Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Time for some teamwork!
I think it would be a great idea if we all pitched in to compile a list of things we can do to help us get through our worst days. We all have different things that we do that seem to help, so everyone just add to the thread a list of things that work for you, personally. Then we can all take a look and see if there is something that works for someone else that we might like to try. Can be anything - mode remedies, activities, mental techniques... whatever!
I'll start..
- Drinking tea
- Going for a walk
- Going to the gym
- Reading
- Writing poetry
- Eating fresh fruit and berries
- Chocolate
- Getting a haircut
- Getting a new piercing
- Listening to loud music (ska, punk, whatev)
- Going out for coffee or drinks with a friend
- Snowboarding
- Sitting in a quiet, beautiful place.. like at the riverside or in the forest
- Sitting in the sun
