If, like Thema, you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, depressed or isolated, small activities such as returning to hobbies you remember enjoying, simple immersive creative tasks, and small acts of kindness can help. However, if these thoughts continue to hold you back from living the life you want to lead, it might be time to share how you feel with a friend, family member, community support group, or your GP.
