New years depression🎉🎉

Question

Hello everyone. I'm reaching out for a little bit of help. Every year with the holidays I start to feel very down and depressed. This year I'm already going through a burn out and on top I get this holiday depression. I honestly don't know what to do as I'm going crazy in these 4 walls. Tips are very welcome!

Reading books, drawing something, anything while listening to music, going out for a short walk. If I know any more, I'll certainly let you know.

Cover the basics - take high strength vit D (you can be deficient in winter and it causes low mood/energy); wash, brush teeth, feed yourself. Do low intensity activities like cleaning/organising your space. And do things basically to pass the time until you feel better

Karlem · Answer

It all depends on what takes your mind off things. Like taking a walk or watching a comfort film while sipping on a tea... I do recommend some kind of movement though, that usually helps me

Lily · Answer

The best thing I ever did for myself was make myself stop and smell every flower I can across. Any flowers near you? Literally makes you stop, be in the moment, and appreciate something simple and beautiful.

First of all, I want to give you a big hug 🫂❤️🌻
The only things that helps me is painting or drawing, hearing music with funny text or cheering Motivation Texts. Dancing. Dancing and singing. Reading silly jokes in the Internet. And when I have enough money, a little gift for myself ( a new pen or something I like)
Talking here with my 🦝🐰🐼🦄👑 Family helps me too. Heres always someone to talk to.

Nhoj · Answer

Sometimes it's the little things that count 😊

Chris · Answer

I find going on a walk helps sometimes. Maybe go and see a movie? I find if I distract myself it helps.

Nhoj · Answer

Good conversations about a variety of things could help

Eduard Ey · Answer

A pet helps, walks, trips anything that helps you feel better. You can just DM someone and talk with them any nonsense you want as long as they know not to expect more than that. While I don't encourage drinking, a little bit does help, as long as you don't go overboard.

Leilah · Answer

I feel you. I myself need some of that advise.
But for now I'm just trying to clear my mind, not think about anything bad that occurred in 2023 and have a good night to myself doing things I possibly like doing and definitely eating and drinking.
