One of my first signs that I’m falling into a funk is that I socially withdraw. What has helped me a lot is signing up for regularly occurring social events (like sports leagues) where I’ve already committed to them in advance and other people are depending on me to show up (the latter helps a lot when I’m finding it hard to show up for myself)

I needed to hear this! I went through a bit of a funk earlier today.. A person said “no” for a project I’m working on .. and even though I KNOW it was perfectly reasonable .. and I know it wasn’t personal .. I still couldn’t help but feel really awful afterwards. Fortunately, with the passage of time I feel better now .. but you’re right .. even talking to somebody about it (when I was in that state) was really really hard (much harder than it would normally be).

Thanks for sharing Isabel!
