smoking , Alcohol, drugs , caffeine etc are the elements that give us dopamine and helps us to fight with dipression and anxiety but it's depends on person to person so don't you think that all these things are good if you consume it in limit even hospital industry , tax collection , food industry and many aspects of Indian economy is directly connected with these things so let's consume it and help our country to become 5 trillion dollars economy asap

whenever i feel low, i meditate for about 30 minutes and observe my thoughts and feelings. After that, i feel relaxed 😌

I left drinking in June 2022 and since than I barely have 2-4 pegs a year. Totally social. Left smoking Dec'22. Haven't touched a ciggrate since. I don't remember ever going back to these vices for coping. I do remember that first 3-4 months of leaving ciggrate was very difficult because you would miss those moments. When I am sad or feeling low I go for a run, workout, eat healthy, eat something exciting. You don't need these poisons. You think you do, you really don't.

Have no idea what's addictive on the other side. Only know its health downsides, which the biggest leaders too are endorsing against lately. A few things work best: Accept the feeling. Sleep. Go out in nature. Talk to people who stay with you at your best/lowest, can be parents/siblings also.

workout, meditate,

I go on a walk. It reduces stress and brings me back to normal.

I just have a good sleep. 🙂 It doesn't matter what is happening in your life, sleep will take you away from all of your stress

I just scroll insta and watch reels to forget and change my nasty mind 😊 , insta memes also helped me to overcome depression

Tbh I don't have any answer to this, maybe the mind has trained in its own to accept and fight back with sick issues .

Cold showers or Sad songs both are pretty relaxing.

Do the things that make you happy. In the case of my i prefer to go to the ground and play any sports or running until I am exhausted.

Just think away and be at peace 😌

Binge watch tv shows

Sleeping makes me feel better whenever I feel low or depressed.

Tea, Coffee or Movie.

So basically when I'm feeling low or tensed one thing I do just get relaxed and drink water and start thinking about something else like what good things happen with you and how it's going to benefit to you that's it.

I never smoked or consumed alcohol. However, I consumed extreme levels of coffee. faced problems (gastrointestinal). Currently I watch cartoons/go out for a walk whenever am feeling low.

When I’m feeling low, I call my best friend. Just venting or having a random conversation helps. It’s the desi way of therapy – talk it out.

I just plug in my earphones and listen to some soothing music or whatever matches my mood. Indian classical or even some lo-fi beats help calm me down

I agree, that these stuffs do help you deal with stress and depressions. But we must also agree that it's just for a short period and again it comes back. So ideally, the only way to deal with it properly, is to learn how to fight your mind. it's the mind that decides stress. alcoholic drugs and all might help u to deal with stress but later in life you'll have to deal with the consequences of having those things. The decision is yours!
