Dealing with depression: How following a daily routine can help manage emotional well-being

May 12, 2021 Vivian Cheng at her home in West Kowloon. Cheng suffers from depression but finds a healthy daily routine helps her manage her symptoms. South China Morning Post In 2011, Vivian Cheng was diagnosed with depression after the collapse of a long-term relationship. Since then, she has been regularly seeing both a psychologist and a psychiatrist, and taking antidepressant medication. The Hongkonger, who is in her 40s, also joined a support group for people with depression and says that their meetings have been instrumental in her recovery. I learnt a lot about this complex and misunderstood condition, including the fact that it s a mental illness and that it s normal, she says. Being in that healing, non-judgmental space also taught me how others deal with their symptoms. Knowing that there are others like me reassures me that I m not alone in this struggle.

Tips from wedding experts

TURN IT INTO A FANCY DRESS BALL Instead of trying to coordinate your bridal party outfits with masks, have the members put on costumes instead!

However, with masks being compulsory, couples now think of creative and fun outfit ideas while abiding by safe distancing regulations. One of the cleverest ideas seen at a wedding, according to Ms Caroline Yakop-Lim, principal planner and co-founder of The Wedding Entourage, was the wedding party parading down the aisle in dinosaur costumes. Given the need to be ‘covered up’, the wedding party can opt to go ‘all the way’ and inject a sense of fun by wearing fancy costumes over their masks. (Photo: Highest Kite Weddings)

TEXT PEARLYN THAM While it’s probably one of the most exciting periods of a couple’s life together, the run-up to a wedding is, nevertheless, often a challenging time. And for Nur Izzati and Muhammad Rafie, both 29, things were even more challenging. Despite having spent one year making plans for their nuptials, the couple, who had dated for seven years, had to face the start of a global pandemic. They had originally wanted to hold their wedding on 4 April last year but had to scramble to bring forward their solemnisation ceremony by one week to 27 March instead. Says Nur Izzati, a therapy assistant specialising in occupational and speech therapy for school children: “We anticipated a lockdown, so instead of risking not being able to hold our solemnisation, we pushed it forward instead.”
