When you're depressed what makes you feel better?

On the same note, at the moment, I listen to or sing United “Even When It Hurts” because it makes me feel better* to know there’s a Christian song not afraid to basically say, “I’m going through hell right now.”

*But not necessarily happier better, just relief better.

Typically, I’m not sure I can do much to make feel not depressed besides sleep it off.

Looking at Creeks, or specifically the flow of the water and how the light bounces of it as it runs over pebbles. But, honestly Creeks aren’t always readily available, so i make do with a glass of water with a few marbles and set in front of the sunniest part of whatever room I’m in. I know, sad substitute, but when you focus…. it’s kind of pretty with all the sun shining through…and that voice(if there is one) that encourages you to make choices you know are bad for you? Well, don’t be surprised if it gets smaller then is quite, it’s like the reverse of “calm before the storm” reaction. I recommend marbles made of German glass or crystal for an almost kaleidoscope effect👍

Music, time, & my life partner (not in that order.)
I am very blessed.

Exercise is my go to. Granted I am fairly fit, so it is less difficult. It works for me because being upset uses energy, and if you exercise your body you use up the energy. After a workout I don’t have any energy left to be sad. It is classic avoidance of emotions, so I have to be careful not to use it tons. Somethings you just gotta feel.
