anatoly Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 (edited) You can try doing the following: 1. Avoid substances - Alcohol, cigarettes, drugs etc. 2. Healthy nutrition - Limit processed goods. - Aim for 35g of fiber mainly from fruits and vegetables - Try to have 1.6g of protein per kg of bodyweight - Drink plenty of water. 3. Exercise - At least 2x/week resistance training that ideally train the major muscle groups (i.e. a hip hinge pattern, vertical/horizontal push, squats, vertical/horizontal pull). - Aim for 150 minutes of cardio a week (typical heart rate to aim for is around 120bpm for most adults OR a pace where you can comfortably hold a conversation with someone) 4. Social groups - Surround yourself with trustworthy people. 5. Sleep - Aim for 7-8 hours a day. The things listed above are already difficult to do, and depression makes it even more difficult especially the more severe the depression is. Even if you do all of the above, there is still no guarantee that you will be free from depression. But there's no doubt it will help. These are health promoting lifestyle changes you should make (if you care about your health) because it greatly reduces the risk of just about every illness. Take note, I said it reduces the risk of illness (i.e. lower probability), I didn't say it prevents illness. If all else fails, seek help from a medical professional. And for believers and non-believers alike, offer your difficulties to God and trust that He is always there for you. Edited July 30, 2023 by anatoly Quote Link to comment

BlackDiamond Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 1. Accept that there are things we can't control, and that some things are meant to happen the way they did.. 2. @anatoly gave a very detailed response to the things we can control.. Quote Link to comment

Blxst Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 The simplest, but not necessarily easiest, move is to improve your overall health. Research has shown that losing weight and regular exercise helps manage depressive symptoms. Meditation. Depression can feel like being lost, meditation can anchor and center your thoughts and emotions. De-stressing. Often, depression arises out of regularly experienced stress. Taking your mind off the stressful activity can help pull you back from depression. Talk therapy. Talk to someone that is a good listener that responds calmly and patiently. Take them out to lunch or a light activity in exchange. In talking, you might find the perspective you need to manage your depressive symptoms. In therapy, patients often find the answers themselves while the psychiatrist asks questions or responds in a way that lets the patient explore their feelings. Professional help. Sometimes it takes special knowledge to help us out with depression. Sometimes it takes a medical prescription. Quote Link to comment
Mehdi Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Great advise guys. I'll try some of them. As for me, I like to cook and do household chores, its therapeutic for me. I'm working overseas living solo in a flat, don't socialize much in person as my stress and depression come from people. When depression strikes, I stay calm and toughen it out. Quote Link to comment
