*Sunshine. Try to go sit out on your porch or take a walk. The nutrients we get from the sun actually helps combat depression.
*Water. Make sure you are getting enough fluids into your system. If you (like me) don't like to drink water, then try getting those sugar free flavor packets to put into it. Your brain can't function properly if you're not giving it enough fluid.
*Eat. Not junk food, but real good for you food. Your body needs the nutrients to work properly.
*Journal or Blog. Just start typing or writing. Don't even think about it, just let the words flow. It doesn't have to make sense. Even if you stop halfway through a sentence to start the next. It makes me feel better to get all those words and thoughts out of my head. I'm able to actually relax without them bouncing around in there.
I really hope you feel better soon.
Hugs,
JJ
