How do you all get out of a depression funk?

My husband is struggling

It can be hard to do, but you have to decide that you want to no longer reside in it. Decide you’ve had enough of [i]this [/i]and want something more for yourself in the moment. Just making that decision can be enough to start the transition needed. After that you draw yourself to the things and people you love being a part of you to help keep you from slipping backwards.

@PerfectionOfTheHeart thank you ❤️ I just want him to be ok

@Rosiechick13 Your care is doing wonders for him. I read in the comments that you’re currently fighting a battle yourself so try to focus on your own healing knowing that you’re helping him by simply being there for him. Both of you, take care 💞

Sometimes it takes an antidepressant
I personally just let it pass or take some acid (it helps me sort through my issues since I don’t have a therapist).

For me, it’s feeling loved and appreciated. My love language is physical touch so body to body affection helps. Additionally, a walk in the woods and doing something that I enjoy and occupies my mind seems to work.

Some times I have to rely on medication. Others I just need 2-3 days of being in a funk and I snap out of it.

I hope he gets back to normal soon.

The fact that he has you in his life he is already very fortunate. How to get out I have no idea. But you gotta be there for him, you gotta be there to cheer him up, make him laugh and support his thoughts and feelings. Many of us don't have a significant other. Many of us don't even have loved ones or friends. I would start with engaging him, keep him and his mind busy, free of everything that depresses him.

Tough one. Can't do it for someone. Fir me it's just doing something.. anything.. thinking is the source and sorrow have to cut yourself off from the source and get your mind working out other problems.. music.. movies.. Hobbie.. cleaning.. talking with friends.. fishing.. whatever.. just you have to identify the source.. the enemy.. the enemy is thinking about stuff.
