Meanwhile, the www.healthline.com website said: “There are a number of steps one can take to manage and navigate depression. Making small changes to one’s daily routine, diet, and lifestyle habits can all have a positive effect. Depression can drain your energy, leaving you feeling empty and fatigued. This can make it difficult to muster the strength or desire to get treatment.
“Small lifestyle changes may help you manage these feelings. Small steps have a big impact and if a person feels sustained, intense, feelings of sadness or loss of interest in activities, they may have clinical depression.”
It continues to say, people also refer to this condition as major depressive disorder. However, the website said, there are small steps you can take to help you gain more agency in your life and improve your sense of well-being.
“Depression is common and it affects millions of people, including some in your life. You may not realize they face similar challenges, emotions, and obstacles. The key to navigating depression is to be open, accepting, and loving toward yourself and what you’re going through.
“Every day with this disorder is different. It’s important to take your mental health seriously and accept that, where you are right now, is not where you’ll always be. If you’re up for exercise, consider a walk around the block.”
It says, on days when you feel as if you can’t get out of bed, exercise may seem like the last thing you’d want to do. The www.healthline.com said, however, exercise and physical activity can help to lower symptoms of depression and boost energy levels.
“The research suggests that, for some people, exercise can be as effective as medication at relieving depression symptoms. It may also help prevent future depressive episodes. Even when you have the feeling that you’re unable to or have very little energy, see if you’d be willing to do the opposite of what your mood is telling you to do, such as curling up in bed.
“Instead, set a small goal for yourself, such as taking a walk around the block. Also, know that today isn’t indicative of tomorrow. Internal emotions and thoughts can change from day to day. So, tracking experiences through journaling or keeping a mood diary can help to remember this.”
It says, if you were unsuccessful at getting out of bed or accomplishing your goals today, remember that you haven’t lost tomorrow’s opportunity to try again. The website says, to give yourself the grace to accept that, while some days will be difficult, some days will also be less difficult.
