I was pretty depressed for a while, but in the past year or so things have been improving for me both materially (graduated school, new job, apartment, and so forth), and psychologically. I’ve managed to build some habits which have kept the depression at bay and have reached a point where at the very least I’m comfortable with how I feel, and tend to look forward to life in general, which is truly a pretty big change for me.  It’s hard work keeping my mental state together, but it seemed like I had something going in the right direction. 

The last two weeks, however, have been pretty damn rough. It feels like a chore to do the things I’ve been doing for a while now (exercising, good sleep, socializing frequently), and I’ve been feeling my mood start to fall back into that old sort of anhedonic and disinterested place that plagued me for years. This is on the back end of some pretty big life changes, so the disturbances to my mental health are expected to an extent, but im feeling a little lost on how to get out of this slump. It feels like I’m sort of on the brink of spiraling back into a place I don’t want to be, and I’m frankly pretty scared of that, as it took so long to even get to this point. Is this a common feeling for you guys? Any tips on how, essentially, I can get my shit back together?
