I don’t believe in God, but I went for a long hike in the woods by myself not too long ago after it rained (it was beautiful out) and it did feel really good afterwards, but unfortunately that sadness came back.
Hopefully this weekend involves drinking and partying.
If only one hike could cure all depression lol. Unfortunately good emotions are temporary as well. But notice when you felt good in the woods versus when you felt bad. It’s still the same you! The only difference were those emotions. All of which were temporary. Like Bitey said, stop worrying about the temporary bad emotions you are currently feeling and look foward to those good (even rare) emotions that you feel when you hike.
I won’t tell you what to do, but drinking definitely will make things worse. Don’t fret over it though, just a heads up for if/when you are hung over the next day feeling like *edited* lol
but yeah depression sucks. I don’t deal with it so much any more as i deal with just random freak outs. I think i’m a little OCD or something. Whenever i see a scratch or mark i don’t remember getting, i automatically think its cancer or something morbid lol. That and I have to work out almost all the time to not feel like i’m dying. If i miss more than a couple days i lose it lol.
