10 Simple Things To Do For When Your Depression Is Getting Bad Again

Depression is an controlling disease. It consumes our everyday lives and the decisions we make. But there are sometimes things we can do to ease the pain.

Read

Anything and everything. Things you've been wanting to read for a while or new things you just found on the shelves of the library.

Hangout with friends

Surround yourself around people who make you feel better. Friends who build you up and make you laugh.

Eat

Sometimes it's the last thing you want to do, but it's important to take care of yourself. Some things might make depression worse, such as caffeine, so pay attention to what affects your body.

Go for a walk


Go for a walk around the block and get some fresh air, this might help clear your mind.

Go out

Sometimes being cooped up in the house can worsen your depression, so go out and enjoy yourself.

Do some self care

Do something that makes you feel good. Try taking a bubble bath or doing a face mask.

Exercise

Exercising has been said to help with depression. Don't hurt yourself, but do something that gets your blood flowing.

Get up

Depression will make you lay in bed all day. So beat it, get up, get yourself moving. It's crazy how much better you'll feel once you but yourself into motion.

Clean

Clean the house. Organize your closet. Do something productive that will make you feel like you accomplished something when you're done. It'll make you feel better.

Take it easy

Don't try to do a hundred things at once. Take it one step at a time. You don't have to complete everything right now, so do your tasks one at a time.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
