Feeling kinda down

@l33tgamer94 welcome to the 7cups Therapy Community. I am glad to meet you.

I am not sure what is normal for you, but you could compare how you feel now with how you felt in the best point in your life and see how those feelings are the same and are different. Each person is unique.

What I try to do is have part of my life built on taking care of myself including participating in 7 cups, exercising, doing household chores. I do enjoy getting outside the house but with Covid in the US spiking I feel I want to take precautions like masking.

Some people find they can get some of that good feeling by hanging out here in 7cups. Here are some options to consider.

If you want to try lifestyle changes in addition to seeking professional help, you might consider exercise, mindfulness, eating healthy moderate protein low carb diet, getting fresh air and either online or in real life social contatct.

I have been having this problem for more than a month now. I used to love silence and being alone. But now whenever things are silent i get depressed. I start craving company. I just want to talk to someone all the time. So I don't feel you are alone. I just feel like I'm going crazy if I'm left alone

But i really don't no how to deal with it.

But whenever I get depressed i write down my thoughts. It's hard to write when I'm depressed but i try to write. It helps me analyse my feelings and thoughts. It helps to put down my problems into words.

If you wanna talk message me
