It hard to break the cycle of depression once it starts, especially as my anxiety and depression can trigger my migraines. Today it wasn't a migraine instead it was a tension headache that meant every time I moved I felt my head might explode.
This meant I wasn't able to make it to Hafal, which in turn results in more depression and the cycle goes on. But I'm trying not to give in to look at the positives, it is surprising how small things can help, last night a friend messaged me to ask if I was OK, and I managed to invite her for a coffee next week, a huge step for me. Just being contacted by friends means so so much, and helps me get through the following hour. It can be tempting when the depression starts to put things off till I feel better, instead I'm trying to plan things.
