Everyone’s different and deals with things differently, but some people deal with certain things the same way. How do you deal with being sad or depressed?
I don't really get depressed. The only time I can say I was feeling depressed was probably in high school, hormones raging, feeling like you don't fit in kind of stuff.
I just don't have time. I listen to update, positive music, I get out and do things, I spend time with the people I care about.
When I was a teen I'd go to my room and play melancholy music and isolate myself. That is not what you do. You plug in and engage. It passed and I guess when the hormones of youth level off so did any gloom I felt. I don't feel depressed.
I take antidepressants, get talk therapy, take breaks, do various forms of self-care, set aside time for things I enjoy, and make sure to count my blessings and remind myself of all the things I have to be thankful for. But the only thing that seems to actually help is when I get the chance to talk to a nice girl.
Hmm I'm depressed most days, but when it gets really bad I will take an antidepressant not that does much when you don't take them regularly. Though it always settles my anxiety down, so I can think logically and not focus on whatever is getting to me because most things in life don't even matter.
Rest, eat right (foods can change moods), do the practices that restore health (exercise, meditate, talk to wife/good friends, reduce life to simple things, lower stress), write down issues so I can work on them, connect with others/nature.
I eat protein. A friend who's a psychiatrist told me the first thing they do with depressed patients when they're admitted is given them a steak. There's something in protein deficiency that is quickly alleviated with a steak dinner.
They use medication as a last resort at the place he works because not everyone can afford it, but they try to use food as actual ways to improve alongside traditional talk therapy and getting outdoors and away from anything online.
I usually try to focus on things I love. Distract myself. Hit the gym, focus on my job, hangout with my best friend, try to watch something funny. Really try to focus on other things.
Hi! This is me Peyton and i'm asking a question about depression cause i'm depressed, yet you still can see my photo but this time a modest one 😁
Well miss peyton, why are you sad and depressed, i think that you're a funny girl, have lots of evergy inside of you and obsessed with selfies 🤣🤣 Just relax, throw all negativity behind your back and stay positive... I believe that there are people who are willing to listen to you to help you and make you happy again !
First off, love the picture. I never get tired of looking at you. Secondly, mine is like a double edged sword. If I am feeling a little down or depressed usually the gym helps but then sometimes I don’t feel as strong as I should or look as big or cut as I want to be so it backfires on me. Thankfully I don’t feel this way too often but when it does happen it’s hard to shake.
I exercise to take my mind off of it, I read fiction or I practice coding. Basically I have to "force" myself to do stuff in order to "postpone" my thoughts. I am not sure if that is healthy though.
I've only had depression because of outside stress. So for me I just need to take care of myself and make sure there's not too much pressure on me from outside and I'll be fine.
I think about what is causing it first. Then I try to work on fixing that problem. I also listen to music, write in my journal, take walks, exercise... dance...
Keep yourself busy in the sense of being active. It's really a certain amount of movement that helps to break a negative cycle. A bike ride in the sun is a therapy unit!
I take a bath and cry or I shove it down until I don’t feel anything anymore (which usually leads to melt downs later on) or I take myself to get coffee.
Just sleep with nature. Loving the outdoors. Accepting yourself and making more room for yourself to love. Nature walks always helped me and of course praying!! Journaling as well
