Depression can show up in our lives when we would least like it to. It can lead to poor motivation, sleeping for long periods of time, distancing from friends and family, and a decrease in pleasure in activities we used to enjoy. Tackling some of the thoughts that keep us in this cycle can be helpful, as can engaging in activities that start to stimulate our bodies (exercise, getting out of the house, connecting with others). If you are finding that you are isolating, staying in bed for most of the day, avoiding activities or people that you used to enjoy or feeling low mood a lot of the time, then you may want to reach out for some additional support to introduce new tools and techniques to get you back to where you want to be.
