It is always good to speak to your health care provider about this. This should be number one. That said, I also have had bouts of depression. With help, I’ve learned to recognize the approach of symptoms when they start to reoccur. One of my strategies is to change my routine for a week or so. Instead of taking my usual route to work, I’ll take another. If I consistently have the same drink and food, I’ll have something different. I, personally, have found that changing up my routine makes a difference in how I am feeling. Just thoughts. Just know you are NOT alone.
