My depression is getting worse and worse. I know nobody can help but me myself. But sometimes it’s really painful idk where it started where it came from but I’m trying my best to survive and live another day is my goal. And anyone who is going through this, I just wanna say that you’re doing good and I’m so proud of you for being strong 💪 love ❤
Thanks, man. Proud of you. Keep up the good fight 💕
Just keep fighting man, i know you can do this.
i feel so bad thank you for the good words♥️♥️♥️💪💪💪
Proud of you toooo🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
@@combatsambo774how supportive. Thanks pal
Cut out stimulants and alcohol completely. Start running. If you cant run, walk. Cultivate sleep hygiene. Eat a protein rich diet. Go to therapy (with a good therapist, change if you don’t have trust in them) make a gratitude diary.
and take antidepressants
You dont need them unless you have severe depression. And there has been shown they have residual negative impact on your brain if you use them for years. Therapy and training is just as effective and its good for you in the long run.@@nuptvalorant1494
Thank you for this 🙏🏼
I will try it out.
Walking is my mental medicine…
Amen!
Same ❤
It truly is! If I have to skip my morning walk due to appts. Boy I better get it in the next day. Can feel my energy and mood flag.😊
It’s good that you have something to help you! Please don’t ever lose hope and reach out for the help you need because you matter 🤍 May God bless you and Jesus loves you dearly. And He died and rose for you to give you life, so you can turn to Him too and have hope in Him too. I hope this helps and hope you’re doing alright. I’m sorry if I’m coming off as too much by the way!
@@jelizabethpetrie6656hope you’re doing okay, just like with our other friend here. I want you to know that you are worthy. May God bless you and Jesus loves you
I lost everything I had & everyone I loved.... In and out of addiction and once I started walking/jogging, I noticed I became stronger than my depression and addiction. I still feel hopeless at times but my sadness doesn't consume me anymore ❤❤
Proud of you! You are better than your addiction. Don’t forget that. May God bless you, and He is there to help carry your burdens 💪
Come to Me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest
Matthew 11:28
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
1 John 4:9-10
Best medicine God gave us
That's wonderful. I'm sorry for your losses.
@@zodee31 im sorry friend. I just want to encourage to not give up in life and seek the help you can. And I’m here to let you know that this pain you’re going through is something you’re not experiencing alone. Please know you are loved and supported 🫶🫂 let me know if this helps. May God bless you and He loves you
For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16
God bless you, dear one. Will pray for you.
I get high from exercise… it’s the only thing that made it noticeably better while it passes. Also keeps you from feeling like you’re running out of time and falling short on tasks because you’re focusing on one goal in that moment in time. Makes you feel accomplished.
Yes.... TRUE....😊❤
Exercising helps my depression a lot, sometimes going to the gym gives me intense social anxiety and I need to just go for a walk or jog by myself. I love the outdoors because I feel it heals me in a way. I have ups and downs but exercising ultimately keeps me going every day.
My family and people ask me why I go to the gym and workout all the time. Its my therapy 🙂💪🏽
The three things that ACTUALLY helped me were getting direct sunlight as close to waking up as possible in my eyes, standing on earth while doing so (this is called grounding) honestly grounding is soooo amazing. Followed by a nice morning walk of any sort. It will start your days with much less depression. Also a bit of a cold shower is extremely helpful but not the easiest to do. Just blast cold for a bit at the end of your shower 👍
Cold shower helps a.lot
My psychologist prescribed me Prozac & Zoloft saying that they would help lift my spirits, but they did nothing & the side effects were disgusting. Walking my dog for an hour a day makes me feel so much better in body & mind than anti-depressants ever did
I’m glad that’s helped you out 🤍 dogs really can be amazing and therapeutic. I hope your day is going well :) and I just want to give some words of encouragement to you to look back to whenever it is. I hope you don’t mind :) and I want you to know that Jesus is always there for you and gives life through His death and resurrection for us, as you go to Him. He cares
The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and save those who are crushed in spirit
Psalm 34:18
@@goofygoober6213 Thank-you for the kind & heartfelt message. Not only do I not mind that you mentioned that Jesus cares I thank you for reminding me. Sometimes I get so focused on the external world that I don't take the time that I should to speak with the lord who sacrificed so much for me. I hope you're having a wonderful day too:)
@@carpathianken thank you so much! I’m happy it helps you!!!

Yes is waiting for us all with open arms. He gives us the hope and peace and confort that the world dose not know. Praise to Lord Jesus
I've got to get off this Lexapro as it's doing nothing for my anxiety anymore. It's only 10 mg a day. I'm going to try the Omega 3 fatty acids and walk like I'm late.😊
just was crying in my room. saw this and have been walking in circles for the past 9 minutes. thanks for giving me the motivation i needed.
just get out- take sunlight esp mornings, walk that time. think hopeful thoughts and make small goals u can achieve n turn them into hopeful thoughts when u accomplish them. make a few friends that are positive. get a pet or go see n touch pets at a pet store.
You are important. Read my comment above
Excercise really helps. My therapist says you have to sweat.
I just want to give you a virtual hug. Been there and over it and I pray that you will too ❤
Only God can cure your depression. Pray to Him. God bless you❤☦️
Exercising, listening to positive music, classical music like Beethoven 5th symphony, walking in the nature, trees, plants, lakes, the beach, petting a dog, activating the thymus gland.
Shortcut...420...sativa. 😊
listen to Qur'an in ts native language for relaxation.
Actually helpful. I've been recovering for a while now and while exercising might be scary at first it's very effective so I'd recommend it to anyone. Having contact with reality and staying away from social media has also improved my life.
I hope next year I can finally start university.
Good luck
You got this, I just started Uni with depression and anxiety and it has helped give me a purpose, I hope does for you too
My suggestion is if you have a few extra bucks, buy flowers or pick some from your yard . Hand them out to random strangers . Give cold bottles of water out to people working outside of it's really hot where you live. Many trucks have no AC. Many times little gestures of kindness to others does make you feel better if you are in a safe area. Many places are not safe to walk anymore.
Hypnosis can help. They have hypnosis for pain too. Tell yourself in the mirror that you matter. You are important. You are a great person. Tell yourself until you realize that you are. Don't let Anyone put you down. Get away from toxic people ASAP. When they put you down, they are trying to make themselves feel better. Hold your head high. ✌️
Excellent ideas!!!
Yeah also another good one is to talk to pensioners ,i have a few i talk to ,its good for them too and they always habe amazing insight and stories 😊
Yessss to everything 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Are you talking about strangers or people you know? Where I live people will think you're strange if you you randomly approach & give them wildflowers, just saying. Alot of people are weird just bc you're nice to them unless you know each other. (Yes, grown adults) 🤷🏽♀️
Buying flowers is nice if you can afford it. Essentials like food, meds & TP are great for people who are struggling - warm coats & socks in the Winter.
I went through a serious depression about 15 years ago, it lifted like a weight off my shoulders when I forced myself to go back to work, I will never forget it !!
How come?
I want to be able to do this. But a large part of what put me into the this depression im in currently, was the work stress.
this is so true. I'm just quit taking medicine for depression, after 2 years of treatment, therapy and learn to have a healthier life stile, I finally felt like my life matters again.
Dear reader ❤️
Wherever you are in your life
I want you to know that you're important,
that you matter, you make a difference in the world. Because you're there, even though I don't know you I know that my days are better because you're here with me on this earth.
Keep taking care of yourself because you're important to me.
Thank you! I love you!
Thank you, that was so kind of you.😊😊😊
Thank you 🙏🏼.
depression is a spirit that torments our minds i found God he gives me peace joy love contentment we all need a pill........the gospill amen
As a physiotherapist I can confirm that walking or moving your body through dance for 45 min will help you against depression. And of course the omega 3 help also muscle’s soreness and the range of motion.
What to do about huge panic attack please
What's your advice for someone who's seriously paranoid and because of it is in crippling depression?
Clue, there's a back story (trauma) for my paranoia.
What if your knees are bad and morbidly obese?
@CLee-hx8mx the obesity is contributing to bad knees. The weight has to go whether it is through walking or start slow with chair exercises.
Please can you tell me if someone never had a psycho before and the doctors give him anti psycho medicine because he was sometimes physical to others he was 18 years at that therapist time by the way he’s also mentally ill, but I see that he’s problem is getting worse now 😔
I go to the park and watch the birds and squirrels playing. It calms me to give my dog a big hug!
Walking is the best tool.
You’re the man. Im a family physician, I’ve been an internist in the hospital and an urgent care doc. There were 12 hour shifts where I’ve seen over 200 patients.
Now , I use your tools and philosophy and it is more effective than any other.
@AB-wf4gt
200 in 12 hrs would be each 1 patient gets you for 3 minutes. Come on..jacka$$.
@@lisahinton9682 I had 6 rooms and telemedicine. It’s 100% true. It doesn’t matter if you believe the truth or not, it still happened
I have bad depression but I fight to stay strong for my family it was so bad went into catatonic state its no joke and nothing to play with.
psychologist and 1 week group therapy called Hoffman process might help
1) God ...2) try to laugh daily...3) find your inner strenght...4) seperate your emotions and logic...5) eat healthy
Meditation and working out. I walk, do gentle yoga, and use a recumbent bike.
I love this so much! My dad was put on anti-depressants and yet they didn't help him AT ALL!!!
Getting enough sleep is number 1 for me. And getting outside everyday for a walk. Eating a healthy diet also has a huge impact on my mood.
I notice I get depressed when my environment isn’t right. And I don’t mean my environment isn’t perfect or whatever that looks like to me; I mean for example I might be in an abusive environment and that’s what is making me depressed. Doesn’t have to be serious abuse like physical, can be just verbal. If I’m in an environment where I lack control, autonomy and can’t be my true self; 100% I’ll be depressed and the longer I stay in it, the worst it will get. Honestly, now that I think about it, doesn’t even have to be the environment; if I’m not living my life being my honest self, I’ll get depressed…it’s almost like I feel oppressed, pushed down
Omega 3 really helped with my depression, but intensified my anxiety to an excruciating level multiple times a day. I then googled if that could even be the case. It seemed weird, but it was clearly happening and I hadn't changed anything else. Turns out, Omega 3 is, indeed, great for depression but horrendous for anxiety disorder.
This makes a lot of sense, because omega-3 seemed to make me feel worse also and I wondered if it was just in my head or what was wrong with me.
for anxiety check blood test for vit D, thyroid, iron, magnesium, glucose , cortisol and sex hormones. for women sex hormones should be taken on 3-5th day of a cycle
Something that has helped me start getting control back was taking care of an easy houseplant. It's not as demanding as a pet, so it will not die if you don't have energy to deal with it every single day. Still, it's taking responsibility for a living organism. It can also be very rewarding to see it grow and develop. There were also some studies claiming that gardening and "playing with dirt" can improve the chemicals in your brain to make you feel better. My first plant was an Epipremnum Aureum (Golden Pothos) that I still have 5 years later.
If you don't like plants, find some other small responsibility that's also very rewarding. You need something that will push you to get up from bed, but not cause you additional stress.
I've done this with a succulent. They take a lot of neglect to die. So far, it's still alive
I never thought I will have depression or anxiety but it’s started of when I had friends that didn’t know how I was feeling and made fun of me for my teeth and my smile and anything that I was insecure of but I hope one day someone shows kindness I feel like no one understands me.
I had my fifth grader come in from school and the two girls she thought was friends were making fun of her and I said what are you going to do and she said I think it's time I make new friends and she was in the fifth grade I was so proud of her
I feel the dame so l can understand your problem.nobody understands as l am feeling the same as you feel.
A preacher once told me the lord helps those who help themselves
Yup it comes and go, mine when it hits I can easy recover I fight it by thinking positive and do my daily prayer walk.
🥰♥️🥰 NURTURING MY INNER CHILD THROUGHOUT THE DAY (EVERYDAY) HAS HELPED ME IMMENSELY 🥰♥️🥰
Can you please give an example of what that might be? I can no longer think of any ways that might heal & treat my inner child 😢
Talk to your younger self with love and compassion
Thank you, Dr Amen. You are making a big difference in people’s lives.

Hope you been doing better:)

You're not alone in this world and I hope you found some good in today
@@tyome323 yes I did
Walking and rebounding to my favorite music helps me get out of funks! Taking my eyes and mind off myself and helping others is great as well.
I was forced to basically power walk over to the ups store to drop off packages in time today, got kind of lost, ended up walking half a mile. This is the first day in ages I’ve been content at night. The advice to walk 45 mins while you’re pretending you’re late is legit.
dear old soul, dont panic, slow down, think twice and receive a hug to the soul , btw enjoy music and keep on going because it all has a purpose to make you bounce in the safety layers of life, choose love
Vitamins! Don't forget vitamins. I was deficient in almost everything. Once I started supplementing, depression and anxiety was gone and had my life back. I make sure I'm never without those supplements: Vitamin B1, B9, B12, D3/K2, magnesium and Omega 3.
This is the exact combo I take and it is like magic!
What brand do you take? And how much per day?
@@TaxedToDeathLaw the majority are Now brand. Affordable, and I’ve seen a difference when I’m taking them, and when I start to forget, I see my mental health start to decline.
Can we take a multivitamin instead?
@BlowYourMindd yes except for Vit D. vit D has to be taken at least 1000 iu, which is neber the case in polivitamines
but if u have a chance, start fro. a nlood test for vitamins, minerals and hormones

Thank you Dr amen. I bought your books over 10 years ago. I'm glad to see you on here.
Love you, Dr. Amen. First introduced to your work in the late 1980s, I’m so glad to have found you again. ❤
Seriously I have been walking in the forest 5 days a week for 2 months .
It’s works wonders!
Also using guided meditation on CZcams .
It allows me time to release emotion.
I like reiki Racheal meditation on CZcams
Like Jim Carey said is that you need deep rest(depressed) with being your current avatar. Totally agree
And combining exercise and meds (for me) *chefs kiss
Yes! Thank you for sharing truth.

You guys keep my passion for exercise going. Hands down agree. 🙌🙌 Keep it going.
Love what you say. Doctor said try this antidepressant, not working, lets add another, same.
Psychiatrist said these antidepressants aren't working so lets try this, then try this and some CBT. Not working, so i gave up on pills.
I gave up on gyms.
I love to walk, bike, and climbing mountains, I've tried cold ocean water swimming.
This works.
What happens when you can't get up
Please help me
@@alexandrapalacios222start small and slowly start doing more and more.
did u do a blood test for vit D, thyroid, cortisol, magnesium, iron, sex hormones?
@Sky10811 that is done every year.
I take 3 to 4 thousand IU of d3 daily. I include magnesium supplements daily. Everything else is goog.
The one thing about this is I have depression. This is very accurate to me and my life. I really need this. Thank you. I don't know why it's always me. It's always me who gets to do the stuff for others. I'm the one who works the very hardest for friends and family. And always let them down. I never get support. Thank you for this. You are the reason my life is worth something. You're the one who gave me reasons to know that life is really worth it. My friends, and family, they never let me down. It's me who lets them down. Thank you. Because of you, I will always know that life is worth it. Thank you.
hire a psychologist if you can plus listen to this amazing book: "Complex PTSD from surviving to thriving "
Exercise. Listen to uplifting music/tv.. eat healthy foods.. sleep 7 hours a night minimum... Interact with people and or grow your social network
I can’t even get out of bed and your solution is to tell me to take a 45 minute walk everyday? 😂
Force yourself to do it and then when it’s done, go back to bed, even if you walk slow listen to some music or something eventually you will want to because it will make you feel better
I’m extremely weak, I’ve been diagnosed with ME/CFS! Which is controversial via mainstream but those of us dealing with it--it’s very real! So exercising can be difficult but more often than not I do! I do qigong for 6 minutes, rebounding for 6 minutes & walking for 12 minutes, but not one right after the other! I have to pace myself! I eat very healthy--yet I react to so many foods, I can’t eat that much! I only weigh 93 lbs. I also meditate & deep breathe daily! All of these things have helped-I felt like I had a handle on the situation, until! My mate of 52 years died 3 years ago, I was his caretaker for several years! I fell and broke my wrist and knee & I remained resilient! I really felt I had the key! Then my daughter became seriously ill with a strange disorder--but thank goodness she is thriving now partially because of Dr Amen! I am so very grateful she is!!! Still the experience was stressful . And it seems all of these events combined wore me down!!
I’m very weak my balance is off the majority of the time I use a cane to walk and I’ve developed Plasma cell mastitis on top of everything else! Plus I’m very depressed, still grateful for my blessing however tired and weary--I think I’m sharing simply because it helps to know others can empathize and understand! The good news is regardless of one’s situation, this existence is just a blink of an eye! We are all connected via love and it’s going to be OK! Hang in there-Much love to you all!
My case is simular as yours, my energy level is extremely low, I'm in pain when walking, I live alone. I don't see anyone for weeks at a time, unless I go to the corner store. Seriously. In the last 8 years I've lost all siblings. I call any one of my kids, g- kids, no response, should there be one its 2 or 3 days later. I'm in the poverty level of finance. So, I can't afford to pay for a functional doctor (it is out of pocket, of course), conventional doctors do nothing but throw pills at you. Most of us are onto THAT scheme, Big Pharma is involved. I can't clean house, just making my bed hurts me along with every part of living does. Massive depression. I pray for the Lord to kill me or heal me, plz. Missouri has clinical help to get assisted suicide I have found out, just in case this becomes my decision. They just hand you the meds to make it easier. They don't do it. I don't want that route but got the info to keep handy. I go to the doctor, I'm treated like a drug addict cuz I'm on pain meds yet they DON'T give me what I need just to EVEN FUNCTION. They're the ones that put me on them. Nothing.. I could go on and on. Yes, I'm depressed but it's the environment and ppl treating me like a Hypergondriac. I have mri's, all of it to prove otherwise. They cut my SS check. Discontinued my medicaid. No Snap benefits. Not really able to even get up and cook something healthy. Microwave food only. Bless the Lord I can do that. If I have to accomplish anything, I have to double up on my drugs. Not just the pain meds, other meds too. Like doctor appts, shop for anything. I gotta pay for everything that needs done. Cuz I can't do it myself anymore. Even little things. I'm done. Getting worse cuz I can't do it alone anymore cuz I'm certainly not at the top of my game in the fighting area and brain fog didn't help. Probably cuz the dentists don't fix it teeth without 100 appts. I got stories about them too. Frightening. So much more... wah.. I know "get over it" I'm told. Put on your big girl panties. On and on. I'm tired. This govt regime we have had made life so much harder to live for ppl. I fall through all the cracks for help. I'm sure I'm not the only one having these issues. What can you do? Nothing... everything is so far out of hand now, things is no fixing it. I've worked all my life raising my kids, at whatever I could do. Didn't matter if it was men's shirk or not. I worked, did NOT use girly ways to get others to do my work for me. I did have some character. But my kids wore decent clean clothes to school. They had a deadbeat dad of course. But that's life I suppose. No rewards here till I cross over. Not sure then. Lol!! I guess we'll see.
Start with baby steps and work up to the 45 minutes
@@victoriao1982 that's very easy for others to say. "just force yourself," as if their brain isn't doing everything in its power to conserve energy by forcing you to remain in bed.
The best thing for depression isn't forcing yourself out of bed, because if you're struggling with even doing that, imagine the shame. I know it sounds counterintuitive, however, exercise is the LONG TERM habitual cure for depression. Exercising every day takes mental momentum which you do not have to begin with.
For some, it's fibromyalgia, for others it's EDS. For some reason or another, chronic pain and fatigue can really make forcing yourself out of bed some days near damn impossible. Sometimes going for a walk means it will take me an extra half hour to coax myself out of bed the next day, and I only do it for coffee, hoping it'll give me back some energy. It doesn't. It never does.
The short term solutions to depression is, shock horror, rest. Rest, drink water and get at least one piece of fruit into you a day. Depressed means you need *deep-rest.* Your soul is broken, your mind is broken, and the best way to heal it isn't making yourself feel ashamed of being in pain and fatigued from trying to walk the day before, when you get up the next day.
Start small. Do not heap expectations onto yourself. Walk for 20 minutes, every other day, and be proud of going out even once in a week. Get two litres of water in, an apple first thing wakes you up better than coffee, and on the mental sides of things, figure out what or who in your environment is toxic. Either remove it, or walk away from that person if you can. You cannot heal in the same environment that hurt you.
Also, real depression will humble you if you think it's as easy as "forcing yourself" to go for a walk. The exhaustion of going out and doing it once, especially for 45 minutes, is enough to convince a depressed brain, "this much movement is too much, I don't like it, it drains my limited energy. I cannot going to stick to this,". Okay, the reason why depressed people stay in bed and struggle to get up is because they have spent so much mental energy dealing with toxic people and patterns.
Rest first, hydrate, eat healthy, then go for a short walk, and build up to linger walks. The hard part of a habit is halved when you have an adjustment period.
what about when exercise makes you feel worse or when you're so wiped out you can't do much. I'm thinking maybe adrenal fatigue? or some kind of physical issue.
No, depression it's the reason your body feels that way. I recomand you to Watch Andrew Huberman very insegtful videos
Walking is best. If you can't walk much, build up your tolerance and opt for breathing exercises. If you have extreme fatigue it possible for an underlying health condition. Seek a good functional medicine doc.
@@DrKevinDThanks 🙏...I hope you are having a good time
Ive found that taking a good qality multivitamin and an omega 3 supplement helps lift depression related fatigue after a coulpe of weeks which helps when it comes to exercise. Also sometimes just saying your going to go walk/ do an activity for five minutes can help.you gain the momentum needed to go longer.
Do what you can better than nothing ❤
Sit up straight dear man
❤Walking is the best!

Ants, I heard you teach this at least a decade ago. It has always stuck with me. I've also passed this along to others. ❤
Least toxic, most effective options for depression. Excellent advice on this video from Dr. AMEN.
I HAVE USED WALKING FOR YEARS TO RELIEVE, RELAX, RESTORE. It absolutely makes such a difference, plus helps clear out those negative thoughts.
Omega 3 is a total body antioxidant that contributes to brain, heart and joint health.
These are all excellent suggestions Dr. Amen has given.

What if someone's so depressed that she/he can't even leave the house...?

Do breathing exercises and pranayam while sitting
....or get off the couch?
@@janets7291If it were that easy I'm sure they would do that. No sarcasm necessary. If you can't control yourself enough to discuss serious topics, please don't comment. Thank you.
If you feel like you can't leave the house, try smaller tasks as goals. For example, maybe make it a goal to get out of bed every morning and floss your teeth.
What of you CANNOT physically walk ??? I do take omega 3 and eat salmon
Consider upper body/arm exercise in a seated position and breathing exercise.

How I love you Dr A!
I’m reading your books. Optimizing my brain. Doing everything I can and it seems to be a never ending struggle
I lost weight and hope and also have been thinking about killing myself sooner because im thinking that god does not love me...😅 (yes its deppresion) and i cant remember good and this is because of school...😢 The parents get so highly mad when you get a c or maybe d and then instead of an A or A+ and that makes me sad...This had AND have happened to other children too even younger than me going through this...😢 And the school😡 Im mad at school because if you for example draw and you have fun the teachers get mad at you and even sometimes tells your parents and that makes you afraid to control your own body its like if your being told NOT to draw just sit and be quite and do nothing...This makes me cry and i blame everything on myself..🫠 I cant even enjoy anything when i want too and i lose hope in humanity...😔 This all came from school😭 I just want to remember times when school was not a thing when i was under age 6😢 i would think that the world was a good place...❤ But i had wrong...The worst thing is that school is probably one of the most anti-happines becuase many killed themselved because of school😡😭🥲 Pls dont get affected of school you will be fine😭
try to get access to a psychologist
can someone get some help without $3,000 up front? I'm guessing there's more $$ in follow ups.

A haiku for you Dr
### Get up get out move
Start walking like you are late
Fire feet gotta go ###
HAIKU
Walking is when i sort my thoughts and my therapy for sure
Regular Sleep, eliminate alcohol, occupy your time constructively, be kind to yourself and others.
I walk every day, and climb 3 days a week. Climbing exercises the mind as well as the body, and it is a great social activity.
I struggled with depression most of my life since I was a teen and it was dark and pretty much horrible. Once I got therapy where we discussed sexual trauma for some reason it went away. I do not believe it to this day. I really don’t. I keep thinking that it will come back. It somehow doesn’t. I mean it waved at me from around the corner a couple of times - but it did not walk in. No medication. Nothing. But I would like to have deeper therapy to discuss trauma deeper - May be some day.
everyday I just feel nothing was fun, I don't know why, I just struggle for living everyday
brisk Walk every morning..with the morning sunshine..you will feel amazing
i have a good life but sometimes i dont having many people call me dumb at times for the dumb jokes i make and for some reason i always feel very sympathetic like too sympathetic and merciful and because i watch to many sad shows and listen to sad things my parents do talk about those 2 reasons are why im depressed and have very low self- esteem the internet seems like the only place i can properly express myself and haev fun without bieng called dumb
I got depressed for a while and I been crying today
I took up skateboarding at 46.....im 48 and.never been happier 😊
I learned that a cold plunge or cold shower lifts mood substantially.
I have generalized anxiety disorder and clinical depression I have nine autoimmune diseases and I find exercising and working out to help with the wonders of my mindset and physical. It really does help clear the brain and with the blood flow it increases endorphins
Yeah im gonna stick with my Prozac.
I appreciate this, thank you.
