I've written some things before in my previous posts so if you missed those posts you can read them too. In the comments there has come up a lot of useful tips that I'd like to talk about here; which is about what kinds of things a person suffering from depression can do if talking to a "shrink" feels too much or perhaps if you want to do something additional. Of cause every case of depression is unique so I can't say that everything will work to everybody but maybe it's worth trying? Studies have shown a connection with an increased feeling of well being if exercising, and don't necessarily means that you got to hit the gym, a small walk counts! Polished Marvels also pointed out that doing something creative, with your hands, also is good. And then we have this about eating correct and balanced, studies also show that vitamin D and Omega-3 play an important role. Eating nutritional supplement of those can be a good choice, vitamin D can be extra important for us who live far north and the sun isn't present all round the year. As you probably know, we can either eat vitamin D (fish, eggs and vitamin D enriched dairy's) or be in the sun where our body can "create" vitamin D and store it for a while. Scientist have found correlations between winter darkness and depression and suspects that Vitamin D is the missing ingredient. Another thing that people talk about is light therapy, now there's headphones giving light therapy and some people claims that it has helped them. I don't know if it works for everybody but why not? Now I've written far to much text again so let's look at the polish.. :)
The green polish I'm showing today is Oopsie Daises - Mojito Mist and when I saw it at Sminkan&Emma I just knew that I had to have it, seconds after I had bought it. First of all the name, mojito (if it's correctly done) is my favorite drink and than the actual polish looks really fun and unique. The base is light green, minty and there's white glitter an shredded green glitter. The shredded green glitter really looked like the muddled mojitos and I imagine the white glitter to be ice. I think I used two thicker coats for this.
Gorgeous polish, the love the subtle tint of green and the glitter. My therapists previously always recommended exercise and I was always surprised by how much more 'alive' I felt after working out to home DVD's. It also gave me a sense of accomplishment which was something I often felt very little of during that time. What really helped for me during my final bout of depression was a different method of therapy which was called CBT which focuses on what makes you feel depressed and how to change the thoughts that can get you there. Basically your retraining the way you think and look at situations. xx
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this polish, it's not that in your face but still very interesting. I think you said something really important about the issue too; "the sense of accomplishment". When things feel bad it's good to at least feel good about something, even if it's the smallest thing (a thing which other people do without thinking perhaps, but for "you" it might be big or enough). Oh, I've heard about CBT, I imagine it to be a "positive brainwash". :)
DeleteVilka bra tips du kommit med! Jag har haft extrema problem med rastlöshet iochmed min sjukskrivning. Det som hjälpte mig mot det var just motion och kreativitet. Så nu målar jag naglarna varje dag och har precis lärt mig sticka :P Perfekt!
ReplyDeleteOch förresten, jättefint lack :)
Tack! :D Va kul att du hittat vad som funkar för dig! Jag kan sticka lite granna, typ halsdukar men önskar att jag var bättre, hade verkligen velat kunna sticka sockor och vantar men min mamma bor för långt bort för att jag ska få hjälp. XD Får åka på övningsläger... ;)

Åh, bland många drinkar tycker jag att den ändå är av de mindre sötare, men mot vin är det ju givetvis sött. :P Och lacket är ju en riktig höjdare! :)

Senaste natten satt jag och pynjade med en nail art look för Depression Awareness Month också, det ligger mig nära pga många olika orsaker. Viktigt att depressioner tas upp tycker jag :)

Ja, jag gillar också det, när det är lite crellyaktigt så det blir som en automatisk jellymacka! :D
