The One Thing I Do When I'm Depressed is...
What is the one thing you do to help yourself feel better when you're experiencing depression? It can be anything at all, even simple things such as a longer warmer shower and listening to music or sounds of nature before bed.
Play videogames
Listen to music or look at memes
Sleep too much and get needy
I take a drive. Sometimes somewhere specific, other times just aimlessly. I like to roll the windows down and turn the music up. Normally something with heavy bass, feeling the beat always puts me into a relaxed mood.
battle internally about telling my friends even though i know they suck at listening/understanding what i need but feeling bad for thinking that way when they try their best to help but also not wanting to be the person who brings bad traumatizing news all the time but also realizing bottling things up is not good
and then just accepting im a huge fucking mess lmao
@rainylibrary lmao this made me giggle, you sound like me. You aren't crazy! I hope you know that not everyone knows what to say but they mostly try to understand in their own way :)
@PosiPotato thats very true! i need to accept that not everyone can empathize and their sympathy means something nonetheless. thanks :)
I baby myself. I try to think gentle things, and do nice things for myself one small step at a time. I let myself lean on my supports. I remind myself that Ill forgive myself for anything that doesnt get done.
Stay up far too late watching comedy because the laughter makes you feel a brief rush of happiness. Get agitated at everything and yell at your friends. Sigh too often. Desperately want a hug but can
Lay in bed all day and let myself cry
Sleep a lot, eat less because I'm stressed or not motivated
Healing meditations.
