Not to make the previous chapter too long - I decided to continue it & give you more ideas how to quickly feel better when your mood goes down in this part. That's why I'm starting with number 2 now ( some of those ideas may seem really 'obvious' - but they are not so easy to think of for a depressed person. That's why I'm listing them here for you - & I hope that you will find a way to feel better that is the best for you on the list I'm giving you - of course you may try All the Ways I'm listing here - This time one way - next time another. Why not? 😉 ).
So, More Ways To Feel Better Are:
2) MAKE SURE TO HAVE AT LEAST 2 CLOSE FRIENDS YOU CAN COUNT ON, YOU CAN TALK TO WHEN YOU'RE SAD AND WHO WILL KNOW HOW TO CHEER YOU UP THEN!
( If you have 3 such friends or even more - the better for you! :) 👍 ).
Why one such friend may be not enough? - Because he or she may be busy at the moment when you start to feel sad, & if you start calling or messaging him/her & he/she won't answer - you may think 'Why he/she doesn't answer the phone/is not online when I need him/her? :( ' - & such a tought may make you feel even worse!
< And if you have 2, 3 or more such friends - there's a bigger chance that at least one of them will be available & answer the phone or your online message when you need to talk to someone >
Talking to your friends Always makes you feel better - & talking your problems out makes you feel relieved. So you should talk to them not only when you feel good. And they should support you when you feel bad! ☺☹☺
3) WRITE A DIARY
< why not a blog but in a Paper Copy Book? ... - That's simple: Because your bad mood is temporal & what you write online will stay there Forever & many people will read that even months & Years after! 📖 ... So think about that before you start writing your bad mood out on your Time Line in social media! - It's not a good idea!... - Think how many people may read it after!... - And even those who don't know you & see your account for the First Time would instantly start Worrying about You! :/ ... - You don't want to Make Thousands of People Worry About You, right? >
( That is one reason why writing a Diary in a Copy Book, as people used to do before they invented social media is better - Another reason: Writing things down in a Copy Book will help you calm down faster & collect your thoughts better - so I Really Recommend You This Way of Getting Rid of any Bad Feelings You Have. - Don't Squeeze Your Bad Feelings Inside cause hiding them is really bad for Your Health - Write them out in a Diary - with your hand & pen, not screen & keyboard & you will feel better soon! :) ).
4) DANCE :)
< ok, if you don't feel like dancing or don't like to dance at all - I won't force you, it's just an option to make you feel happier quickly cause dancing makes your brain produce endorphins! 😃 - & they are the hormones of happiness! ^_~ >
5) EXERCISE
< It's another option to make your brain feel better through movement & it usually works - The Only Rule Here is: Choose the activity You Like - it shoud give you joy, not make you feel tired! So don't exaggerate with it & don't train too much, only as much as you need - it should make you feel happier... - not make your muscles sore! >
