things i did to heal my depression

i hit a wall last october and was forced to face my issues head on. it's not easy, but life has gotten better.

there wasn't a lot of bubble baths, candles, self care nights, face masks, or extensive hygiene routines — instead there was lots of therapy, specified treatments, tears, messy rooms, highs and lows, and crying to defying gravity 100 times

if you guys want a post about TMS or FMLA let me know! #mentalhealthawareness #neurodivergent #healing #healingjourney #embracevulnerability

2025/1/25 Edited to

Healing from depression is a deeply personal journey, filled with its unique challenges. It often involves a combination of therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and innovative treatments such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) which can have profound effects on mental well-being. TMS, a non-invasive procedure, uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain, and studies have shown it to be effective for those with treatment-resistant depression. Medications are also common in many recovery journeys, but they should be monitored closely by healthcare professionals. Incorporating self-care practices like meditation, journaling, or engaging in hobbies can provide emotional relief and support the healing process. Moreover, connecting with others who share similar experiences can create a sense of community and understanding, which is invaluable. Participation in mental health forums or support groups can foster a space for sharing tips and resources, helping individuals feel less isolated. It’s also important to acknowledge that healing is not linear; some days will be better than others, and that’s completely normal. Reflecting on these experiences can provide insight into personal growth and resilience. If you're considering exploring treatments such as TMS or taking advantage of resources like the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), consulting with healthcare professionals can guide you on the best path forward. Remember, every step taken towards understanding and healing is a positive movement forward.
