I don't do any alternative treatments, not because I'm opposed, I just haven't yet. I still struggle with dealing with my stress, but these are what I use, I'll try to list in order of helpfulness
1. Cross fit class. Sweaty, vigorous, social, gets me outside my own head. I start to feel worse and worse the more days I skip.
2. Gardening. Hands directly in the dirt, no gloves. Soil has natural antidepressants and also, I love growing things.
3. Keeping a regular, every 4-5 hour, balanced, four meal a day diet. Steady blood sugar, steady mood.
4. Reading. Books are soothing to my mind. I struggle to get off my tablet, which is easy but not relaxing, and make myself pick up books. It always helps.
