Disclaimer: there's no one way to cope with depression, exercise is not necessarily better than medication (I spoke wrong lol didnt mean to say it like that) and and just an exaggeration on the self injury part: Self injury is "any form of hurting your body INTENTIONALLY" ehhh i guess suicide would be self-injury just extreme.. i'm doing disclaimers cuz I dont feel like redoing the video AGAIN lol
Hey so this vlog is how to cope with depression video. There is no one way to cope and no cure. You can’t just say “Oh Im gonna be happy today yay no more depression” I had someone tell me that once and it got me mad. Everyone has their own preference, theres therapy, medication, hobbies, exercise, pretty much anything you can think of that is enjoyable and not harmful. I take medication once a day, I don’t see it as a big to-do, I take it at night, no one really knows I take it. Medication isn’t necessary but very helpful. Exercise is a proven equivalent to an anti-depressant, exercise 45 min about 4 days a week (I think this is what my therapist said). Its more homeopathic. One of my ways is to cross stitch. (in the video I am ranting about how I do cross-stitching and how I messed up the counted one…. ) Something else I have done, to avoid self-injury, which is somewhat common. Self-injury is like cutting, burning, etc. .. Any form of intentionally hurting your body. You just fold the paper, either diagnonally OR horizontally (not a mix of both), then you take scissors (childproof-scissors are a great idea), and you just cut in any random pattern, you don’t have to go in any particular direction, don’t cut the folds. I found this helps get out the urge, because you just took your urge to hurt yourself and turned it into a pretty little snowflake. Running out of time, Peace out for now =]
