Wow, was that book published? It seems you can relate the character of Addison in this book; she do journaling. And wow, motivated you to help others as a career, how amazing it is, Catalina! Your techniques were surely effective to lighten the mood. But I haven't tried the technique of dancing, and deep breathing. I tried meditation but I'm not good on it.Catalina Isabel wrote: ↑04 Jul 2023, 04:04 I have gone through a difficult time when I was younger and I "dealt" with it by writing a whole book about my life as a sort of therapy. Every good and bad thing until the age of 23. This helped me heal and understand myself better, and I moved forward and also started helping others as a career. I have so many techniques to help myself; reading, writing, dancing, fresh air, quality time with people that uplift me. I also love doing meditation and deep breathing if I ever feel stressed.

I feel you, Nancy about being unsociable. It hit home to me when Simon Sinek says that introverts bring five coins, and after minutes or hours of socializing, it is all consumed. It's unlike extroverts that it multiplies.Nancy004 wrote: ↑04 Jul 2023, 07:31 When I feel down, I usually prefer being alone. I do some breathing exercises, listen to self-help podcasts, and spend time reading in my room. I don't usually go out or make plans with anyone because I need that alone time to recharge before facing the world again. I'm someone who gets drained by social interactions, so when I'm feeling depressed, it's even harder for me to be social. That's why I give myself the space and time to heal by being alone.
Nature is my escape when I feel burdened or stressed. And I'm always alone doing that. I just walked uphill to recharge.

I like this one. I also go to walk alone and talk to myself loudly and ask myself the reason for my depressing state and how I only will be able to overcome it. Addiction to it I also like to listen to music and watch any entertaining show or something which will refresh my mood to a better state.Diana Lowery wrote: ↑04 Jul 2023, 13:32 Ok, don't judge me until you have tried it, but here is my stress remedy. I go into the woods behind my house and scream as loud as I can until I am almost hoarse. I wouldn't advise this if you have any close neighbors.

I agree with listening to music, but watching comic videos is not suited for me. Alright, talking to close people or family members are indeed vey helpful.Prince Oyedeji Oyeleke Jayeola wrote: ↑04 Jul 2023, 21:49 When I feel depressed or down my coping mechanism is listening to music, watching comic videos and talking with people close to me.
