output: hi I read your query and understand your concerns I am glad to know that you are willing to take necessary steps for avoiding similar problems of depression which had crippled you last year although all kinds of behavioral intervention need personal interaction and complete assessment but deep breathing is the one which can be used in any situations without much effort when you feel something is wrong do deep breathing allow a single breath of in and out around 10 15 seconds this will help you to control the tiredness and fatigue secondly keep yourself hydrated take at least four to five liters of water every day including the day of travel thirdly ensure proper sleep if possible if you are not able to sleep properly without medication then consult your specialist doctor and ask for a prescription for further information consult a psychologist counsellor online
