Volunteering as it gets me out and doing something I enjoy - helping cook meals

My cats as they need feeding and are right little characters

Taking my meds.

Having friends who are just there for me no matter how I am feeling because they care.

The 2 most important steps to success that I've found are:

Keep breathing.  Yes, it's the last thing you want to do right now, but keep on breathing!

Positive self-talk.  That's hard too, especially when you're feeling cruddy, but keep talking to yourself positively and challenge those negative thoughts and feelings... you'll get there in the end.  Yes you will.  I'm talking from experience.  I know it's not your experience but if I can get through it then so can you!
