What you do to improve your mood?

[Zegers]

I used to be slightly hope, thinking "things will get better" and in some way it is, have any more money than before when was broke but for about 4 years now I feel more empty, lonelier, anxious, than ever, years ago I used to get excited about travelling, meeting new people but now... it's like... I don't care.

Sometimes I think about reborn in a "top version" of me, fully healthy, well-built and happy, with a good family and an optimistic life but even with that... I dont feel like it.
This earth seems so... meaningless.

I had this void for some years before, but now it's in full force and i can't turn it off. Feels like hell. More i fight it more i sink and the worse it gets... depressed and struggled to get out of bed, feeling anxious most of day and disabled, I try to do small things to try to feel better.

- I went gym - got injured - now try to set up a mini-gym in my room
- I went therapy - taking antidepressants (since 2009)
- Trying to establish a diet
- Researching to improve mood and taking kratom to reduce loneliness
- Researching Psilocybin/cbd/adderall-similars for mood problems
- Looking to join volunteering
- Go out to take a walk sometimes

you feel that things are getting worse/better somehow?

good daily sleep schedule

I whine about my problems to anyone who'll hear them to such a degree that it makes them seem silly in the grand scheme of things.

Unfortunately that just makes my overall self esteem that much worse since knowing that my troubles are fairly trivial just causes me to internalize even more anger towards myself and want to kill him more.

Besides that, I also have video games, tv, and finding other useless distractions to trick me into thinking whatever has me upset has gone away.

Microdosing psilocybin (.225 grams typically) as a Stamets stack helped me the most. The stack is taking the microdose with vitamin B3 and Lion's Mane. I'm not a morning person, but I would wake up before sunrise, take my dose, drink coffee on my porch, and then take a walk as the sun came up. Then I observed my thoughts without judgment. That was some of the healthiest and happiest I've ever felt. I only recommend this for depression and PTSD. I don't know how psychadelics interact with diagnoses such as Bipolar and Schizophrenia. Best of luck.

Go out as much as I can, specially driving and then go for a coffee by the beach, I live nearby, the sun, vitamin D helps me a lot. Than a good etilismo série or documentaries. That's how I spend my days and also my bf thank god he is not here to put him in last place. You should try to leave the house even for just half an hour , if you don't have a car. iPod on with your fav music and a small walk.

I think in my case, nothing would ever make me feel better. I just try to pass the time, I get no enjoyment out of living, I am only still alive as suicide is so difficult, I just want to peacefully pass away. I see life as just being meaningless suffering, it is so pointless and unnecessary and I want nothing to do with living.

I take a lot of Xanax lately. When my shrunk finds he won't be happy. But all he gives to anxiety is anti convulsion meds. What is up with that??? Give me some bentos at least I'm able to keep calm, screw tge future and tge memory losses.

 

[WonderingSoul]

The usual. Video games, anime, and food. Sometimes walking, but I hate being near large bugs. A more recent habit is practicing my suicide attempt.

 

[Unicornsrnot4dislife]

Meds, being around my children and sketching. I find a love of drawing in lockdown, the only thing lockdown done that was positive

I have a tough time with the difficulty in social relations... loneliness is definitely, not for me. I would like to meet people, interact, go out places, not be so invisible, this disability (among other things) has screwed up my social life. Somehow, I feel so dissapointed by life..

Right now my three main mood enhancers are food, youtube, and ss- maybe that's why I've gained fifty pounds in three months. I 've got to start using the gym more and food less. One other mood enhancer for me is demonstrated in the following video:

My mood is completly out of my control.
My mood controls me.

 

[Shu]

good daily sleep schedule

Fizi you blocked me. I was just being silly man.

 

[Sherri]

I forgot to mention that I also take mood stabiliser, that also helps.

 

[stygal]

Watching silly let's plays (don't even play games myself lol) on YouTube or True crime. I'm addicted to both, I think.

 

[Silenos]

Any complete distraction will improve my mood, like watching a movie, playing a game or going for a walk. A problem I often face however is getting started on these things.

 

[Euthanasia]

Eating fatty foods and drinks.
