I want to start by saying how much I appreciate your trust in trying to look for solutions that are personal and I want you to know that you’re not alone in this. Depression can feel overwhelming, but with the right steps, support, and self-care, it’s something you can overcome. I believe in you, and I’m here to help in any way I can.
Below is a list of things to do and avoid. Take these suggestions seriously and commit to them as best as you can. You’ll be amazed at how quickly you start noticing positive changes in your life.
Things to Avoid
- Excessive Masturbation: This can sometimes lead to feelings of guilt or low energy. Balance and mindfulness are key.
- Drinking Fluoridated Tap Water: Some believe that avoiding fluoridated water can be beneficial. Opt for filtered or mineral water.
- Unhealthy Diet: Eating nutrient-poor, processed foods can worsen your mood. Aim for a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals.
- Neglecting Yourself: Spending all your time on others while ignoring your own needs can leave you emotionally drained.
Things to Do
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of clean water daily to keep your body and mind functioning optimally.
- Declutter Your Space: A clean environment can promote a sense of calm and mental clarity.
- Prioritize Hygiene: Regular showers and grooming can make you feel refreshed and more confident.
- Vitamin D Intake: Sun exposure or supplements can alleviate symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD), which is common in winter.
- Nutritional Support: Incorporate a high-quality multivitamin and whole-food-based supplements into your diet. Lack of nutrients can affect your mood and energy levels.
