first of all, great thread! I am with a few of you on different levels. I suffer from minor depression as well. There was some excellent advice here and i would just like to expand a little.
First of all like sedate said, physical activities bring up endorphin levels. Drinking lots of water while working keeps me from getting tired or demotivated as well. And make sure when you get up to eat some protein. Oh yeah, hold off on that bowl till after breakfast too...
Those are just some holistic remedies. I would also encourage you to stay on top of your garden, at all costs. Like Akasia said, and I agree.. when things start going to shit its a real downer and that just makes you want to give up... Here is the answer. DONT. Get er done homie. Stay up for 3 days until your room is clean, plants are spotless and got a nice haircut.. they will be happy and so will you.. and more motivated too! I have to do this occasionally, but you know, thats the price we pay for our line of work.
And like seamaiden, I have a daughter that is with me full time and I am a single dad. Things are tough. I dont have time to get depressed or fall behind because if I do, there is no telling when I will be able to play catch up. Stay on top of your shit man...
edit: If you drink alcohol, quit. It is no good. Someone that I look up to (Swerve) inspired me to quit drinking and since I have I have been a much better person and grower. Thanks bro.
To tell you the truth I have had some pretty bad depression since the latest big news hit the farm. I hope things start getting a little more cheery around here. Because this is a chill spot.. But things are tough all over.. and we can't change things just accept them. Or can we?
