I’ve been dealing with depression a lot since I quit drinking. I’ve found that exercise does help, but for me it has to be exercise that I actually enjoy. I’ve been going for walks. I like exploring different parts of my neighborhood and now that I’ve been doing it a while I can cover 4 or 5 miles in a day! Being in better shape gives me more energy and I actually feel like getting up and doing something instead of just vegging out in front of the TV for hours

I’ve also found that just cleaning my space has been really helpful. I let my house turn into a disgusting mess when my depression was at it’s worst, and the act of tidying it all up helped improve my mood a lot. Having actual space to work and everything where its supposed to be has made me much more productive artistically too. Seeing a mess every day was just making me more depressed.

Finding a new hobby that you have to learn about and get better at can really help with getting the creative process going too.

I hope this is helpful. I know the same things don’t always work for everyone, but I’m in a much better place than I was 2 years ago now

I’m like 95% sure it’s probably something I’m doing wrong lol

I remember my password but it won’t let me log in anywhere else besides this app on this one device for some reason

But do they have a Pinkberry there??? I’m guessing they dont…

Hmm… not so impressive sounding now, is it?

I’m working on some new pieces now so hopefully I’ll have something else to post soon!

Yes as long as you have a Gmail account and a payment method you can put on file you can use Google Play without a sim card just over wifi. All a sim card does is connect you to a cellular network, it shouldn’t really affect your ability to set up any Google services

I just recently took up cross stitching. You can learn all the basics for free on YouTube and there are tons of cross stitching communities online and there are tons of free patterns online too. All the supplies you need at first are some thread, some Aida cloth and needles. When I started I got a stitching hoop too I think my total investment was about $20.

I appreciate the tip, but I’ve already stopped using reddit entirely at this point. I’ll still try Boost for Lemmy when it comes out though!

I think once he applied a bunch of rules and bullshit data harvesting it would basically be the same thing as Facebook and people wouldn’t see the point of having a separate Reddit account. Probably no one would use it

Also after all the shitty things Steve Huffman has done to Reddit it basically has no value anymore. He’s devalued the brand so much that even the name Reddit is now synonymous with corporate greed

Also most people on Facebook who don’t already have a Reddit account think Reddit is just the scary and complicated version of Facebook anyway, so there’s really no reason why they would want to use it

Boost finally stopped working last week. The dev says he’s making a version of Boost for Lemmy though!

Please don’t allow AI posts. If we start having AI posts this place will basically turn into a fan art page.

I’m the same age as my tongue, and a bit older than my teeth

I could put the pictures on Imgur and post the URLs instead. I’m seeing a lot of Imgur links on here lol

Oh wow… The smallest file size my camera takes is at least 2mb, does that mean I just can’t post pictures for now? I guess I could try to shrink them…
