Hi Rob

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

I think that the others have offered you some great ideas. Lara and Dave both mentioned meditation. I use meditation/mindfulness methods every day - they help me to stay in remission from Major Depressive Disorder.

Dave's idea of getting your GP to refer you to a mental health professional is also excellent. In my case help from a psychiatrist and a clinical psychologist has been invaluable.

If ever you think that it might help, please feel free to get in touch with me by PM if you would like to share experiences about depression.

All the best.
