I used to be great on making healthy habits and challenging myself, until I had a big change of lifestyle, getting into depression, now that I’m trying to be back on who I was, seems kinda impossible! How can I make it?

I had a similar situation. Actually I should say I had the same situation. And now I’m on the post depression phase. I did have some episodes. Now they have stopped. But I do have occasional anxiety. Well you could try getting up early because that’s the first step. Or just wake up at the time you set an alaram for. It really fills energy into one’s body. I felt it was impossible too. But here I’m mostly healthy😅. My boyfriend helped a lot. He is an angel. Off course you can’t have my boyfriend 😅. But you have your family and friends who care about you. Even if you think they don’t, they actually care. It’s a surprise, isn’t it? But that’s the truth. I know it’s hard to believe it but yeah that’s the truth. You are not a burden. Not at all. You’re so precious❣️. The second thing you can do is stop negative self talk. It’s really harmful. I have had many problems bcoz of this. The third is to have patience and trust in yourself. If you can’t take help. Love yourself and care for yourself. If you can’t ask for help. Talk to your friends and family. Don’t bottle up feelings. Say them loud. You are valid. Tell yourself that you matter. Slowly by following all these steps you will know your path to success again.

I have not been in your situation before but I have friends that did and what they told me is that they took it step by step you are not going to be you self tomorrow maybe not even the day after but in the end they did get there.

Hey ! Using this app is a great first step. I had a similar path, and the key is to trust the process and go step by step. When you lose hope, remember who you do this for : yourself, who you love so much ❤

I feel like a lot of it is small steps at a time don’t rush forward hoping for an instant turn around.While enthusiasm is amazing and really important rushing into it can make it seem a bit overwhelming if there’s not an instant change.In my opinion anyways.Even if it’s something simple like brushing your teeth,stepping outside and Taking deep breaths while noticing the world around you,a small walk around your neighbourhood etc. Just those small steps can instantly change your mood.What I also find helpful is listening to good upbeat music that makes me feel energised and choice of clothing too.For example if I want to feel productive and energetic I wear fresh sporty clothes,tie back my hair and wash my face.However if I want to be arty I wear dungarees,my hair down and listen to music.Those small things really change the whole course of my day.Hope this was helpful in one way or another:)

Try and get rid of all the bad and unhealthy foods and drinks in your house. get a journal and plan about your day and meals. Got. Don’t got to bed to late and wake up a bit early like 6:30 to exercise and do your daily routine. Limit screen time and if you need electronics for work rake brakes every now and then to rest your eyes. Get out the house, catch up with friends, do things that make you happy.

You can make it happen by having faith your own self I know it’s hard both you will get through it also remember set up a goal time but remember to do it at your own paste. Find something to motive you.

Take small steps towards being healthier and fitter. Start by adding more greens to your meals and going for walks everyday even if it is just a 15 min walk. Once you get used to that routine add some exercise into your day. Hope thats helps.
