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.
I'm just depressed today. I have reasons to feel this way, but since I consider myself now an expert in my depression, I know what to do.
So I am posting just to set myself up to fight back by making today a "day that counts". I'm going to:
1 - Stay active. I'm going to the gym today, even if all I do is walk around.
2 - Do my chores. I have stuff to organize in my room. I'll do at least one of them. Will run a few errands too.
3 - Will follow up here. At the end of the day I'll check how I did.
4 - Will still love myself if I fail to do any of the above.
Thanks!

Hope you feel awesome till the end of the day
1 - Stay active. I'm going to the gym today, even if all I do is walk around. CHECK - went to the gym and did some exercise.
2 - Do my chores. I have stuff to organize in my room. I'll do at least one of them. Will run a few errands too. CHECK, kind of. Did very little but at least did something.
3 - Will follow up here. At the end of the day I'll check how I did. CHECKED. Here I am.
4 - Will still love myself if I fail to do any of the above. I didn't fail but I love myself (though I have to remind me a lot).
Thank you to those who showed me support and the hug. It was a nice touch.
This worked! Today was a potentially messy sad, petty day and it wasn't. Posting this list gave me focus and a sense of commitment.
Once again thank you for your support.
