Sorry to hear that @saltandpepper

Can relate re depression.

I'm feeling pretty low too.

Just not winning on any front.

Do you have any distractions you can turn to?

Watching Matildas last night made me feel better, if temporarily.

Hi @BPDSurvivor @StuF

Yes, @saltandpepper ... I was wary that my depression may take over, esp because I'm at a more vulnerable point at the moment with medication reducation, life/work stressors etc, hence I'm taking more time to ensure self-care.

I used to think self-care was over-rated and it was selfish to have 'me' time. But now I understand how necessary it is. Without it, people can spiral down off below their baseline. Hence, as soon as I feel like things are upsetting the equilibrium, I work to manage it to get myself back to base.

What's something you can do as part of your self-care today?

I'm here @saltandpepper 💙

@frog @saltandpepper @BPDSurvivor

Agreed about the soccer. The olympics have been my friend (even if I'm still not sure they should be on at all)

I was like that too @BPDSurvivor

Didn't really get the self care idea, partly because I was brought up to believe that others come first, and putting yourself first was self indulgent/selfish. It took a few decades, but eventually I came to realise it's essential. I still get anxiety when I do take time out for myself, which is a bit sad. Give it another few decades and I might kick that too
