Cats and books are my antidote to depression.(ENG/ESP) 馃樅馃樅
Good morning Hivers how are you? Lately my depression has been a little better, obviously being an illness I am treating it with drugs and finally it seems that I have found an antidepressant that helps me but not only the pharmacological treatment is enough but also therapy and the strength and luck of finding what helps us, as Woody Allen said, just needs to work. There are two things that help me a lot to combat my depression, cats and books. It seems silly but it isn't, when I hear about pet therapy I strongly believe that it works, there are also proven studies of its benefits, as well as book therapy. Some books cure, here in Tuscany there is also a bookshop based on this theory called the literary pharmacy, a lovely place where you can find the right book for your pain. Having an animal helps your mood a lot, not only because it alleviates loneliness and that's no small thing, those who suffer from depression tend to isolate themselves and with an animal you feel less alone, which is why I have 4 cats! I always have company!
Buenos d铆as Hivers 驴c贸mo est谩s? 脷ltimamente mi depresi贸n ha mejorado un poco, obviamente al ser una enfermedad la estoy tratando con medicamentos y finalmente parece que encontr茅 un antidepresivo que me ayuda pero no solo el tratamiento farmacol贸gico es suficiente sino tambi茅n la terapia y la fuerza y suerte de encontrar. lo que nos ayuda, como dijo Woody Allen, s贸lo necesita funcionar. Hay dos cosas que me ayudan mucho a combatir mi depresi贸n, los gatos y los libros. Parece una tonter铆a pero no lo es, cuando escucho sobre la terapia con mascotas creo firmemente que funciona, tambi茅n hay estudios comprobados de sus beneficios, as铆 como la terapia con libros. Algunos libros curan, aqu铆 en Toscana tambi茅n hay una librer铆a basada en esta teor铆a llamada farmacia literaria, un lugar encantador donde puedes encontrar el libro adecuado para tu dolor. Tener un animal ayuda mucho al estado de 谩nimo, no solo porque alivia la soledad y eso no es poco, quienes sufren de depresi贸n tienden a aislarse y con un animal te sientes menos solo, 隆por eso tengo 4 gatos! 隆Siempre tengo compa帽铆a!
Furthermore, when I'm down I like to cuddle my animals and they are a great incentive to get out of bed because I have to take care of them, feed them, change the litter, brush them and then receive all their affection and give them mine! They give so much love without asking for anything in return and you certainly can't argue with them! For books, on the other hand, they have always been a lifeline for me, when the world got bad I took refuge in the pages of a book. Furthermore, there are many books that help you maintain a positive attitude and that tell stories similar to yours, making you feel understood and less alone. There are books that give you the motivation to do something for yourself to improve yourself, books are always enriching and do not hurt the brain like social media, in fact they are a real workout for the brain, I have recently started reading books too in other languages to improve my language skills. Then obviously I also read a lot for pure pleasure and to relax and I love when a book involves me so much that I stay up late at night or wait for the moment when I can sit down and read in peace. Here's what helps me on gray days and what about you? What are your antidotes to unhappiness?
Adem谩s, cuando estoy tumbado me gusta abrazar a mis animales y son un gran aliciente para levantarme de la cama porque tengo que cuidarlos, alimentarlos, cambiarles la arena, cepillarlos y luego recibir todo su cari帽o y darles 隆ellos m铆os! 隆Dan tanto amor sin pedir nada a cambio y ciertamente no puedes discutir con ellos! Para los libros, en cambio, siempre han sido un salvavidas para m铆, cuando el mundo iba mal me refugiaba en las p谩ginas de un libro. Adem谩s, existen muchos libros que te ayudan a mantener una actitud positiva y que cuentan historias similares a la tuya, haci茅ndote sentir comprendido y menos solo. Hay libros que te motivan a hacer algo por ti mismo para mejorar, los libros siempre son enriquecedores y no da帽an el cerebro como las redes sociales, de hecho son un verdadero ejercicio para el cerebro, recientemente comenc茅 a leer libros tambi茅n en otros idiomas para mejorar mis habilidades ling眉铆sticas. Luego, obviamente, tambi茅n leo mucho por puro placer y para relajarme y me encanta cuando un libro me involucra tanto que me quedo despierta hasta tarde por la noche o espero el momento en que pueda sentarme y leer en paz. Esto es lo que me ayuda en los d铆as grises 驴y a ti? 驴Cu谩les son tus ant铆dotos contra la infelicidad?
