Looking for Distractions and Hobbies to Cope with Grief and Depression

💕

I'd recommend reading books, especially fantasy books, or activities you can do from your window (or backyard if you have a house) like birdwatching, identifying flora / fauna, or gardening. For birdwatching and identifying flora and fauna, you can also contribute to biodiversity studies in your area and make some money on the side. Something else that might help is doing something active, like using a treadmill or taking dance classes on an app on your phone. Because exercising releases endorphins, or the feel-good neurotransmitters of your body, you can start to feel better really quickly. In addition, it can help prevent future physical problems resulting from depression because you're not just sitting in one spot all day. With some exercise apps, you can also create a routine where you do A,B,C on Mondays, D,E,F on Tuesdays, etcetera so you have a better track of time. I can recommend some apps if you want to message me privately. One more side note before I go - I'm so sorry about the recent death in your family. It's tough getting through that. That being said, don't give up. You've got this. There are people on the internet who are ready to cheer you on, even if they don't know it yet. ❤️

Any art. If you can't write apart of the book maybe do a short side story or something. But I have a lot of ideas. If you wanna message me I can share them.
