For those suffering from depression, what helps you to alleviate your depression?

Sleep, eating and exercise. Sticking to a routine no matter how hard it is that includes those three things combats a depression. You omit any one of those three you feed a depression and eventually it takes over

Thank you. Everyday is a struggle to get through just now 😕

[Pterodon]

I know. Sometimes it’s seems totally impossible to do all three but you have to

How do you find the motivation when you've hit rock bottom?

[Pterodon]

Tbh sometimes I don’t and it does take over. I’m not perfect. What I’ve learned is to white knuckle it knowing it WILL pass eventually

[Pterodon]

The motivation is knowing what will happen if I don’t do those three things

Thank you

It seems to me that only one thing works... Surround yourself with better people...

[Asker]

Thank you. That makes sense. The only type of people that's ever came into my life is toxic manipulators and narcissists

[Rockstarrrrr]

I can relate...

Finding something exciting, and slightly physically risky to do. I find physical risk puts other issues in life in perspective. (not too much risk - just enough to be aware of it)

Having someone to talk to but, seeing as how THAT never happens, I have to rely on music!
