On and Off Mild Depression
Hi,
I have mild depression that comes and goes. I have sought professional help, but no one really helped with it, so I stopped looking. Even though it's mild, it's still there to weigh me down.
I know God is there for me as I talk to Him, but it does feel good to publically share this anonymously.
I would like to know how others cope with their depression.
Hi Friend, I deal with my depression by talking to my crush or listening to some music that makes me feel upbeat.
@Asherwolfice
Good idea! What kind of music do you listen to?
I cope with my depression by watching tv series, mostly Star Trek. It helped me a lot during the worst times, it keeps my mind busy and makes me fell better
@raspberryAlien
That's a good idea about keeping your mind busy by watching something. I tried it and watched The Christmas Orange (eventhough it's no longer Christmas, lol), and it does help me feel better :-)
I mostly deal with my depression by watching series, reading about mental health blogs (it just soothes me and makes me feel validated for having it since people around me don’t understand the struggle I’m facing). Also i try to exercise (maybe just 2 sit ups a day or something like that when i’m not really in the mood, but it helps me feel i’ve achieved something) and mostly i write. I write all my thoughts, full of cursing and judgements but after that i feel a lot better. Because i just can’t stand people talking back at me when i’m trying to tell how i feel sometimes i just want to be listened to without getting nagged at or judged

Yeah, my family doesn't understand depression, but not everyone does anyways. Does reading blogs about it help you understand it better?
I can see how it is soothing to read about how others go through it and to know that you're not alone :-)
