Just wanted to know different ways people juggle there daily life’s whist suffering from depression?
I have been suffering with depression for 8 years now and usually can keep control of my emotions and only have a wobble every now and then. I have recently been struggling more than normal after spending 15 weeks in lockdown alone, now I’m back at work in a high pressured environment. I experienced a traumatic childhood which I have not been struggling to deal with for the last 8 years and normally would throw my self in to work as a distraction but after returning from the COVID break I’m struggling to keep myself together and feel like I’m sinking.
Just seeing if there’s anyone else out there that’s in a similar situation and has any tips to help get back on track

I am not in a similar situation, but I wanted to tell you that between being alone in lockdown, work in a high-pressure environment, and a background of a traumatic childhood -- it's no wonder you are struggling more than normal!
As brokenlight said, be gentle with yourself. I think that is key. Don't try and be as strong as you were before. Accept yourself as you are right now.
You probably know the usual ways to combat depression, so I won't go into that.
Just remember to nourish yourself, stay hydrated, try and get extra rest -- all the good stuff.
I always suggest meditation, too, even though most people know about it. There are so many good ones on YouTube.
Thank you for your kind words, meditation is something I have never looked into before so I will definitely have a look. I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel it’s just a out keeping myself on the right path of finding it 🌟
