Depressed people feel sad, anxious, empty, hopeless or agitated. They may lose interest in activities once enjoyed, experience loss of appetite, difficulty concentrating, remembering details, or making decisions.
David Richards, research professor of mental health at the University of Exeter, offers these tips to cope when you're depressed.
Be More Active.
No other life. Socialization can improve your mood. Staying in touch with family and friends means you have someone to talk to when you feel low.
Take some exercise. There is evidence that exercise can help lift your mood. If you have not exercised for a while, start slowly walking for 20 minutes each day. For more information on exercise for depression.
Face Your Fears.
Do not avoid the things you find difficult. When people feel depressed or anxious, sometimes avoid talking to others. Some people may lose confidence in driving or traveling.
If this starts to happen, to deal with these situations will help them be easier.
Do Not Drink Alcohol.
For some people, alcohol can become a problem. You can drink more than usual as a way to cope au hide their emotions, or just to fill time. But alcohol will not help solve their problems. It could also make you feel more depressed.
Having A Routine.
When people feel down, they can get into bad sleep habits, staying up late and sleep during the day. Getting up at the normal time and stick to your routine as much as possible.
Do not have a routine can affect your diet. You can stop cooking regular meals, eat snacks throughout the day rather than miss breakfast or because you're still in bed.
