Welcome to the forums!

Congrats with taking that step to make an appointment.

You able to get out for exercise? That helps me a lot at times, to get out for a brisk walk, see something different, get some fresh air. Even if I can only make it around the block, in the rain, with an umbrella up to shield me somewhat. Exercise does help.

What do you enjoy, what is fun for you? Thinking along those lines and then doing things that are playful and distracting can also be effective.
