Stress And Depression

Depression is very common and everyone feels fed up, sad, unhappy, miserable at times. Sometimes we know that there is a cause for our depression - maybe we have just broken up from a relationship, maybe someone we were close to has died, we may have failed exams, we may be ill - but other times there doesn't seem to be one cause - it may be a build up of problems, feeling unable to cope with life and we are not really sure why.

Here's a handful of tips that might help you:

• Try talking about your feelings to a friend, family member or health professional.
• Get started with exercise even if it’s just a walk outside, set some time aside just for your self.
• Look to plan your time, make a list to help you take control.
