Basic Self-help Tips for Depression/Anxiety

    Okay, I've been thinking about posting this for literally two weeks and I'm finally biting the bullet.

    I suffer from depression. It's come and gone for the past ten years or so. I'm in the grip of a fairly dire downswing at the moment- hence the vacillation about posting...decision-making goes out the window for me sometimes.

    I've been reading the depression/anxiety thread and found it really helpful, in that it gave me hope for the future. But I was wondering if anyone could offer self-help tips of things that helped you personally with depression/anxiety? Things outside of the generic exercise and healthy balanced diet. (I'm doing my best with both of those but bloody hell, it's hard to exercise when just brushing my teeth feels like a mammoth task...)

    Also, can anyone suggest specific food/meals that are good for when you have no appetite or interest in eating?


    (I've seen my gp, I'm on a waiting list for the psychiatrist, and I'm taking my tablets, so I'm not looking for medical advice at all!).


    Thanks for reading that, and sorry it's a bit rambly.
