Sally...
When depression was part of my life...I tried many things to lessen
the impact. Heck at that time...I did not know that alcohol is
a toxic liquid depressant...
Anyway....a few thingws that helped me
Prayed often for emotional balance .
I re painted my apartment in soothing lighter colors.
Made up my bed with colorful cheerful sheets of plaid
Got a new hair cut with color...stopped wearing dark clothes
Bought new ones in bright colors
Painted my nails pink...kept them looking nice.
Each day I put on scent ..make up...sparkly jewelery
Stopped listening to sad songs in favor of classical music.
Began eating smaller healthy meals.
When a dark thought popped up...I immediately replaced it
with 2 memories of happier days.
Hope you will try some of these and quickly re start your sobreity.
