doing things that are good for me, like my yoga and meditation and teaching. and I have found this past year that when I am able to sleep longer hours, it immediately alters the attitude and energy I have when I wake up and for that day. Insomnia has been a big wall for me these past 2 years. Spending time with others that I feel a connection with and a comfort and safety with.
when you're depressed what makes you feel better:
- Thread starter netean
- Start date
Short term:
*Certain music which isn't too negative nor too upbeat (those can make me feel worse).
*Hanging out, at times, or just chatting.
*"adult videos* and *stuff...*
*A can of beer or two...(too much alcohol and I'm likely to feel worse though...).
*Sweets, snacks...junk food, or food I really like in general.
*Motivational videos.
*Funny videos
*Funny memes (the darker the humour, the better lol).
Longer-term:
*Being obsessed with a video game
*Being obsessed with a certain daydream
...pretty much just not being "here", I guess?
*Working on a project and coming far enough to think I'll actually finish something, gave some hope in the past.

Playing Skyrim , music, youtube, food , running. I wish I could magically live the rest of my days in Skyrim 
Well as for me, as long as I'll have a good laugh and become obsessed with something or like a mini project as Tana had mentioned, I get hyped up and feel like I have a purpose.
Going for long walks or hikes helps a lot, though sometimes mustering the motivation to get up and get out can be a challenge...once I get past that, though, I end up feeling a lot better.
Watching my hero George Carlin on YouTube always gives me a lift...his brilliant insights and his reminders that life is a cocked up, absurd circus help lessen the angst and keeps me grounded..
