Ive been offline since last friday,when we lost electricity and then came the heat wave.Ive been in hell.When I checked babble,your post really affected me. I think youve been so open with how you feel,and it brought back the feelings I had when in the midst of my breakdown.I hope you can find a way to go forward.Can you start your day with a walk? This will get you active,and outside.The first thing I started doing once the acute phase of depression passed, was to walk,not far at first.I promised myself that Id do it everyday,and I have continued that.It is the foundation of my good mental health now.Doing something physical gives you self esteem,confidence.Ive started doing push ups everyday too,and when they became easy,I felt successful.Maybe thats a small thing,but it works for me.
