Having a really low day/week. What helps you?

What has helped you guys feel even a little bit better? I need to be better for my husband and kid but can't get my footing. I slept all day today instead of work....

Thanks sincerely to the two who replied medication. Wondering if there is anything behavioural specifically? Just because I can't get my hands on meds quickly.

For me what helps is my medication. I'm currently taking antidepressants and sometimes benzos, and the antidepressants have helped me a lot. Without them I certainly wouldn't even be able to leave the house to go to work.

Modafinil can be helpful if you can get it - you can get it online in the UK. It's good for motivation and fatigue. Check your contraindications.

I agree - medication can help.

Would you feel comfortable sharing your medication? I've tried SSRIs and I'm not sure I've found them helpful...

Of course. I'm taking sertraline (antidepressant) and cloxam (benzo). And I do very well with both, with no side effects.
