I may have ask this before but im not too sure.
So it leems i wont be able to get into theripy anytime soon for some dumb reasons and also some family members problems have to be taken care of first like surgerys and whatnot.
I have depression pretty badly which kinda runs in the modern age like a plague and im not sure what to do with it, im not even sure what to do now or in the future. i feel very lost and stuck while being in some sort of werid loop. it dosent help how i have autism which also stinks. it feels like i always want things instanly or my interest changes every day, which is prety annoying and im limited in many ways.
what can i do to help with depression and life?..
Exercise sounds like it won’t work, but it sometimes does
Try putting on music and moving around to it. Walking, dancing, since you have autism stimming. Works best with faster beats.
Go sit somewhere noisy and colorful like a busy mall or grocery store. It distracts you from the depression for a bit, and helps if understimulation is contributing to the depression.
Find something cool to look really closely at, think about how it works. Being deeply interested in something (irl, not online) can help for a little bit
I’m on a break from therapy for a while and I find meditation and journaling to be very helpful.
Write the sad thoughts to get them out of your head. Turn the page and write about a happy memory that is special to you. Write about the people in your life who are close to you and what you like about them.
I listen to podcasts that focus on good mental health and that also have a guided meditation at the end.
