No matter how little your motivation is , be active ! Do things anyway ! By doing that you’re telling your brain that depression isn’t stronger than you are , which is so important. Also realize that there will be great days in the future , and they’re worth it. Maybe look forward to an upcoming album by your favorite artists or look forward to a fun event ! And finally , be kind to yourself. You’re a warrior and depression is so hard , so the fact that you can be open about it and still power through is amazing.
Thank you soooo much ! ? you have such a way with words seriously.
@freedomprojectgina Aww thank you so much , always here for you!! ??
Going outside is really powerful, and I'm not saying you need to go on a long hike to feel better. Simply sitting outside, listening to the sounds, letting the sun beam down on you is very good for depression, I don't know why but if I get myself to go outside when I'm depressed I feel better 100% of the time. Also, if you're saying anything negative to yourself right now, stop that:( You are good, you are strong, you are smart and if you're telling yourself otherwise then that's unfair to yourself. My motto is, if you're going to say something mean to yourself, always complement it with a compliment. For example: " I never get anything done" ... "But I brushed my teeth today, and that's something!" I hope this helps :)
Yes!! This is really good advice . I’d forgotten about just going outside. Thank you for taking the time to write this ??
@freedomprojectgina I hope you feel better soon, friend!! You deserve happiness!!! :)
I recommend and app called mindpath. Everyday it asks you 3 sets of questions for 14 days. Then they give you a report of how your mental health is and how to improve it. Then it continues repeating every 14 days. Hope this helps!
Thank you !! I love stuff like that that I can actively work with. I’ll look into it ☺️
Sorry is that definitely what the app is called? I can’t find it
@freedomgina Sorry, my mistake. It’s called Moodpath sorry
Hi weighing in. personally I feel that my depression stems from my ocd. However my recovery is up to me. Just move through your day. And act as if. ❤
OCD is making me feel very depressed. I’m on the highest dose of fluoxetine. I was “okay” a week ago but now I just feel hopeless and irritated by everything. Can anyone share tips which make could make me feel better even just for a little while?? Thank you
Has anyone got any tips on how to stop feeling depersonalized?? And to just ground yourself a bit within
hey guys i am needing some advice. recently my depression and ocd has been so bad i’ve gotten myself into one of the worst depressive episodes. it’s been affecting my sleep, relationship and eating which only makes my ocd worse. it’s so bad i have to take a week off work because i can’t even get out of bed to get ready. it’s been a while since i’ve been so deep into depression and wanted to hear any tips? i’m going to start new medication as well as continue therapy but the eating part and getting ready is hard. any tips for situations like this? i am wanting to do as much as i can on my own but my partner is also helping take care of me as well as my sister. i just feel bad and want to at least try and do as much as i can alone. i really appreciate any tips! thanks :)
