Have recovered but I am still experiencing low moods and a lack of motivation
Winter time makes it difficult to undertake running and horse riding which reaĺly helps me cope when life overwhelms me.

Hi @Gretal
Welcome to the forums. I totally get what you are saying about winter coupled with low mood and lack of motivation. Sounds like my life to be honest.
If you want to tag someone so that they get a notification you just put the @ symbol followed by their name with no spaces. Then you click on their name in the little drop down box that appears. You will get the hang of it pretty quickly.
Well done on working out how to make your first post. Took me ages to work out! Looking forward to seeing you around!
