Being a stoic helps me a lot. Stoicism teaches that focus on things that you have control, for example your emotion, mindset and your reaction on things or situation. Because there are things that we don't have control like people, their opinion or situation, if you focus on those things then you're stressing over something that you can't control. Reading also help me when I'm feeling alone. Listen to music, Missing you by All Time Low help me on my darkest days.

My career was going great. Work and life was good. Then covid hits. I lost my job but was paid. I was still okay at this point. Even told my parents that I would rest and study before going back to work. Even asked my father to quit his work because I know that he will be very exposed to a lot of people which raise the risk of getting infected. It was still the early days of covid in PH and most of the people still don't know much about it. No vaccines yet. Then, it happened. He got sick, we all got it. Then within a few weeks, we lost him. All you can do that time was to bring him to a hospital where they allowed no one to see him. I never felt that useless in my life at that point. I feel like I am already dead now. Most days I am disappointed that I still woke up.

Choose life always

I honestly don't know. I'm still here somehow. Maybe it's my innocent cats? I know that nobody will love them like I do. I feel like my cats. I'm a stray. I was abandoned. I would never do that to them. I have 3 female cats that found me when they were kittens. They're completely innocent and loving, unlike most human beings.

Diet and exercise go a long way. Start journaling, start a lifting routine, build good habits. Have a sleep schedule. Find a way to enjoy the little and mundane tasks. Do something you’ve always wanted to do/try. I started lifting, learning the piano, and am on a regular schedule and feel much better. Back to basics, write a list of things you love and get cracking. i hope it helps sayo to Katzmate! additional info pa below!

Here's a quick list of things that have helped me:

1. Make sure you're doing lots of physical activities - running, working out, even walking most days is enough to change my mood.
2. Start building solid habits - Creating routines is one of the best ways to beat depression, as it allows you to programme actions that help your mood even when you aren't motivated to do them
3. Eat healthy - more fruit and veg, reduce artificial sugars as much as possible.
4. Get lots of sunlight - Make sure you're getting plenty of sunlight, or if there's a real reason that you cannot and you think you're deficient, try taking vitamin D tablets.
5. Keep a gratitude journal - it doesn't matter how you do it, just make a note either daily or weekly the things you are grateful for. This can really help to mentally shift your focus if you are caught in a negative outlook.
6. Be patient with yourself - understand that everyone's journey with depression is different. It requires a balance of resisting the self pity mindset that can take hold of you, but also not being so hard on yourself when there are setbacks. Make small changes each day, that's all you can ask for. None of these things are necessarily mind blowing, but I've always found that consistently doing the small things together has the biggest impact.
   And keep talking to others about it, either on Social Media or in person. You might just find a solution or way of thinking that changes your life.

Self acceptance is the first key for me. You have to accept who you are, what you have and what you need to deal with. By accepting everything about you is the first step to fight depression. I know some with depression. They dont seek professional help because they dont accept that they do have it.

Self love, and the full support of your love ones are very vital to fight off depression. You cannot deal with it alone.

exercise regularly, be physically active, get a good night sleep

Its easy to say to seek professional help but as you know not all talaga na may suicidal thoughts ginagawa yan kalimitan kinikimkim lang. If your not happy, if your depressed I can only advice na labanan mo do whatever you want na makakatanggal sa utak mo yung mga masasamang bagay..exercise is actually a good thing to do when youre lonely it can clear your mind somehow.

Mismo kaibigan mismo, madalas ng mga nakapg seek ng professional help ay may mga gumabay na kaibigan or pamilya majority ng mga depressed or any mental health issues cannot seek the help they need unless may mag pursige, its sad but its true. Ive been depressed and suicidal since highschool years and years ive felt alone and no one understood. Until nakahanap ako ng sponsor, a workmate of mine na nakapansin sa mood changes ko hndi pag pasok and etc. She kept asking and probing then pushed me and guided me to seek help. If not for her i prolly wouldnt be here today.
