I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently, and when I’m really depressed one of the best things I can do is be around people, preferably someplace with a band you can dance to. Forcing myself to go out is one of the hardest things I ever do, but it’s never failed to lift my spirits, especially if I can dance. Trust me when I say I’m not a good dancer, but I am a very enthusiastic one, and just listening to the music and letting your body move can be very therapeutic. As I said, it’s the hardest thing I ever do for myself, and it never fails to let me forget about the rest of the world and just take care of myself, even if I don’t talk to a soul. I don’t know what your situation is, but it’s something worth thinking about if it’s something you could do.
