Ladies what do you do when you just feel "off"?

Eat right (for me, veggies and fruit), get rest, and go within and deal with thoughts and feelings. I do what I call the Hecate work. Hecate is the goddess of the crossroads. I imagine myself looking back where I came from, where I am, and where I want to go or might go. Helps give perspective!

Personally I watch things that make me really laugh! Not movies or comedians, but like... animals or really little kids or wholesome-ish people doing silly things? Jenna Marbles filled this niche really well before she quit youtube, I wish I could find someone similar whose sense of humour I liked.

Anyway, laughing until you cry or your stomach hurts is weirdly therapeutic and will pick your mood right up (at least for a little while)

I have a lot of “me” time until I’m ready to meet people. I don’t talk or see people until I’m ready. I go shopping, watch movies, eat whatever I want, and do whatever I need to make myself happy. Last week: I decided to leave my tennis club early because I realized I wasn’t happy and didn’t want my hobby to turn into a chore. I stopped talking to people unless I had to for work. I wore better clothes and took care of my body. I bought healthier food. In addition, I dressed better, comfier, and wore makeup.

Today I woke up with a 10 minutes morning meditation/affirmation and then I ran for 45 minutes with calming music. The evenings I like to curl up in my bed, watch a tv show or tv reality, knit and/or have an occasional glass of wine. I like reading as well. Basically all of this can be summed up by spending quality time with myself. These last few years, it has become a real source of strength, extremely handy when I feel off.

Few things that help me when I’m in a funk: 1. Move. I’m an exercise evangelist but I believe it’s rare to regret doing a workout - whether it’s a brisk walk around the block or a cardio session. Moving your body will work wonders for your mind 2. Give. Pay someone a compliment. Donate some clothes to your local charity shop. Give away something you no longer need. It doesn’t have to be big. But giving back and making someone else feel good is the shit 3. Change your space. I think a tidy place = tidier mind. Even if it’s a change of bedding or decor. Something small can tweak your mood

I watch documentaries. Mostly astronomy. Worst case scenario it distracts me, in the best cases it gives me perspective.

I make something. I'll build one of the projects on my list, paint something or sew something. Nothing perks me up like being able to create something with my hands. Right now I'm working on a larger scale hydroponic tower garden for growing salad greens and kitchen herbs. Mostly because finding good ones at grocery is becoming difficult, but also because the seasons are changing and my patio containers won't produce in a few weeks.

All the suggestions are great. Only thing I’ll add is if you can feel the fog of depression settling over you and you have zero motivation to be active whether by walking or any sort of physical activity, listen to music. But make sure it’s dance music, this is subjective of course, but any sort of music that makes YOU want to dance. I prefer to do this with headphones on my off days. Just lay in bed listening to uptempo music, don’t listen to sad bluesy stuff. Eventually the endorphins will get you up and dancing. Eventually the dancing will also give you much needed dopamine. That’s how I “trick” my brain.

I accept today I feel shit but it's likely going to pass by tomorrow

eat pastry and watch youtube vids

What I do in my free time is watch a good serie or tv, exercise at home or outside, nap 30 minutes to 1 hour, eat my food without watching anything but just looking at my food, read books and I also like to paint.

I try to keep myself busy and distracted, then rest a lot. I pet my dog, that always helps.
