Well hi! Long story short, the past few weeks have been extremely difficult for me mentally. My mental health is important so here are some things that have helped me recover from a depressive episode or whatever it’s called:
- communication with people involved in my life
- my faith
- mindfulness practices (including meditation)
- getting back to things I enjoy doing
- hitting the gym regularly
- cutting back on unnecessary carbs/sugar/binge eating
I could probably write a bit on the last bullet point, but I feel better when I’m mostly keto and when I do eat carbs it’s intentional. I’ve removed shame and guilt from a lot of aspects in my life, and chased peaceful moments. It’s nice to be happy again, it’s like seeing nature for the first time.
