I agree to these. Though I've never tried excersicing while depressed because when I'm in that mood, I have no motivation.

I like distracting myself with forms of art. Be it poems, coloring, drawing, or even just writing. It's something we can all control when we feel out of control.

Thank you for the suggestions Dream! These are lovely, and I love that you put exercise first! So many people in life (outside the internet) think this is something that comes after feeling better. I personally have found that exercise is a great way to jump start my mental health because I feel good about taking care of my physical health. It might not work for everyone, but like you said before it has been shown to be great for boosting people's moods!
