I've spent a few days working in the garden recently. It's relaxing and calming. It's reminded me of a time a few years ago when I was anything but calm. Very unlike me, I headed to the doctor convinced I needed anti-depressants. I just wasn't coping. After trying them for a day or two and feeling more unwell on them I decided no meds. I needed to conquer this myself. So I took myself into mother nature. She helped to heal me and calm me. I started seeing the beauty around me, the birds singing, the calming green of the bush. Exercise, mother nature and taking myself away from social media for awhile really worked. I'm not on meds still today. Instead I deal with my mental health with good food, a few key supplements like magnesium and time spent in nature. It works really well.
