Jen wrote Hello!
I went to therapy when I was younger for a little and tried going two years or three ago. I went for three or four sessions. It was good honestly and it did help because you don't realize well I didn't realize personally how much stuff I held or didn't know what was bothering me. After awhile I stopped going because I felt like the counselor was a little judge mental but I heard that's normal to not always connect right away with some therapists. I heard you have to find a good therapist/counselor which of course makes a difference.

To help with depression: not that I have it but everyone goes through down times in their life or anxious times so sometimes if I was more sad or anxious I try to work out which is huge because working out really helps me mentally, as I think better and more happier over time. Also self help books helped me out a lot because there is so many resources out there that can help you on which part you're struggling with. For example I just got this book called "The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment is a book by Eckhart Tolle". It presents itself as a discussion about how people interact with themselves and others. The concept of self reflection and presence in the moment are presented along with simple exercises for the achievement of its principles.

Long story short there's book out there that help with thinking, feeling better and etc.

Lastly I believe what you eat really effects your mood as your gut is correlated to what you eat which effect your mood. So if you eat crappy food or not nutrients - you won't feel good or feel emotionally happy if that makes sense.

Not everyone journey is the same and different approaches help people. I think it is awesome you're trying therapy because worse come to worse you can stop if it's not for you. Good for you working on yourself & I wish the best of luck. Please don't hesitate to message or reach out to me if you need someone to talk to or for whatever reason don't be a stranger lol!

Team073 wrote Seeking out help is always the best thing to do! Sharing with family and friends or having someone like a therapist will help out alot.
Also writing stuff helps clear your mind if you are feeling down or sad.

Hopefully you will have a good connection with him/her i found that to be the hardest part in looking for help! Always remember there are alot of people out there who want to help you and you are not alone!
