Depressed people!!! How do you get yourself??

Question

To relax and just stop thinking about things?

I'm talking too the people that have constant thoughts and dealing with negativity so bad that they can't sleep.

I need major tips, I'm starting to feel like I need a break from myself.

Answer

Write it all out. Vent in a journal.

Answer

Is it negitive thoughts of bad things that are going on or of what COULD happen?  Like repeative negitive thoughts.

Answer

Oh crap! I read your initial question wrong! I'm so sorry 😕 talk it out, write it out. I've found finding someone in the same position as you and trying to help them helps as well. It helps you get the focus off of yourself and onto others and in the meantime you're helping yourself.

Answer

One of my biggest things is running. I run 5 days a week, upwards of 10km (6.3mi). Its how I shut off everything. I listen to music and just go. Its like being on autopilot. Yoga is a big helper for me too.

Answer

Journaling or writing - once I write my feelings down they seem much more manageable.

Exercise - as I see my body getting stronger and more capable it reaffirms that small efforts add up

Take a class - learning new things keeps me excited and engaged with life and gets me outside of my own head.

Anti-depressants - I used to be against these because I was forced to take large doses of  them as a teen after my father suddenly died, but now that I'm an adult in control of my life I found a doctor that listens to me and I'm on a low dose which takes the edge off enough so I don't get suicidal but doesn't make me so hyped that my personality completely changes. (Which is what I HATED about taking pills as a teen.)

All of these things add up to make me feel productive and like what I do matters.

Hope that helps!

Answer

Also when I've written in my journal and I still can't get out of my head and go for a walk or a run and put my earphones in! I listen to happy music lol and just take in what's around me and forget about the world for 30 minutes!

Answer

I have a journal and have wrote in it since 2006! It started as something I wanted as a kid but as I got older (and was diagnosed with depression my fresh. year of college) it became an outlet for me. I put all my thoughts and crap that's going on into my journal and then I forget about it! I get it all out and leave it! That helps so much for me! Another thing that helps is having someone who knows what you're going through to talk to! That was an even bigger help for me!
