Combating Depression
Friday, August 28th, 2009Well, bad stuff has happened, so here are some easy ways to combat the early onset of depression, in no particular order.
- Eat food.
Mainly I eat mandarins, red frogs, and chocolate. they all taste good, and I’m pretty sure contain anti-depressents in some manner or form (I know chocolate does anyway) - Have hugs.
Hugs are a great way to combat depression or sadness. They are comforting, and apparently cause some chemical to run through your body that says something like “It’s all alright” - Escapism.
Keep yourself occupied doing stuff. Mainly I read books or program. - Talk.
Let it out. Find a friend, and tell that person what’s wrong and generally complain about your life. Letting everything go helps you get over it, and the easiest way to let it go is to tell someone about it. It doesn’t have to be in person, an instant messaging service like MSN works, but it’s better if you know the person and see them around so that they can help you with the other ones.
Well, that was the list. And, I guess you could say that this list kinda fulfilled two of what it said. And I also happen to be eating tim tams currently, so that’s three. And someone was very nice to me and gave me a hug this morning, and let me talk about stuff earlier, and I have a book here, so hopefully I’m all set. Until I arrive at the funeral….
