I've had severe depression for 10 years and I believe doing stuff truly helps your mental state.it releases endorphins the feel goods in your body.

Just so hard to get going and stay moving

Yeah it is. I force myself most days. Even just sitting on the back deck helps me.

@KDOGG331 do you know who was talking about using the grocery bags the reusable ones to plant plants in?

I found about four or five of them that were no longer using and I wanted to use them.

Definitely does.

I miss having my weekends where I could go walk around the stores. I was thinking about wearing my mask and going to a big huge greenhouse this weekend to walk around and get some veggie plants.

We have so much to do this weekend though. I have to put together our new coop, set up roosts in the new coop, visit my parents, we have eggs hatching like crazy so I have to put them all in the brooder, and the puppy needs a grooming.

That should help the blues that I have.

It is really hard to make yourself but once you do it's such a help. Sometimes I found it good to Have things I have no choice but to do. It forces me to get up. As much as sometimes We don't want to or feel like I can't if it's something obligated you're forced to and that's a step
( animals, charities, side jobs). Which all of that would probably be easier when things go back to normal
Nature and music always have a special way to one soul also

I’ve been trying to force myself to do stuff lately too. It’s rainy today so can’t really go outside but I’ve been busy planting more seeds (already planted a ton a few weeks ago but still have some more) and cleaning the brooder and budgie cage so far today. it’s definitely helping. Oh and I forced myself eat and drink immediately real food too.

I agree!!! Taking care of the animals is sometimes the only thing I end up doing but it gets me moving especially since I have so many now aha. And I too love nature and music. I miss concerts though but I’m so happy it’s spring and warm and I can be outside more

I’m not really sure. I think it might have been @SnapdragonQ maybe????

Yes! We have a lot of outdoor birds like chickens, quail, turkeys, and ducks... So I always feed them every single day and water them no matter what my mood is because they always brighten my day. It gets me out of the house even though I'm still technically on our property. Plus right now all of my chickens are laying eggs especially the new ones so it's awesome to go outside and find new eggs.

I actually just put a new layer's egg into the incubator and I have no idea if it is my Bantam Brahma or somebody else. So I'm excitedly waiting for them to hatch.

Well I am going to try it today with some seeds because I have a ton of seeds that we had got and I didn't plant them all yet. I was planning on doing turnips, beats, eggplant, and some other things.

I'm going all out this year with plants because we really have no choice. I can't just go walk into a grocery store and buy tons of fruits and vegetables like I used to do. I don't even trust the fruits and vegetables at the store at this point because everybody touches them.
