Top 10 things that got me out of my depression.

Hi there hive fam,

I thought today I would write about the top 10 things that all added up to really make me realize how good life is and to break me out of my depression.

1. I don't know about other people, but for me.. when I am depressed I just lay around, have reduced appetite, and just am not motivated to do much of anything. Even sitting up seems to take extra effort. But that's just what I did.. and I put on a music vid on youtube, of my favorite kpop group.. Illit. Just seeing their fun and happy singing and dancing really brought me a little bit of joy and made me feel a little better.

2. In the same no effort really, was to watch movies on tubi.. this great site that I found recently. In particular, I would watch an old movie that I know I liked and that was cool. This made me 'smile' a bit more and I thought.. even if all I do is eat, sleep.. just enough to survive.. then I could at least sit around and watch vids and movies. 🎥

3. I would lay in bed and remember my past and all the people in my life. Starting with my kids and also my mom and aunt and uncle.. then there is my sis, all her kids, and my cousins here in cali.. even my cousins dog, who comes over to stay ere often. 🐕🐶

4. It was not any 1 thing, but the combo of many little things. The next one that comes to mind is music. When I am most down, love songs make me even more sad, cuz the words.. but, when I am feeling a bit better, I just luv all music.. especially my favorite slow songs. (like James Ingram, Lionel Richie, Mariah Carey.. to name a few) 😉🎵🎶🎶🎶

5. Food! This post is getting long, so I'll just finish my list..

6. gym / exercise

7. Having a nice house to live in.

8. Going out. (even tho I didn't feel like it)

9. Volleyball. (watching live.. not playing.. although the ball flew to me once and I caught it.)

10. I realized how capable I still was.. like computers and online stuff.. hiving!!

    and that's all I want to say about that! :)
