"When we love others we feel loved. When we give others kindness, we are kinder to ourselves."

[@meghan42]

Lovely! When we love ourselves we are much more capable of loving others. When we can be kind to ourselves, we can be kind to others. It is through the self that we realize we are all one. And it is also through others that we realize weare all one.

Helping others and working outside and in gardens, etc...can really help heal you for a time at least.

Eating dirt, and making mud masks from dirt can also help. You should try mixing canned cream of celery soup with bird droppings and Ritz crackers to make a crunchy dip for celery sticks.

@@lightblueseaglass Enjoy your dirt and bugs then! 🙄🤨🥱

I could say watching good anime, watching stand-up comics , adult coloring books, playing classic video games, listening to good music and smoking weed and relaxing, exercising at home.

What would help is enough money to survive

[@meghan42]

How are you surviving?

[@lightblueseaglass]

Have you tried eating food from dumpsters?

EXTREMELY important in USA. You live in a 2-world on an island and it is up to YOU to make it 3-D 💯👍

Spending money also helps with depression 🙃

@D Legionnaire not even if you spend it on an AR15?

[@renaissance18]

i just keep my depression, loneliness, and suicidal thoughts under control by drinking lots of ice coffee, play video games, chess, mine bitcoins, listen to music to relax my mind

[@dirtygirl2808]

Sleeping with strangers helps too

@@dirtygirl2808 true but im just tired of being rejected by girls want to commit suicide but i cant, my left brain hemisphere tells me to commit suicide while the right hemisphere tells me not to commit suicide, i just want to end the mental torture of rejection but it wont let me do it = anti virus inside my system = prevent me from harming myself

Is this sarcasm? Or is this for real?

@@meghan42 I'm serious I suffer from it every single day for the rest of my life but I keep it under control with ice coffee
