Lessons

I think I will make this a continuing feature on this blog: Lessons Learned from Being Mentally Off.

1. Suicidal thoughts aren't stagnant. They have an ebb and flow. Yet when they are very intense, it's overwhelming.
2. It's important to have human relationships. More than three if possible. Regular contact with real people all the time is important.
3. The internet is a good place to begin a friendship, but take it to rl as soon as possible.
4. Bad eating habits don't help your depression. It can make it worse.
5. Exercise can help. Any physical activity can help.
6. Having hobbies and finding new ones when the old ones seem insignificant is important. (Rediscovering old hobbies is great too)...

I am sure there are more lessons, but I want to compile as I go along life freethinking.
