My go-to is Conan O'Brien. I credit him for literally saving my life more than once. In my darkest hours I always try to remember to watch a bit of Conan because it'll make me laugh and take my mind off whatever is making it go so negative.

@user_cha272278 – I go to my husband, who has never failed to help make me feel better. And also I post on my blog!

Tips on helping deal with depression is key.I go down my trusty self care list which consist of the following: Cooking my favorite meal,I watch silly movies,call up family and friends for a lil chit chat,writing in my gratitude journal(I find at least one thing I'm grateful for),meditation,yoga/tai chi,and sometimes a good brisk walk while listening to music.I hope this will help.Blessings to all.Never give up.
I like the Refuges! I take refuge in the fact that my poor brother in Wisconsin is lving in -17 BELOW weather, and down here in NC it was just 70 degrees this last week. I take refuge in our back yard pets. We have bluebird families. …. I once saw Bill Murray rolling around on the ground in central park, ACTING like he was frolicking with a squirrel. I thought to myself What a nut UNTIL I saw the SNL film crew taping the scene for TV that weekend. so with that in mind, I have followed Bill Murray in Caddy Shack, Little shop of horrors, etc. What is your REFUGE?

I like what you said about your Refuge I think everyone needs a refuge place, it's mind over matter , after all mind is the builder it's your thoughts that come alive

@rubenzer @lioness Recently I had a piece of Dove chocolate. You know the kind, a rounded off little square in foil, with a saying inside. In that little foil were the words, "You are the sculptor of your dreams." How true. We need to recognize our strengths, and find those refuge places. I disappear in to my creativity, or a good book, or let it all out on the pages of my journal. Squirreling myself away from others helps the anxiety and stress simmer down.
