Hello,
Depression can have an impact on every aspect of life. Currently I'm really struggling and self care isn't easy for me. I keep being put down by people around me for being proud of what feels like huge achievements.
Ive made this thread so we can share our self care when we are struggling.. from brushing your teeth, to having a shower or changing your clothes.
Self care is super important but also a huge struggle for many, let's normalise the struggle of looking after ourselves!

Thanks for reaching out to us. I am glad you can recognise your own achievements, even in difficult times. Would you like to share your achievements with us? We are a rather supportive and friendly group. Regardless, I want to say well done for your achievements. If they are big to you then they are big and worth celebrating. Also, what a supportive thread this could be
I know people sometimes can put you down, even for things that make us happy! My most extensive advice is to try to don't take any bad energy from people. If they don't understand your achievement, it doesn't mean that your effort to achieve something its been useless—good job for having a peaceful walk in nature. I think being surrounded by green plants and trees is relaxing and soothing for the mind.
As @Laura_tigger82 says, we're always here if you want to share your future accomplishments because I know for sure you will have plenty to note down to us.
A big hug,
Cosmo.
