Remedies to feeling drained and depressed

[blueangel]

Does anyone have any?

 

Here are mine:

 

reading Friendship with God by Neale Donald Walsh

doing pilates or yoga- some exercise that gives you a chance to reconnect with yourself

taking a walk

write a note to a friend or someone close or even to yourself about how you're doing

"talking" a walk? or taking a walk?

 

haaha

 

Best thing for me is to excersize, eat some good food, do some art.

I either jump speed rope out in my backyard or go to the gym and weightlift hard and heavy. It REALLY helps.

Oh man! I gotta fix that. I guess you could talk a walk...if you talk...only about a walk. Meh? I'll fix that

I like a long walk or flying kites by the bay with my friends.

Sometimes I peoplewatch at a cafe.

So we all agree (so far) exercise helps a lot?

 

I exercised yesterday and felt slightly cleansed, but lately, I've been feeling that I'd be more cleansed if I ate more fruits and vegetables and take up certain aspects of a vegetarian lifestyle. It's really healthy and fulfilling. Also, if my house was less cluttered, I could be more focused. And if the TV became long gone.

 

Also, not just a walk makes me feel good. A walk around nature, where you can notice the trees side by side and birds and other things, and sunlight. You really can find harmony from that. I'm lucky my neighborhood still has trees.

 

Perhaps a last thing would be getting lost in a new hobby, and most of all, finishing it. See a project through to its end. Or maybe simply a goal that you set.

 

Or just a change of surroudings and atmosphere in general can be helpful. As I was moping at home, I stayed depressed, but when I came to the public library-noticed people around me and brighter lighting, I felt a little more like myself and realized I just needed to get out. It happens.

I would love to fly a kite and peoplewatch. A person who does that would seem to me someone who isn't afraid to relax and isn't self conscious of other people. I guess it would also help being surrounded by friends. I would like to find something comforting like that.

Walking is FANTASTIC. I also enjoy pilates 3 times a week.

Sometimes just sitting in the park and watching the people walk by can be good too... just a chance to gather your thoughts.

i like to cycle once in a while, it helps get the heart going and you get some exercise from that as well. especially when going downhill, and you just coast with the air blowing in your face, it just feels really liberating.
