I've learned that emotions are temporary. Sometimes I have to remind myself that depression is temporary, even when it feels endless.
I've learned to keep putting 'one foot in front of the other' like the old Kris Kringle Christmas Special song. If I can keep up with my routine, I can keep going. It's when my routine is interrupted that it all comes crashing down around me.
I've learned to push through my worst time of day. My worst time of day is the morning. Mentally and physically I am not worth ***** in the morning.
I am still learning how I manage to put these things behind me in order to keep going on. Maybe there is a certain amount of 'burying' things. I also live with depersonalization/derealization, so my emotions are often muted and distant.
I hope you find something that helps.
