7 Things to Help Ease Depression
- Get out now and walk fifteen minutes. It will get your feet moving and help you feel you are at least able to do something.
- Go immediately and be with someone who loves you. It will give you the feeling that you are wanted.
- Religious? Say a prayer. Ask God to help you get through this.
- Think of a situation, a place where you were very happy. Visualize yourself in that situation once more.
- Power of suggestion can do wonders. Say to yourself, "I think I can get better. I have to take it step by step. I will work my way out of this."
- Go out and buy a plant, or some flowers. Having something living in your house makes you feel more alive.
- If possible, get outside in the sunshine. If it's not possible, turn on some bright lights. Sunshine and bright light are known to make people happier.
