when you're depressed what makes you feel better:

[Freyja]

that's different from me I stay away from my phone but I stay on the computer as much as I can this site makes me feel better

The site also makes me feel better most of the time. I guess it's the most positive thing about being on my computer/phone

Being at work takes my mind off of things sometimes
But generally falling asleep and hopefully waking up in a better state of mind.

Reading a book.

optimism does wonders

So many people say those things to me. I don’t think they understand what I’m dealing with. Optimism doesn’t exist where I’m at

optimism can mean I can change my whole life around to i'm going to try and get up tomorrow and have a cup of coffee or anything in between. I simply meant you were optimistic in hoping to wake up in a better frame of mind no insult or presumption of knowing you intended sorry

I wasn’t insulted. Just talking. I thought you were telling me to be more optimistic. Some people seem to think you can just command yourself to be happy when your not. That advise is getting old. But I understand what you mean.

Remembering good times, good memories.

But I don't do it often, cause there is a very fine line between a good amount of memories to feel better and making yourself even more depressed.

Shortlist; This site(sometimes), alcohol/tobacco/music(until it backfires), cool animals(goats, elephants, armadillos, giant armadillos, aardvarks, food, sleep(sleep rocks. I wish I could just sleep until it's time to die, wake up, and then die), cool nightmares and dreams(related to sleep), this fly I'm looking at on my wall as I write this, talking to the deer in my yard, and uh, baby anteaters. Ok I'm gonna look more at the fly now...

Going for an evening walk.

 

[memyselfand1]

Ghosting those friends because they've pissed me off for too long
bunking groups
switching that phone off cos i feel like it
listening to music, watching YouTube and netflix and playing games
staying away from so-called self help therapies when you are desperate state or the you are feeling overwhelmed.

 

[absured angel]

I should do more of these things but

Reading
Drawing/colouring
Watching a good movie or show (usually a favorite know I'll like it movie or show otherwise I could get irritable about lack of interest in it)
My dogs for a walk
and sometimes the cat (when hes in a good mood and just sits and purrs)

 

[memyselfand1]

Staying away from Brexit and politics, all that bs is enough to change everyone’s mood so avoid at all costs

 

[Freyja]

Driving with my favourite music on.

 

[Freyja]

Chocolate, or eating, really

Today at work one of the customers dropped a plate and broke it, and I cracked myself up imagining running over to him and shouting "You BASTARD! That was my favorite dish! Get the fuck out of here!"
