Depression/Anxiety and other Mental Health Issues
Sorry for this thread. I hope nobody will jump on me for this. A significant proportion of Canadians (25%) will experience Mental Health problems some time in their life. There is still a big stigma over these issues.
If you have depression or anxiety issues in particular, I just want to emphasize what works for me:
-eat right
-don't drink or do drugs
-exercise
-socialize with friends or family
-fight the negative thoughts in your head, remember you must believe in yourself. Don't let negative thinking get in the way
-meditate
-see a doctor, therapist, or eastern/native/non-traditional healing
-be easy on yourself
Just remember, things will get better, as long as you force yourself to get out and enjoy life. It may be hard at first, but it will pass.
Just remember that you are loved, and everyone is unique in their own way. Don't give up, and life is short. Enjoy it.
