick to your routine as much as possible.
Not having a routine can affect your eating. You may stop cooking regular meals, eat snacks throughout the day instead or miss breakfast because you’re still in bed.
