I'm glad to hear that you're moving on and looking for the positives in your life.
You mentioned that you took a walk to the lake and that this helped. It's wonderful that you took action and decided to get some exercise. Definitely, being out in nature and breaking a sweat can make all the difference.
Are you planning on making this trek to the lake a regular occurrence? If not, what other forms of exercise would you consider trying?
I guess I am posting to myself again..They say self talk and self care is good for the soul so here I go..
It was a warm and sunny morning in the 60's today so I decided to pick myself up by the bootstraps and with my partner went to take my walk at the lake today..I read a article today when I got back about how exercise helps depression and anxiety and especially in a green environment, meaning outdoors..It is also supposed to lower your blood pressure and help prevent and help heart disease..This article stated that according to the research data that even 5 min. preferably 15 min. of exercise had been show to help improve a persons mood and improve a persons cardiovascular system.. This must be true because I felt like a weight had been lifted while I was out there today and that feeling has continued through out the day. I sit here and type this update about my journey..More like a journal really...and I am at peace...
Writing about this really feels good, so maybe I will start a personal journal on my laptop about my journey!!!
I am one of those people that suffers from depression during the holidays and dread it every year..I belong to the sister site the panic center and there is a thread titled Vacuum felt after Christmas..This was really hard for me to relate to because I really feel no sadness because the holidays are over. I start feeling a vacuum as the holidays approach a deep sadness and later a disappointment and loneness for what it was and now is.
I am still here and alive I think which is a good thing. I am starting to pick myself by the bootstraps again and am looking for and at the positives in my life..I am looking forward to putting the holidays behind me and moving on with then new year.
They say fake it until you make it..This must be true because it has worked for me so far. I will recover and get better again like I always do..
