These are the things that I do

I pray to God - when I feel sad or when negative thoughts come to my mind but I can't share to anyone, I am just praying

I exercise 15-30 mins a day or until I can- Exercising helps improve our mood, it reduces stress and anxiety plus it makes us healthier

I go out and have some walk or do a shopping - I love to see nature.. sonetimes I go to parks and sometimes to mall, I love buying clothes

I keep myself busy by doing what I should do and what I love to do -I do my chores, I cook delicious meal for my family (parents and siblings), I find time to help others (helping people in whatever way I can makes me feel happy), I also listen to music

I chat with friends or with people (online or real) -Talking to someone especially those people that you trust helps a lot but online chatting is unhealthy (just sitting infront of a computer eh) so learn to balance

Have enough rest and sleep

Redirecting your thoughts can also help- when you start thinking negative, learn to redirect it by thinking nice things.. accomplishments or nice things that you did


( Find your passion Sis.. know what you want and be happy.. always remember that your happiness is the most important.. do what makes you happy and not what makes other people happy)

God bless you and hugs!

First of all, there is a big differences being sad and have a depression. Having a period of sadness is often more good than bad. Nietzsche once said "That which does not kill you makes you stronger". That is one of my favorite quotes. And it's certainly true. Without periods in life being sad and "Blue", it's difficult to really praise the good times. Don't you agree?

But being depressive is quite different. And in severe causes it can kill you. When you stop seeing friends, stop have interest in anything and start thinking about quitting your life, then you must contact a doctor!

Good therapy and the right medicine will help many.

My self have a mood disorder and I used to really struggle in life. I've lost a few girlfriends because of that. It was difficult for them when I got in those depressive modes. Therapy didn't really helped either. In my case it had nothing to do with not coping with life. It was a chemical imbalance in my brain. Today the right medicine really helps and I can for sure say that my life is better than ever. No more mood swings and depressive periods. Just the normal ups and downs we all have.

Still, an active life helps a lot too. Workouts five to seven times a week really makes a difference.
