Distraction is OK but it has to be done very often and it doesnt always work. Distraction doesnt solve the issue, it helps cope with it. i think all issues should be confronted and addressed in a counterproductive way.Originally Posted by Aspasia
There’s nothing wrong with doing something that helps cope. And not all issues can be confronted and addressed immediately, so whatever we can do to cope......
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

Distraction can stop someone from self harming or killing themselves. Distraction is a very important coping strategy.

This is so true! I wish I knew about that sooner. Last time I used to just sit in my room and complained how life is boring. But now, I go out and try to find new projects to do. I always keep myself busy now!

when you came crossed your depression you can also just go to sleep. it will heal as you woke up. sleeping help relaxing the body. sometimes, you feel depressed because you're tired.
Music everytime for me, listening to...and attempting to play the guitar. I also like to meditate...helps me realize that my thoughts are not me... they can just be observed. Keeping my mind in the present moment, consciously, is a helpfull skill i find
