Hello, everyone.  This post is more general here, but definitely applies to this group, especially.  Basically, I wanted to show what it has taken me to keep going in life, even though I am still not at my absolute best point, yet.  I do not know if I will see that day for various reasons, but it is worth the shot.  For those who suffer as bad as I do on the daily, here are the things I have tried to cope to an extent:Walking, exercise, watching TV or youtube, support groups, medication, melatonin, cognitive behavioral therapy, crisis text line, talking to family and friends, eating better, waking up earlier, going to sleep earlier, thinking positive, embracing moving forward, leaving negativity behind, developed coping/defense mechanisms, law of attraction, dressing up, buying responsibly, helping others, smiling more, being more positive, laughing through the pain, crying when needed, mental health days/pampering, loving and embracing self, focusing on the "now", listening to music, becoming more spiritual, looking forward to events, socializing, thinking better of myself/knowing worth, and probably more.  I still feel like complete shit some days and lay in bed depressed but I am at least making the effort to better myself instead of harming myself.  Hope you all can see it can take so much to keep going but hopefully the effort is worth it!
