> For these reasons I am completely shit-scared of them. I see them as my option of last resort but increasingly I feel my options running out. I couldn’t even take ibuprofen or daily vitamins at a certain point of being depressed out of fear it would make it worse. There were a few things that helped me calm the storm: 1. Exercise (30 mins elevated heart rate each day) 2. Talk about it (Friends, family, strangers on the internet) 3. Moderation (screen time, work, diet, etc) 4. Read about different philosophies (stoicism, buddhism, taoism, etc) 5. Sleep (Make it a top priority to get the right amount 8+ hrs)
