Being active is a good coping mechanism to take your mind off things. Just try not to exert your energy till burn out.Cristina Chifane wrote: ↑03 Aug 2023, 06:06 I usually keep myself busy enough to keep depression at bay. Being active, reading, listening to music, dancing, or taking a walk are very good coping mechanisms.
If you feel depressed, what is your coping mechanism?

Sometimes ignorance is bliss but the problems you're ignoring would still be there waiting for you to address them.Varsha Porwal wrote: ↑05 Jul 2023, 13:43 I don’t think it is a healthy one, but my coping mechanism is to just avoid my problems and binge eat.

I like your approach, it reminds of the song 'Count Your Blessings' I find it very uplifting when I feel discouraged.Selena R Romero wrote: ↑16 Jul 2023, 04:38 I do different things when I notice I'm depressed or down. First I try to internally motivate myself by reminding myself of the good things I have in life, family, love and friendships. I also express myself better with art so I draw different works and come up with beautiful paintings. I also take walks at night; it's so therapeutic.

Music lightens the mood too. A cup of steaming honey-ginger tea helps me shift focus. The point is to stop dwelling in the situation that is causing me distress.
