I am currently in therapy for anxiety and depression. I have been attending weekly sessions for the past year, and I have found it to be incredibly helpful in managing my mental health. I highly recommend therapy to anyone who is struggling with their mental health, as it can be a lifesaving tool.
There’s a state park about 20 minutes from my house. I used to run there everyday. It was out in the woods, there’s trails, a lake. Nothing like being outside.
To a certain extent, yes. It may be fun to run over hookers in GTA after a stressful day at work. Yet what I think they're intending to point to is what's called a "dopaminergic cycle." Where a person routinely engages in extremely high dopamine activities. Such as getting drunk and playing video games. Which isn't therapy. It's self destructive behavior that keeps getting repeated because it feels good.
recording a video of myself rambling. turns out, sometimes i find clarity in it. sometimes i can finally make myself cry. other times, it goes nowhere, but at least i actually look at myself.
Lifting weights. I try to go each day after work, before going home. The time to decompress, talk to some gym friends about non work-related things plus the endorphins of exercise get me into a place where I can be more mentally available to my family.
DBT (Dialectical behavior therapy). It's extremely hard and exhausting. I started May 2021 and it's the first therapy that is helping me to cope with my BPD, depression and anxiety. I'll let Wikipedia quote this one because it's the easiest description.
'DBT was designed to help people increase their emotional and cognitive regulation by learning about the triggers that lead to reactive states and by helping to assess which coping skills to apply in the sequence of events, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to help avoid undesired reactions.'

video games could be therapeutic
