Depression Support / by amkett

...See more Hi My sister was diagnosed with depression and has been receiving treatment through anti depressions for about 6 weeks now, with one increase in the meds. I have suspected she has been for a while as there has been a lot going on in our lives the past few years, to the point to which I think she has given up entirely and cannot motivate herself to push through her school work. I myself have anxiety and sometimes spells of depression and as a Psychology student & her sister I completely get why she is struggling. I am just looking for any advice for how I can help support her, especially when she is demotivated at a crucial time in her studies (exams in Sixth Form). I've tried various ways of her seeing the positive or how can I help motivate her, and other people have tried the harsher way - to which she definitely does not respond to (which I knew). Another thing is I am at uni across the country so can only verbally support her, and my dad who she lives with is no help whatsoever. I just want to help her do her best but not sure how as her depression has taken over her work ethic, saying things like I dont want to do work and that she is stupid and is going to fail and nothing is going in. Any advice would be much appreciated :)
How do I get back into my hobby

...See more Hi, firstly thanks for taking the time to read this :) Back to my question, I always used to be big into Art - drawing and colouring are my strengths and I find it very theraputic. Art is also one of the few hobbies I have outside of academia, as I cannot play sports to save my life. However ever since it became an anxiety trigger and stress during AS levels I haven't managed to fully get back into it. I've done bits and bobs but I want to kind of use it as part of my self help as well. Any tips on how I can get back into it or stop seeing it as a stress but a fun hobby
