Okay! I'm as chipper as they come but MAN last couple of months been rough. Below is a list of shyt to either avoid or embrace to ensure that u don't allow depression to fukk with you. Depression happens when shyt chemically and spiritually is out of wack for you, along with fukked up circumstances. But u can't let the Theys win. "They" being the evil fukkers that create worldwide circumstances to increase depression.
@DrX was not wrong when he was talking about seeing blks walking about depressed and zombie-like. But anyhoo, here's a couple of tips.
Here's My "fukk You" Depression Checklist.
1.) Get out of your head. At this time of year depression reigns. So does laziness. Daydreaming, and other mental activities have their place but there is NO substitute for being active. If the majority of your free time is spent in a dark room away from others, ur creating a breeding ground for depression. Get out and go volunteer. Take up a hobby, go work with children or animals or plants.
2.) Nutrition. We get sick in the winter NOT b/c of the cold but because of the lack of vitamin D. There are more overcast days, and we don't get as much sun. Take vitamin D supplements, drink peppermint and rooibos tea, get zinc and apple cider vinegar. Consider detoxing and going vegan for a week. You would be surprised at how much it helps and makes u more mentally alert. Our diet plays a KEY role in depression. Excess sugars promote addiction and undermine will power. Nutrition is one of the most important fighters in depression.
3.) Sex, Love, Social Interaction. I don't know what type of lifestyle you are living and it's not my place to judge. But the lifestyle some people are always trying to push these days as edgy or cool is slowly corroding their lives. I'm not really here to debate this. As human beings, we need to have a high amount of quality social interactions with others, and we need to have a high amount of quality sex and feel genuinely connected and loved by the people we fukking. Increasing the quality of your relationships with other human beings is a MUST. That means putting oneself out there, getting out of ur comfort zone, getting over anxieties, and also releasing the arrogance we adopted as a defense mechanism to avoid hurt.
4.) Can't let them win. I've dealt with depression before. But what keeps me going is some stuff that will take waaaaaaaaay too long to describe and probably wouldn't make sense anyway. Just suffice it to say just the knowledge that there are entities who WANT me to feel this way prompts me to a.) question why, b.) makes me resent them c.) ensures that I will live the BEST life until I die JUST to spite said corpeal and spiritual a$$holes. Literally, someone is going to have to put the bullet in me, b/c I don't give up.
Hope it helps. In the meantime, just know that nature is fukking with u right now. The cold, overcast weather, life situations, lack of vitamins and world bullshyt is a cocktail of existential fukkitude. It's easy to let it stack until u can't do anything. Just breathe, and then push forward. Also think of people who overcame impossible odds. Sometimes it helps to have faith in humanity restored b/c it really isn't all bad...but people want to to think that. It's all a worldwide culling plan. "Get em high, lonely, depressed, and they'll do our job for us."
Don't let em win!
