What to do when you have a bad day
Manage episode 428412661 series 3143675
In this video podcast I want to talk about managing mental health during difficult times, specifically focusing on how to cope with bad days and weeks.
A few weeks ago, I experienced a particularly bad day. This rough patch stemmed from some unresolved health issues that I thought were behind me but resurfaced unexpectedly. This led to a period of low mood and increased anxiety. For those of you who don't know, I've battled postnatal depression and anxiety. While these feelings still surface from time to time, I've learned ways to support myself and continue working towards my dreams.
On this particularly bad day, I struggled to maintain my usual self-care routines. I broke my boundaries, sought comfort in unhelpful habits like excessive TV watching and unhealthy eating, and felt overwhelmed with emotions. I cried on and off throughout the day, even while out and about.
It was tough, but I came out of that lull and wanted to share some thoughts that could help you.
