I have Fibro/ME and a few other health conditions, which lead into low moods/depression/anxiety.
Apart from your usual everyday meds, what forms of self help/care do you use or try?
Mine is
Rest/sleep when able (in a dark room)
Hot Water Bottle
Listening to your Body (I still don't listen at times)
Try to get out and about (also hard at times for me)
Alternative therapies (not yet but will do)
Colouring, painting rocks (when I'm able)
Chocolate! 😊

My partner often uses a hot water bottle, especially for stomach/bowel pain.
