What's been helpful for you?
What do you do when you're feeling depressed?
I don’t get depressed any more but when i did, i’d go for therapy/healing, dance, sing, eat, drink (not good as booze is a depressant)
Exercise is great for the mood as is music. I wished way back i’d read books. I swear it’s changed my thought patterns and way of life!
Are you depressed OP?

Sorry to hear your löss of all that money. Don’t you have Venus in 2nd? Thats good news for acquiring money, now you need to learn how to keep it. Would it be helpful to deposit into an account where you can’t touch it but just leave yourself with say 5k to play around with? Next time hey Gem? 😀

Yes I'm not really passionate about writing I just think I will be a writer 🤔 In what form I don't know - might not even be fiction
Lol next time, sure. It always seems like a good idea at the time 😣click to expand
Gemini + writing = 👍. Would you consider short stories for magazines and then in book form? Ive a few short story books which i enjoy.
Be sure to inform me of your next big win and i’ll remind you to be sensible😀

I don't get depressed, but my head steers do, so when that happens I have to eat an orange and drink 1-2 cups of green tea. I like genmaicha green tea for this purpose.
Eating something with Sriracha sauce works well, too. Try eating a toasted bagel covered in cream cheese and add Sriracha on top of the cream cheese part.

I'd say out of all things running. It doesn't have to be a marathon or anything, but running feels really good in all cases for me. Sometimes getting the motivation is the hardest part. I like to just start driving which is step one, then "accidently" end up at the local trail. Then I tell myself I'm just going to walk for a bit. After a few minutes of walking and being outside, running till I'm sweating and tired comes naturally. Like I'm already on the trail, so the hard part is done. Might as well run. Depression can make it extremely hard to find motivation or willpower to do anything really. So if you are dealing with it you have to improvise and even fool yourself into situations guaranteed to make you feel better. If you do it every day it will become a habit, and running is a really good habit imo.

My son can always tell when I bring home chocolate & wine 😂 Honestly though, working through things. Writing helps me think and get things out of my head easier. I tend to try to take steps toward things that help me towards a better path. Working on the journey helps, instead of moping around feeling sorry for myself.
I'm not one to feel sorry for myself because it just feels like a giant waste of time. For me...it's usually a sudden and intense feeling of sadness that I can't link to anything or anyone specific in my life. I keep thinking that if I have a better understanding of how and when it occurs then I'll have some type of upper hand.

Thanks for this. Yeah...finding the motivation feels impossible at times. The worst part of it for me is when the things that usually make me feel better all of a sudden don't and then eventually everything feels pointless. That's what I can't find my way around.

Yes!! You know I had such overwhelming sadness after I left my ex husband & dad was dying that the only way I could function was step by step. One baby step at a time as I figured out how to heal, how to get back to me & happy. I had a lot to unravel, that’s why it had gotten so bad. Led me on a quest for understanding, myself, others, why things didn’t work & how to change that.
I am Cap dominant 😉 my Sag sun does help to always hope though. So I tend to twist towards positive, or walk that road to the positive.

Hey! Yes, I realise you don’t know the triggers. I’m sorry that you have to go through this. There is always a trigger for everything though, although it may be hidden inside you. If you are still looking for one, write down retrospectively the main events, even the trivial ones that have preceded it, as far as you can remember. What did you eat and drink, what did you do and when, who did you meet. What was the weather? Don’t be upset if you don’t find any pattern though.
My only bout of depression was long time ago, on a background of being seriously dehydrated and physically uncomfortable. I was in a night train, returning home from Vienna. No psychological reason whatsoever. I was content that I solved what I went there for, and even bought early Christmas presents. At the beginning I was quite happy. Then I felt hot and thirsty…..the train was heated to the max before departure, and I was wearing warm clothes. Besides, I forgot to drink water that day, and had a glass of mulled wine earlier. The night train didn’t have any drinks and the windows could not be opened. Ah well, it’s going to be a long night, but the train will eventually cool down, I remember thinking.
Then….it hit me at once. Feelings of extreme sadness, despair, discomfort. Not only that I started to cry without a reason, but I couldn’t even relax my facial muscles, that were stuck into a painful grimace. Nobody was there, but I had to cover my face with my coat, in case that someone was passing by and ask me what was wrong…..and I hadn’t the slightest idea what was wrong with me and why I was feeling so distressed! The worst few hours of my life.

Water placements can be challenging but moon trine Saturn is far more stable than some moon Saturn aspects. Scorp moon tends to bury emotions and Capricorn can be reticent emotionally.
Would you consider some art therapy if you find it hard to talk as well as some body work....I found shamanism excellent as it goes in very deep which is great for Scorpio placements. When we bury the feelings they are exacerbated and need shifting. Talking alone isn’t always enough....
