how do you cope with heaviness? (1 Viewer)

[kuro]

I'm not talking about sadness, or even anger. It's hard to explain the feeling if you haven't felt it. It's like something weighing down on you. You might not be sad or cranky, or maybe you aren't feeling anything. The feeling is still there, dragging you. It's in your chest, your stomach, you can feel it tingling in your body. Usually, I just take a few deep breaths and release any emotions I have, if I'm angry I listen to calming songs, if I'm sad I think of happy thoughts, but today's different.

I don't know how to get rid of it because today was a good day for me. It's 10:00 am and I talked to my best friend and made plans for today. I'm looking forward to seeing her. So why do I feel heavy?

Ain't this early sign of depression?

I know that feeling. Sometimes I just take naps throughout the day and I get a bit of energy back.

A hot shower might help you relax

Hmm... I think I kinda know what you’re talking about? If that happens to me, I usually just try to think of something else honestly. Over the years, I’ve made up this whole fictional world and I usually just escape to there and make up new stories, though thats probably just me. XD

This used to happen to me too. Maybe go out with your friends and try and distract yourself. Having fun with my friends always helped me forget about my feelings and the heaviness I felt inside disappeared momentarily. When you do something you love, your feelings are distracted and you end up enjoying the moment more than worrying about anything else and it helps a lot.

I hope you feel better soon.

- yoga (there's simple, short but good routines on YT)
- running (go outside and RUN)
- a looong bath or shower
- meditation or pushups
- go to spa alone
- go to a restaurant alone (doesn't have to be fancy)
- go shopping alone but don't buy anything
- walk around the house and make a grandiose speech about politics
while holding a cup of your favorite drink
- wear a poncho

All these work 100%! Heaviness, be gone!

I agree. Excercising is one of the best methods. I used to be really lazy but excercising really helps! Just half-an-hour of excercise/yoga every morning does wonders.
