Have had a number of big life changing events recently and I realize I am going back to old behaviors. So sitting here trying to talk myself out of buying bags of jelly beans and Oreos. Of course eating Oreos means I'll at least be drinking some healthy milk! Suddenly I thought why not? It's a proven behavior to feel better. And feeling better sounds pretty good right now.

I have to watch what I eat because foods I eat can stabilize my moods or exaggerate them. A high protein low carb diet with small snacks or meals every 3-4 hours will over time reduce my swings. I also avoid alcohol and recreational drugs because those can really increase depression.
Other lifestyle changes that help me are doing yoga, exercises, mindfulness, calm music, and being active on Psych Central. Many people who are actively involved in Psych Central find it helps take them out of their own problems to develop empathy for others. And their problems though still there are more manageable. __________________ Super Moderator Community Support Team "Things Take Time" |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
