I've noticed a trend when I start feeling depressed. It's usually always around when I'm about to start my period, I get so sad, down, and emotional over the dumbest things. I kinda just let it run its course and then once my period starts I feel so much better.

That’s a interesting one
Feel like I cheated in the game of life, it was something that came to me and got me fixed
Before that even tho if I’m totally fucked I still have someone force me to have daily routine
Was everything haven’t been bad at all or did I forgot everything?

I try to do some medidation, and try to find out what is bothering me. What are my goals, what are things I failed at or could do better at/ how can i improve those for myself.
I love writing lists, they help me unwind my brain, and it feels less cluttered

I also do more self care, whatever that may be, baths, walks, reading, singing, etc :qn:

I'll watch an old favorite from my childhood, The Labyrinth or Neverending Story or suchlike, although sometimes that makes me sad for the lost wishes of my youth that will never now come true...

Eating comfort food is a big deal for me. Listening to calming music, cuddling my dog and venting to my friends helps me a lot.

Well, I'm not skinny either.
But so far, I feel more comfortable giving my body some comfort when being in survival mode than worrying about my weight.

Oh I agree, it's just a bummer because my chub leads to more depression sometimes, so it's a terrible cycle. :mcsweat:

Distracting myself constantly with things I enjoy. Maybe a little rhodiola. mushrooms, and bacopa from time to time. Pets and plants so I can watch them and feel better.
