What do you do when you feel fed up or depressed?

Recommended Posts

If one of your GP's at your surgery specialises in mental health problems or depression then chat to them initially. Tell then of your worry about having to wait for an appointment when you are particularly bad, some of them have an open access policy for this.

 

It may only work with one or two doctors in the practice so you have to go when they are there. But how it worked where I used to work, if anyone with these problems needed to see the doctor that day they would be put on the end of that doctors list and they would come as surgery was finishing so they could spend the time they needed to with that doctor and not just have a 10 minute appointment.

I force myself to go for a walk or do some gardening. Once I'm outdoors I start to feel better

Thanks to everyone for sharing what you do when you feel in a low mood. I think of flowers and my Conemporary Floral Design business and my page on Facebook. It is so absorbing that it takes my mind off what is getting me down. It works for everyone. You just have to find something that you are really interested in. It's different for everyone.

Another one for taking a walk even a short one nearly always improves my mood.

 

Also doing things around the house even just cleaning helps.
