    I love to walk when I am feeling depressed. This is going to sound crazy but eating a carrot or an apple just tp feel the crunchiness helps tpp. But the thing that has absolutely helped me the most, is telling ppl how I feel about what they did or said to me . I like to gret ti off my chest. Yes it is hard because they will be mad at you. Sometimes it doens't come off as graceful asw it should. But you know what? U feel better and can move on quickly. And I am also a huge advocate of counseling. as well.

    It would be fantastic if someone could tell me what to do right now. I just want to curl up in my bed with chips/chocolate/greasyburgers away from the rest of the world. But I can't do that anymore.

    How do you guys deal with depression?

    Right now - I have a whole of life approach to health and well-being. It includes regular intense exercise, wholefood plant-based diet, meditation, maintaining important relationships, good sleep routine, and an anti-depressant medication. It is simply brilliant, and its not only good for mental health but also my physical health as well.
    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
