Dealing With Depression On Lockdown
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

Hello Lovelies
I have a question and I figured this was at least a good start. As I am sure several of us do I suffer from depression. This last year and a half has been especially hard because for me (and others) I know I need to go outside and at least see people.

I completely understand, i am also not a homebody, and suffered some major depression last year, not only because of COVID, but also because i only found out about my PCOS at the beginning of last year. The biggest thing that helped was just getting out to go walking as often as possible. Even just 30 minutes a day of outdoor time can seriously improve your mood. Be that 30 minutes walking, or sitting on a bench while reading a book, just make sure that you get that fresh air and sunshine.
And when its rainy or otherwise foul weather? Go out anyways!! Let your inner child out, jump in the puddles, splash in the mud, pretend like nothing else in the world matters. It will seriously help!!
