I have been a victim of depression for a brief period after my dad passed away...I used to just lock myself up and not talk to anybody for days...Stopped taking care of myself even...After living like that for an year or so, I started picking myself up in small ways like taking a shower first thing in the morning, waking up at 3AM in the morning and going out for a walk in the cold etc...One thing lead to another and before I knew, I started coming back to life...I wasn’t even aware that I was depressed at that time as I didn’t share it with anyone...My family also didn’t know about it as I was calling them regularly and speaking to them like nothing happened...Only later when I looked back at it, did I know how dangerously close I went to destroying myself then...So please guys, take care of yourself a lot...Look closely at yourself and also don’t disregard the little things like taking a quick shower, eating a nice dessert etc...You don’t have to socialize but try to be out there, even if it is in the dead of the night or early morning( of course make sure you are safe)....

This is excellent post. ❤️Much needed. Thank you ATC

Can I share my tips too? What I was taught by my therapist while I was going through a difficult time.

Maintaining a journal really helps. Write whatever you want to, any thoughts that are troubling.

Write the things that you are grateful for.

One feels much lighter after writing.

Do the things you love, watching movies, talking to a friend, spending time in nature, listening to music(no sad music though), singing etc whatever makes you feel better. Try to get out of the low vibration.

Do some exercises. Aerobics, yoga or dance.

Also look up Jacobson progressive relaxation technique. This helps in reducing anxiety.

The most important thing is to remember that if it becomes too much to handle on your own, never shy away from reaching out to a professional. Do not neglect mental health.

Whatever it is, one can always turn their life around.

Stay healthy, every one :)

Sleeping well at night, walking up early, meditating, drinking green tea, healthy diet, taking prescribed meds help too. Don't underestimate the little things.

Amazing post❤️

Thank you so much 🤗

All I want to say to him is that he did well. He did try and that's all that matters.
