Activities for Depression
Yesterday we talked about what kind of foods and drinks make you feel better when you're depressed.
Well today's topic I want to know some of your activities you do while you're in a depressed state.
Now don't get me wrong, when we're feeling depressed, 9 times out of 10 we're probably just gonna lay around or sleep. This is normal since we lack motivation to put forth effort when we're feeling down. But, what if I told you there are some activities you can do to keep your miND distracted and in control?
WELL, if you're looking for distractions.. You've come to the right place! If you know of any good activities to do I encourage you to post then here!
*WARNING* PLEASE DO NOT POST ANYTHING NEGATIVE. (SELF HARM, DRUGS, ETC. THIS IS A POSITIVE FORUM)
@BlueButterfly4 This is actually a really tough question for me to answer because like you said it's hard to do things when you're depressed. When I am able to do stuff I try my to force myself. I like looking at pictures of cats or watching funny YouTube. It's also fun for me to scrapbook. :)

Hry Blue :) Thank you for posting! I like your idea of scrapbooking, I've never tried it before though. You're actually the first person I've ever heard that idea from for depression! As you said, I think watching something funny is great too!

<3 Thank you, Star :) Do you have any activities you would like to share?
@BlueButterfly4
I usually like to listen to good music or take a stroll. Reading articles online helps too.
When i'm feeling down I look at my motivation board on Pinterest. It helps me to get up and do something :)
I'm pretty new to trying to focus on positive activies to do when I'm feeling worse than usual. Lately though I've found teaching myself how to do something new and simple can be good and distracting. I've been looking for new painting techniques to practice or things like different stretches in yoga. I also enjoy making a playlist with specific themes too (ie: all the titles have a specific word, they're all from a certain month, etc...)
