(I won't go into my story too much in this first post, but I'm happy to talk more about it if more details of my experience are required!)
I've been suffering with depression for nearly a year now. I've not been officially diagnosed with it; whilst my mood is generally low, I sleep and eat as normal - it's more that my thoughts are scary and feed into a cycle of feeling hopeless and very sad. I have never self-harmed or attempted suicide but I do think about it.
I'm also coming to the end of my time at university so the future is understandably on my mind quite a lot. I don't really have any strong indications as to what I want to do once I graduate, which is fueling a lot of anxiety. As mindfulness is all about fully inhabiting the present moment, how are you supposed to know what to do next? Or how to make any decisions for that matter?

Also, does anyone have any advice for using mindfulness whilst in the midst of depression? Most of the advice out there is aimed more at preventing relapse.
