I have schizoaffective disorder and I am suffering from low mood today. Not sure why? I just feel sad.
I went for a walk to the park with the kids and I just felt depressed and awful, all I wanted to do was to lye down on the bed.
The thing is I start training for a new job tomorrow so I should be happy but I don't really feel it, I just feel down.
Does anyone have any tips to pull you out of a low mood?
