The last few weeks, ok, the last month we have been taking down all the old items in my old place of work. I am now unemployed and I have to say I have been very depressed.
In this mode I have to some how find the motivation to be upbeat and present myself well in a job interview. Now, when I have been at my lowest I have to think about where to go, what to do and not just sit on the sofa and drink wine at 10 am. Its not easy. I have to say I do just want to sleep all day.
What do you do about it? Try going back to the gym, at least work out some of the stress. As you work out, even if its just taking the dogs for a brisk walk, it can help to clear your head. As you walk and get some fresh air you start to think about other possibilities. Sitting and watching TV does nothing to inspire you. If you go to the park or to the beach and just take some time to think, you can come up with one idea, at least.
Also just get out that old exercise DVD, we all have at least one, and use it. Get the blood back to your brain and see if it helps. Maybe list all the things you are good at, "Today this is what I like about me:" and write it down. Can you at least cook a good meal? That is an everyday need and it feels good. Did you help a friend in the last week? That was a good thing. Yes we all feel blue, that's why its call a "Depression" and yes we may need to have a 'good-cry'. That's normal, and fine. After you have had it out, watched a sad film, move on. Keep up your good eating habits, take a walk and get back out there. It will only feel better if you keep it up.
