Recovery does not mean depression will never return. Instead, healing often involves creating a lifestyle that supports long-term mental well-being.

This may include:

• Establishing healthy routines

• Prioritising sleep and physical activity

• Setting boundaries with people who drain your energy

• Maintaining supportive relationships

• Continuing therapy, reflection, or personal growth practices

Think of recovery as building a strong foundation for your mental health rather than reaching a final destination.

Life will always bring challenges, but with stronger habits and self-awareness, you will be better prepared to navigate them.
