If you ever experience extreme depression or sadness for no apparent reason, please remember these things!
1. Not one person’s problems are any less valid than another’s. Your feelings are always valid, because while someone may have a harder life than you, for /you/, what you’re going through /is/ hard. Your feelings and emotions are always valid, no matter what anyone says.
2. Depression is a chemical imbalance in your brain which only medications can fix and then sometimes they don’t work. Mine didn’t. And when you get depressed you don’t have to have a reason for being depressed. You just are. And it’s crippling.
3. Do whatever makes you happy and comfortable, which may include any but is not limited to the following:
If you have a certain snack you just love, eat a small snack, but nothing too heavy.
Have something warm to drink like hot chocolate or a soothing cup of tea. Try to avoid caffeine.
Cover yourself in blankets and snuggle with your favorite stuffed animal(s).
Watch funny videos or just things that make you happy on Youtube. I just watched B1A4’s video for Baby Goodnight and I was smiling from ear to ear the whole time. Their happiness makes me happy.
Do whatever you can to just be comfortable.
4. If people are stressing you out, lock your door, despite any consequences. Just block them out, put on headphones and don’t listen to anyone if you can manage. Only go to people who can help you get through your depression, do not make contact with people who are causing your depression and stress to worsen. You need to help yourself sometimes, and not worry about other people.
5. I’ll repeat. Do what’s going to make /you/ happy or comfortable.
Remember, no matter what anyone else says when you’re in that spot, you are first priority. Take care of /you/ before you worry about anything or anyone else.
If you need a friend who will listen and/or help, I am always here to help you, I will always be available to talk. My inbox is /always/ open.
