As weird as it sounds, one thing that helped me is to just accept that I’m feeling down today and that’s it. Like, yeah I’m sad today, what about it? And then go on with the day or don’t go on with the day, whatever I can do.
It helped me to accept that I don’t always have to be the sunshine in the room. I can’t be always happy and that’s fine, and I don’t have to pretend either. Tomorrow is a new day and things might be better.
I have struggled with depression before and the uphill battle was tough, but I made it out. Accepting my feelings helped, talking helped, venting helped, setting small goals helped. With enough small steps forward and some steps back you eventually do move forward. It’s okay to struggle.

Sometimes, yeah.
