I push through my winter depression with keeping my purpose in life at the forefront of my mind. I know that without me my family would fall apart so I keep busy as much as I can. That helps me get through my depression.

Being active helps keep depression at bay. Music, work, socializing with people… staying busy!

Hobbies and keeping busy.

I just booked a holiday for may next year. It’s something to look forward to so that’s lifted my mood too.

I am more or less depressed all the time, but at least there are distractions to get mind off of it. Besides pretty numb overall anyway, so paradoxically it is pretty meaningless state of mind in any case.

Yea i relate i feel generally low all the time. Things can make me more depressed or more upbeat occassionally. But yea im pretty numb too. It is what it is. I think its part of my personality and its just normal now
