@Meebee420

I have a coping box as well as practicing mindfulness techniques for grounding myself. I also take Paroxetine prescribed by my doctor smiley

What about you? heart

@Jem7Cups recently I've been dealing with depression and am unsure how to cope with it. Usually I draw, play video games or listen to music, but have been uninterested in these activities. I'm trying to find new ways to cope. I'm open to suggestions if you have any (:

Not very well most of the time. Sometimes I play music, other times I visit 7Cups. Both of those things help, ususally.

@Meebee420 Before group therapy, I would do self isolating techniques thinking that was helping me cope. I realize now that when I'm feeling down, I really need to reach up and out to make a connection with someone. I force myself to call someone and I force myself to think of one positive thing to share.
