You ever just feel “off” for a few days, low interest, low energy, lack of motivation, poor sleep, eating WAY too much, and have it take you a good 3 - 4 days before picking up on the obvious fact that depression has decided to move in again?

Yeah it last took me a week to realize, thankfully lexapro has been helping a lot.

For me it's definitely not just for a few days :(

Yeah, I can feel it in my body before i realize it logically. As i get older its getting easier to recognize the signs and take steps to mitigate before it really sinks it's claws in.

Yep. It’s a cycle that I continually get better at working with instead of against.

For me it's usually during the winter time that it kicks in. I don't pick up on it for a few days but making sure that I get outside can usually stave it off for awhile until I have to bust out my bright AF lamp for my morning coffee.

That shits so bright it hurts

But hey, at least it keeps the darkness at bay.

Getting like 5k+ steps of engaged walking per day helps me a lot

This resonates in my bones.

sigh It’s 100% because I fell off the bandwagon of basic well-being tasks again. Thanks for giving me the energy to start again!
