REMEDIES FOR DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY

-

 The best way to deal with depression and anxiety is to seek professional help. A mental health professional, such as a therapist or counselor, can provide support and guidance for managing these conditions. In addition to seeking professional help, there are several self-care strategies that can help manage depression and anxiety, such as:


Exercise regularly: Regular physical activity has been shown to improve mood and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.


Eat a healthy diet: A well-balanced diet can provide the necessary nutrients to support mental health.


Practice relaxation techniques: Techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, and mindfulness can help reduce stress and improve mood.


Connect with others: Social support is essential for managing depression and anxiety. Connecting with friends and family can provide emotional support and help reduce feelings of isolation.


Get enough sleep: Adequate sleep is essential for mental health. Poor sleep can worsen symptoms of anxiety and depression, so it is important to prioritize getting enough rest.


It is also important to remember that seeking help is not a sign of weakness. It takes courage to acknowledge that you need support and seek out the help you need.

DAY 1

 RAMBLINGS OF AN ISOLATED BINARY Nothing better to start off this journey than a tune from the empty rooms that I stroll through with no audience to play to. Here goes and criticism not required, this is for consumption. “I am unlikely to change, these are my circumstances laid Before me there was only pain, Feelings of being Kane Only wish was to see the universe in flames  I will partake in no blame, my comrades labelled amusing names Such a shame, please I beg, do not take these words in vain No embrace, talk, I will tolerate, it was better just me in my lane Forgive these childish rhymes and games, The Sun shines better in the RAIN” On a serious note, can I get the name, right? Was it being an introvert or antisocial, I never know these days. As a member of either, its always nice to notice all my fellows sharing the same feelings I do when I pop in the twitter timelines. It is the cool trend, I hope it is true because I feel better its not me alone, and all of us alone t...

CONCEPT OF OPPORTUNITY COST

-
  Opportunity cost is the cost of choosing one option over another. It is the value of the next best alternative that is given up as a result of making a decision. For example, if you decide to spend your Saturday afternoon going to the movies, the opportunity cost of that decision is the value of the next best alternative, such as going for a hike or spending time with friends. One common example of opportunity cost is the choice between going to college or not. The cost of attending college includes tuition, books, and other fees. However, the opportunity cost of going to college is the income that could be earned by working instead. If the income from a job is higher than the cost of attending college, then the opportunity cost of going to college is negative. Another example of opportunity cost is the choice between investing in stocks or real estate. The cost of investing in stocks includes brokerage fees and the cost of the stocks themselves. The opportunity cost of investing...
