What to do when we are depressed

* Identify what is making you sad or depressed and look to see if there is a solution for that. * Find a way to vent, don't close yourself in. * Seek help from trusted people. * Try to change those negative thoughts into positive ones. * Go for a walk for a while. * Do physical exercise, it is proven to reduce depression and also anxiety. * Seek to distract your mind. * If you have a very marked routine, get out of it somehow, try to do something different from what you do every day. * Listen to your favorite music or music that relaxes you. * Do your best to sleep and rest adequately. * Be kind to yourself and try to work on your self-love. * Although many seek alcohol as consolation, it is best to avoid it as this does not help, on the contrary, it can make feelings of sadness become more intense. * Pamper yourself, encourage yourself, congratulate yourself. * Live one day at a time, the problems you have today will not necessarily be there tomorrow. * You must be constant and patient in your fight against depression since it is a strong illness that does not disappear overnight. * If your depression is persistent and you cannot control it with anything, seek help from a professional.
