Me vs Depression
Hey guys :)
I really had to fight my depression today. I didn't sleep very well last night and I was a mess in the morning, I felt like staying in bed for the rest of the day, surrounded by my negative thoughts and so on.
Then I ate 2 apples of my favorite kind, very sweet and juicy, and some tangerines. :) I felt better after, I was quite thristy and that was probably contributing to my bad mood.
I slowly started to do.... things. Small steps, one thing at the time. I put my notes in order for the next exam, I checked facebook. Nothing too hard. I studied for 2 h then I took a walk and it was one of my best decision ever. I reallly really needed fresh air.
I went to the gym although today was supposed to be a rest day ( I'm addicted for me it's hard not to go there). All I did was pilates and stretching but it was wayyy better than spending the whole day in my room or worse, in my bed.
At the end of the day, I can say I managed to study and have a pretty normal day despite my depression and all my dark thoughts. I did it on my own but there's nothing wrong with seeking help.
That wasn't the first nor the last day I had to fight my depression, but I know I can handle it and I will be fine no matter what. And so will you!
