Hi everyone,
I know from other threads theres a few of us here who have struggled with depression and anxiety issues. So I'm interested in what methods or strategies you have used to successfully treat them. Key ones for me are:
1 - exercise. Intensive exercise mixing weight bearing and cardio seem best.
2 - Sunlight. I'm not sure how effective light boxes are but natural sun is very helpful.
3 - Distracting activity. (Avoid ruminating)
4 - Eating regularly. My blood sugar levels tend to be volatile and are a big factor in my mood, so I'm doing a low GI diet and healthy snacking every few hours.
Individually I find these things only have a modest impact, but collectively they have a significant if I do them regularly. The problem for me is being consistant and avoiding a gradual downward spiral...
