Hiking There VS Back
Added 2024-05-22 19:59:23 +0000 UTCHi friends! My birthday is this Friday and I’ve been really struggling with depression. I forced myself to go on my first hike ever and it was so rewarding ❤️ I plan on hiking quite a bit this summer! Here’s a picture of Silver Falls (where I hiked), you can walk behind the giant waterfall!

2024-05-23 13:27:41 +0000 UTCLove walking/hiking in nature! Just gotta prep my thighs beforehand to avoid the dreaded thigh chaffing. Gold Bond Friction Defense is a godsend. Nature does the same; really helps my depression. Love hearing the birds sing. Good for you taking that step!

2024-05-23 03:07:54 +0000 UTCHappy birthday, and I hope the depression beast lets up for a while. I know with me it's all cyclical, and it never truly goes away even with my meds and self-care. But I hope you can find some joy! I went to Silver Falls once and it's gorgeous! Walking behind that waterfall was super cool

2024-05-22 20:37:16 +0000 UTCI did the whole 10 mile loop about 5 years ago. I still think about the beauty of those waterfalls.

2024-05-22 20:25:13 +0000 UTCHappy birthday! I love Silver Falls! There’s one particular trail that had it out for me a few years back. It went up and up for HOURS! Glad you made it through!

2024-05-22 20:08:36 +0000 UTCHiking loop trails can help with this, since it’s not the same thing there and back!

2024-05-22 20:07:48 +0000 UTCHappy early birthday! Greatest gift you can give yourself is love, kindness and time 🎉🎂🎈❣ I hope the fresh air helps and you find yourself again. When I battled depression, walking always helped me, and sunsets. Those colors and the changing sky always reminded me of a tomorrow, and of hope. Sending you all my best wishes and birthday vibes! I hope you, Carlson and the Addams family zoo can all enjoy a celebration... you and your life are SO ABSOLUTELY worth celebrating! 💕

2024-05-22 20:02:03 +0000 UTCForcing myself to regularly workout has been the most reliable source of dopamine and keeps me away from social media for a good chunk of time. Plus music!
