I Have Mild Depression
A few years ago, I realized I was in the middle of a mini depression, stemming from issues I am still challenged by today. At that time, I pulled myself out of it by using journaling, yoga, vitamins, light therapy, and talking with a therapist.
It worked then, but now I am once again finding myself slowly withdrawing from my life. I am on autopilot. I am not necessarily sad all the time, just not as joyful as I usually am, with much of my creative energy gone. The glitter has faded...I am in a fog of sorts, with no motivation to do much of anything productive. That is not like me.
I am slowly taking steps again to naturally bring myself back to my true, sparkly self. I am managing, barely, with support from those closest to me. I started seeing a new therapist, so that's good. I continue to walk 3 miles in the fresh air, each day, which helps ground me. I am searching for positive podcasts and enlightening books. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Have you been through this and found certain things have really helped you? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I look forward to getting back to my fully fabulous self very soon! ✨
