i need a release.

My release is watching my favorite show,reading, writting,running, listening to music,abs art. These are ways to keep my mind off things and express my feelings.

I'm not sure how healthy this is but very hot showers work wonders on me. I let the water run just off of scalding and just let the water run over me. If you have any pets it could also help to spend some affectionate time with them, my dog and cats are very comforting. I also highly recommend mynoise.net. I use the rain noise a lot. I've been using it to sleep for a while so now my brain associates it with feeling calm so it works wonders. But all the noises on there can work right away. Finally, if there are any beautiful movies that make you cry in a good way, watch them. It helps release the negative feelings and if it has an uplifting ending it can help generate some optimism. I've dealt with depression for years now and these have all been greatly helpful releases. Sleeping hugging a pillow can also help tackle feelings of loneliness I just remembered that one. Good luck. Don't hesitate to message me, though I am going to bed soon.

Fill your day with anything that can keep you busy. Planning your day out the night before helps for you to be excited to wake up in the morning.

I go to the gym and get on the elliptical. I listen to loud music and after about a half hour I start to feel better.

I play my piano and write in a journal most nights to vent out all my frustrations and anything exciting that happens in my life. I've recently started to write a book, and it's keeping me really busy so I don't think about all the bad things
