Depression has been kicking my ass for the last 3 weeks. I went to a party today trying to socialize. I was in a big crowd but couldn’t help it but feel lonely and depressed. The voices started up on attacking me. I feel so alone. Makes it hard when all I want to do is drink and forget about my sobriety. The voices tell me to screw it and drink. The thoughts just get darker. This really hurts.
How do y’all battle depression?
Just take it one day at a time. Try to look for at least one good thing everyday even if you think it’s stupid or small.
I think that exercising helps, my father died 1.5 months ago and I felt depressed but I think that I have managed to go over this depression phase, I like to be outdoors and ride my bicycle, exercising really helps and every morning is a new beginning. I do not go to bars or restaurants and I never go to any parties, my life is full of routines, I think you can counter this current depression too, just do not follow if these voices give you ‘bad instructions’.
It could be the crappy winter weather. I feel depressed too
