  Seek professional help.Your local worker or Mental Health Nurse is a good place to start.

  Remember that with the right help, you can get better.

  Keep up with activities that you used to enjoy when you where well.

  Stay connected. Keep in contact with family and friends.

  Exercise regularly, even if it’s just a short walk.

  Stick to regular eating and sleeping habits.

  Accept that you might have depression and adjust your expectation. You may not be able to accomplish as much as you do usually.

  If you feel suicidal (that life is no more worth living), contact someone for help immediately!
