How do you get through depression?

[herbavore]

Human connection !

Human connection is great and also another overlooked antidote to depression is helping animals. Every community has a shelter for animals that have been abandoned and sometimes abused as well. Getting out of your own head in order to alleviate the suffering, even temporarily, of a very innocent being that is in a traumatic situation can do wonders for your own suffering. One of my favorite poems advises to see your own suffering as literally connected to all suffering so that kindness becomes the only true path forward.

Getting up earlier can help a lot, constantly sleeping in till late can make you feel a lot worse!

my life has become the definition of stagnant, been on suboxone for over 5 years now and it is starting to cause issues like i knew long term maintenance would, anyway most days i am depressed BUT whenever the waves are good its like i just did a shot of dope... the euphoria that i get from surfing is second to none

get a fucking passion and commit to it.. thats my advice
