I've had depression since a child, and with PCOS it gets worse when I am stressed or going through a hard time. I want to learn how to manage stress without contributing to my depressive episodes. I always know I am depressed when I start eating a lot and put on a lot of weight, which is bad for PCOS.

Sometimes I've been depressed from conflicts with my husband or from really tough work situations. What could I do to self-care when those things happen? I'm so tired of falling into the same old rut with weight gain and feeling more depressed. What I've done so far that helps a little is to not engage with people anymore who aren't interested in having a healthy relationship. It's easier to set boundaries with friends than it is with a work or a spouse. What works?
