I found bodywork very helpful and grounding, and also anything that helps me to go back into my body and to feel physically alive..walking barefoot on the grass or on the sand, being outdoors in general and getting a lot of sunlight..all these things take me out of my head and ground me..Every time I do it, the dark feelings don't have control over me and that feels good.
I think, if we want some healing to take place, we have to find some activities that facilitate it. It may feel like a little push and it's the last thing we want to do when we are in the dark place, but that push is necessary for the healing process even to get started. The conditions have to be created for our mind-body system to heal itself naturally, and that requires some intentional actions on our part.
Just talking to somebody, whether it's a therapist or anyone else, wasn't helpful to me. I tried many different things outside of therapy and they helped me much more.

T and I are trying to find a way to release the pain. She has suggested art and writing, too.
I identify, also, with being in my head a lot. I like all the things you mention. It's winter here, now. Being around my young grandson helps. Sunday it was French toast, sledding, movies and popcorn.
Yes, it does feel like I need a little push- and you are right, most times when I am in depression, moving is the last thing I want to do.
Thank you.
