I realized I had clinical depression for a while when I didn’t feel sad but everything felt so meh. I’m doing fine now, though.
How did you get better?
I have no idea. It was probably a combination of a change in mindset and different lifestyle choices. I started exercising more often, eating healthier (lost 10 kg), pushing depressing thoughts out, and weeding out toxic people. I know this is probably not helpful and it’s what’s generally recommended but it worked for me this time. Who knows!
Im glad to hear that man, battling depression is no joke, specially on your own.

One of the terrible things about depression…that it makes it harder for you to do the very things that help reduce its effects like cook well, socialise, and exercise.
I know that my depression goes into remission sometimes, so I never know if I pulled myself out of it or if it just… Stopped
Do you have any outside help when pulling it off? Maybe SO, or family?
Yeah, I have good support from my family. They don’t get too involved, but I can count on them to listen. That’s definitely a factor I hadn’t considered.
