Hi. When my depression was at its worst, I decided to get a dog and he became my emotional support hero. Especially when I'm alone and my brain just doesn't stop thinking!! Good luck and take care.
A year ago I got a dog and he had become my emotional support animal, he senses when I'm feeling depressed or anxious and he will lay on me till it passes, you could also look into something that stimulates your brain with positive thoughts
Hi
im there with you but i havent relied on others after getting let down and hurt but the way i deal with it is to read. Escape into a world of something else and try to enjoy the quiet, Journal daily and maybe its childish but i enjoy gaming. i used to game all the time when i was younger and after ten years i started gaming again, the old school consoles, not too old school but the nintendo ds. I hope something can help you xx
Thank you for replying, well it was not a doctor, I refuse to take meds actually, I feel if I was around others I will not feel the way I am feeling. The person I talked to was someone that runs a program for people who deals with different things, the program is called COPE. I was suppose to start but because of the virus thing it was cancelled and I was looking forward to meeting others and now I feel I am back to where I started.
Thank you for your reply, Well, right now I do not have the patience for reading or knitting. I do watch movies, listen to music and I am always on my computer. I can not drive as I do not have my licence. I love to get out the house, I am a very outgoing person it is just I do not like to go out alone it makes me feel depressed when I'm out alone and watching others with someone there to talk with, have a good laugh, go get lunch or dinner etc.
