Depression Understood Forums

Nail biting and other nervous habits as well as not taking care of your environment is not showing respect for yourself. No matter what is going on in your life, keeping the bathroom and bedroom a nice environment really helps your mood.

I'm working on this myself, but I think it's worth the effort. For example, one thing I'm doing is rearranging and refinishing. The refinishing and building is on hiatus only because we can't open the windows yet to ventilate, and I am really looking forward to completing the rooms.

Citm,
I'm glad you've self respect.
Serving others also helps...

How are things going with redoing the bedroom and all? Has it helped?

Our surroundings truly do affect our moods. Organizing, decorating and cleaning? It brings a breath of fresh air to the spirit, and a type of peace and solace within.

Good advice, indeed.

ou just describe my feeling here. I have this symptom every day. I have my psychiatrist provide me with depression medications but it does not work. I try to see him again, but he told me to see the counselor. I have been talking to counselor all my life, I feel medication help me more.
