How Hobbies Helped Me Find My Way Back

There was a time when I lived a cheerful life. Never wanted or asked for more than a ordinary life. Loved my basic, smart working life. But where things went wrong? Was I really happy back then?

I wanted to die as I was a helpless, lonely person without any hope and believe me, I had no choice but to die. It was really difficult to keep struggling on inside when I was surrounded by so many people but there was actually no one.

I had lots and lots of dark feelings which didn’t let me go off around freely. I was living into this mess of loneliness since the last few months. But no one was aware about my sufferings, not even a single person knew what horrible mess I was on inside.

Was it right to live a depressing life?
Or
Was death the only way to end all of this?

Then I thought why would I do something that won’t even leave a chance to regret later. Somehow I managed to see a hope to live a happy life.

I pinned down exactly what was going on in my mind, and why these lonely dark feelings made me feel the way I did. Though I could not find the answer all alone. But yes, I found exactly what was going on with my mind. I took help from a professional and I began opening up to my friends and family about how I was going through such mess having all those dark feelings.

By finding new hobbies and opening up about the situations I used to get lonely in, now I am able to turn them from something horrific into something I am able to laugh about in front of everyone.

It was the hardest thing to do but you know, when you start thinking that negativity is just more than a funny phase of your life, it changes your way of living. Meditating ,sketching and regular workouts not only help you to maintain your physical health but mental health too. It reduced my depression, anxiety and negative mood, also it relieved stress.

When I chose mental health as my priority, believe me, regular workouts improved my self-esteem and now I have my more confident about myself. I practiced mindfulness on daily basis which helped me to manage my feelings and thoughts.Finally I was able to find myself back

As you know negative thoughts stop you from being the real you, make every single choice difficult, and you suffer in every situation you find yourself in. Don’t surrender your mental health to negativity, don’t let it affect you in any way. Just don’t let these dark times stop you from enjoying the world out there.
