How do you deal with slumps

How do you guys deal with slumps? Since starting FT I’ve just felt out of it like apathy. I put on 30 pounds, my mental state is fucked and I’m losing interest in everything. I’ve gone outside once since NY and I miss my friends and family.

Please — get outside. I hate running as much as the next person, but you need air and sunlight. Go for a few long walks.
