Such a horrible time of the year and with social media we are really seeing the extent of how depression is hitting this place!

Keep talking and demand help..

There'll be a grand stretch in the evenings soon, hopefully it'll get easier for people.

I know a few people that have deleted social media recently and have said it's really helped their head space.

I've done this for lent this year. Works a treat to be fair.

I'll go back on after Easter as the kids school post a lot on Facebook but that'll be it.

In my case, things got so bad that I started drinking to cope, which made the depression a thousand times worse.

I love your 'game mechanics' approach, but I struggled to stay consistent on my own. What finally made everything click was following the advice of Dr. Ash Bhatt, who guided me through a structured program at Legacy Healing that focused on exactly what you mentioned, cutting out the 'depressants' like alcohol and rebuilding brain health from a clinical perspective. Your list is amazing, but for me, having that professional guidance was the missing piece to making those habits stick long-term.

Everybody will be different. Gotta do whatever works for you. Keep at it.
