Helping low mood and mild depression

Low mood and mild depression can  be very subtle. It’s that kind of state of feeling that you will have that doesn’t have any face so you could be happy be joyful, and still feel low and keep it subdued. If you are going through frequent low mood and mild depression, so experiencing these for a long time, sometimes people may not even realise that you experience these states, we may be good at masking them and hiding them as well. 

It’s not the easiest thing to tell someone that you experience low mood and mild depression as you can find ways to manage it and not project the distress on to other people, even if the emotions are making you feel angry, or anxious or sad.

Some of the things that do help, are exercise eating healthy, things like yoga any kind of physical activity can help in the meantime and for that present period, but I always suggest that it’s always good to go to the source and work through the process of the emotions and the mental regulation and with the awareness so that you either get better at managing them or going through these emotional states less frequently.

For myself going through low mood and mild depression, it’s something I didn’t even realise was a big part of my experience until trigger external events happened and going through the process of healing, and then being aware of my emotions and cognitive behaviours

Furthermore, when you realise or come across your own emotional moods and states you can then see them in others a bit more to which creates greater empathy which is a good thing.

So to help low moods and mild depression is something that might take time, it is a process do not rush it, do not use self-criticism excessively and put yourself down when you are in the states, which is easier said than done but taking the time to work on them, needs a lot of time alone going through the process of finding the support depending on how you feel about it. But remember this is your personal journey and you do know best, and if you don’t you can always get the support to guide you through the mental and emotional distress.
