Depression Sucks!

in depression •  7 years ago  (edited)

From my person experience my depression was slightly alleviated once I stopped reading the news, and checking certain social media sites. I think they create too much anxiety, and if you haven't I would look into that.

Wishing you the best.

Yeah I often read a lot of news or whatever. I read 4 articles this morning as a matter of fact. But thanks!

I think of it like waking up on the right side of the bed - when I wake up and the first thing I am thinking about is the news - my mind is gone - when I wake and take to breath and focus - I much more grounded. Most news is negative "if it it bleeds it leads" so just be aware - what your consuming there can be very damaging to your daily perspective.

Try replacing it something grounding, I always try to eat oatmeal or think about what I'd like to do. I know I am being very direct, but I am reaping such postie results from reducing my exposure to the internet, and I just wish I knew that sooner.

Good luck :) hope you feel better whatever path you take!
