What Happens To You Or What Do You Do When Depression Sets In?

Atwater, CA

I feel defeated whenever depression sets in. I can block it out for only a matter of time before it overpowers me. At that point, I ride it out.

I feel like I need to do things to occupy my mind. I go walking, get out my sudoku puzzle book or find small jobs to do.

If I get depressed or feel the Blues , I always remind myself the good things that I did through my life.

To everyone who’s responded so far, thank you! I find it therapeutic to ‘talk’ about mental health in this space. A lot of people on the outside don’t get it but y’all do. Thank goodness!!!

Like some of you, I live in a rural area. Services are limited, care is questionable, and there are no support groups of any kind. I’ve just recently come to realize that I’m lacking a physical, in-person social/support group.
