Depressed and need help

I coped with it from doing my favorite hobbies,driving ,going out ,creating,discovering,and eating food . Watching comedy shows and movies and stand up comedies u can do it ur life is precious and wonderful don't throw it away I know it feels being sucidal it took me 3 years to get out

 

I know depression can be hard and difficult to treat. On really difficult days I focus on something, anything that keeps me sane like my parents, or my dog or anything that gives me a bit of hope. I cleaned up my diet quite a bit as well, got rid of processed foods, learned how to cook and started buying more fresh fruits and veggies. I also increased my physical activity and started walking out doors more. I confided in friends who listened to me, and who hugged me when I needed someone. I tried a lot of things and found that these worked best for me.

I know that depression can cause a feeling of isolation and the thought of "who would want to listen to me or who would want to be my friend" but trust me when I say these aren't true. If you don't feel your friends would be willing to listen you can always go to a therapist who will listen.

EC is a great community as well so you are never alone. If you want you can private message me and I will be happy to listen .
