Struggling with Depression: Seeking Help and Ideas

I usually draw and color and listen to music. Try to find something you normally enjoy doing may get you out of your depression. I hope this helps you. I'm here to talk if you need someone

Do you have any hobbies you like to do?

I have tried a multitude of meds. The one that helped me the most was Vibryd. It not only stabilized my moods, it untangled the ball of twine in my head. I could finally think clearly and my racing mind calmed down.

I truly appreciate you having the courage to be able to post about your depression, it's definitely something alot of folks struggle with alot, me included, and it's nice to be able to share and to learn how others do actually cope with it. I'm learning alot here myself.

Being in my 20s reshaping my phone helped-getting rid of social media and adding apps that encourage me to do stuff (finch, 10 min workout, meditation etc) really made it harder for me to get trapped in loops

I have been there before. My advice to that, is to accomplish something, it doesn't matter what it is, could be something big,or small, it really doesn't matter what it is, just accomplish it, and that will spark the motivation fire

What I've been doing is play a word game or color or sew. I find that focusing on something else for the time being calms me down and grounds me.

❤️🙏I can relate, and reaching out is the right thing to do! Help is already on the way...
