That's a great thing to do..

For me I tend to remove myself from any stressors and when possible retreat to a “safe space”, which at home is my bedroom. Mindfulness is always helpful, and just focusing on your breath.
Hi Pixie I find colouring books are helpful as are doing jigsaws and listening to music.

When you went to see your GP for the first time, did you have to go in to the reasons you thought you had depression/PTSD?
Without going into the details too much, I had a couple of episodes last night which resulted in lots of tears and generally feeling rubbish.
You don't have to, but you really do sound like you need to see someone. You can be vague with them if you need to be.

You just need to explain your symptoms and let the doctor do the diagnosing.

You can be as vague as you like but it might be harder to get a proper assessment and diagnosis and therefore appropriate treatment.

I just don't want to bring everything up. Like, maybe I could start with antidepressants first to help my mood then refer to IAPT for counselling when I feel ready? Is that something they'd let me do
It's your body, your health, you get to decide what you do and when....
