Coping with depression part II

 

Another thing I do to cope is photography. I have two cameras, they were both gifts (well one was a gift, one was my Dad’s and he gave me it to mess around with). I love the sound of the shutter on the older camera and I love the big lens. (in the video I am just rambling about the camera)I like to just walk around the neighborhood to take pictures. Something else I love and am pretty much obsessed with is Sudoku. I love it! That’s about it. Some people bake (which I also do but just for fun… I love to make fondant) It’s a matter of experimenting with things you love to do, with depression things you used to enjoy you don’t really enjoy them anymore. Try doing things you used to love or new things to find things that help you personally. There are so many things that people can do to cope. Also, stay in touch with your friends. Don’t let depression ruin friendships. Letting your illness get the best of you will only lead to regret. Take control of your own life, realize that there’s hope, even if you can’t see it, you will see it eventually. Peace out

Coping with depression part I

Ways to cope with depression. Sorry for the pauses
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 =]

things i said in chat that i felt i should post

life will be what it is. Nice people get hurt and good people r killed. thats just how life works. its terrible, I hate it but i cant change it. i can change what i can and i will accept the things i cant

nothing happens if u simply want it or so "ok i am deciding to be happy today" depression is evil like that. its like love, u wont find it until u stop looking. what helped me get my depression under control was go, ok yeah this sucks but look that over there is wonderful

 find something u love and go to that whenever something bad happens or u feel depressed, for me I have my dad's 35 mm camera

i had a roomie last yr that told me depression doesnt exist and that everyone with depression can simply choose to be happy but that isnt true, i've tried... it doesnt help at all

oh random fact, deaf people can have auditory hallucinations and blind people can have visual hallucinations.. i kid u not... its awesomely fascinating

someone else said : adding in a fun fact, when you take a deep breath there is a nerve or something on top of your diaphragm, when it is pressed on by your lungs it sends a signal to your brain to release calming chemicals
