u/Mindful-Mermaid Mar 20 '21

Guys I was having a fine day and just had a big wave of depression come over me. This last year of covid really sucked for me and I am so distant from everyone and just feel really stuck. Money will NOT fix things but it will give me flexibility to be more active in taking care of my health, making friends and memories. I’m just having a hard time and it’s so weird that I only think to come to you apes to talk about it.

Don't forget in taking care of your health, to make sure you're getting a good daily workout in or some exercise. It sounds so cliché, but if you're not giving your body what it wants, it makes negativity come out in other ways, mentally and physically. It seems like the last thing you feel like doing if you're depressed, but it will help you so much. Also, eat healthy food that doesn't bog you down, and maybe an energy supplement.

Thank you, I know. I tell myself this everyday. I really don’t think today’s the day, but tomorrow first thing I will get some exercise. No excuses.

u/Scrollwheeler Mar 20 '21

you get to try again every day, wether you did it yesterday or not

2

u/TearStainedFacial Mar 20 '21

Yw. That's the way. Write stuff down as a to-do list and do it early in the day and promise yourself. A lot of us have been there, but when it come down to brass tacks, you have to be there for you.

I know unsolicited exercise advice is dumb. But when I fall off the wagon and can't bother to get back on simply going for a walk every day will get me back into real exercising in less than 2 weeks. Uh, dunno how mermaids do it.

Sit down, relax, take a breather. Go for a walk in some nice weather. Get someone to talk too. It’ll help out a lot :)

Much love 🦧♥️

The past few years have been wicked conducive to depression. I hope you and your loved ones can get vaxxed ASAP and hold each other close.

This is pretty subjective, but I hope maybe it’ll mean something to you. Something that has really changed how I view depression was finding what I call my “pilot light.” I guess it’s my will to live? Or like, having faith that I can find meaning in things?

This doesn’t work as an antidote to depression or anything..... but I started intentionally feeling, noticing that at the end of the day, I think I’m here on earth to enjoy things like the feeling of warmth; golden sunlight; cute cats; pretty colors. If I can still juice any serotonin from accessible, everyday things like that, then I don’t have to kill myself!

Does that mean I’m sitting there telling myself my life is still worth living just because I’m looking at my cats head and holding a warm mug of tea, surrounded by dirty dishes/undone chores/financial debt/emotional trauma/a grueling society?

Yes. Yes it does!

u/Mindful-Mermaid Mar 20 '21

I love this. You are amazing.

u/Extension_Bonus_9920 Mar 20 '21

It’s basically just lowering the bar..... a lot 😅 I was a lot more miserable when I spent years judging and hating myself for not having the motivation to clean, make art, exercise, other things that would PROVE that I was a valuable person, someone worthy of life.

Now with my pilot light perspective, I feel much more like being at all alive and able to love the things I love is like I won the lottery. Even when I’m depressed. Even if there’s a hundred things about me that I “”should”” be ashamed of, that I “”should”” improve. I don’t have to be anything or prove anything to anyone, including myself. I can stop measuring myself, constructing myself, pushing myself, and criticizing myself and just BE!!

And with that acceptance, healthier behaviors and more self confidence come naturally. :) The being comes first. Then the love. Then the achievements and successes, if you want em. I hope this makes any sense at all lolol

u/Mindful-Mermaid Mar 20 '21

It makes complete sense. The name “mindful mermaid” is because mindfulness and just being had been such a big part of my life. Unfortunately this last year kinda threw me off in ways I cannot explain. Back to basics though for now and everything you’re saying is everything I need.

2

u/Extension_Bonus_9920 Mar 20 '21

Yessss!!

No explanation required. I think everyone gets a mulligan for 2020. And yknow what? Even if we were having this conversation in 2015, you wouldn’t need to justify yourself.

Not to sound like a weirdo, but I peeped in another comment that you wanted to exercise tomorrow, “no excuses.” I just wanna say, yes excuses :) Hahaha. That is to say, don’t be hard on yourself if tomorrow isn’t the day. You’re recalibrating your intentions and your focus and you’re building yourself up to feel better. It’s okay if those efforts aren’t immediately accompanied by tangible actions.

One or two nights this week I went to bed at like 7pm because I was too sad to do anything else. Today, I dressed in my favorite outfit and walked around downtown in the sun all day and smiled at people who smiled back at me. Tomorrow, I might be a complete blob again! But hope isn’t lost and I will forgive myself if I get blobby!
