"Lovely post OP. I'd add another to the list: 11. Get outside! Being 'in the green', whether it's your garden, a city park, the countryside etc has a really positive effect on your mental health. Even lying down on a patch of grass can lower your blood pressure. I like the woods best. Nell" I think stroking a cat or dog does that too, makes people feel like they aren't alone. I'm glad they take pets into some Nursing Homes for the residents. | |||

Nell" Realistically though, saying that 'going outside' is helpful for mental health issues is like saying that 'going outside' is helpful for someone with heart failure or a broken arm. It doesn't take into consideration the fact that many mental health issues are chemical imbalances in the brain that are not cured by doing things that make you feel good - the problem is still there. And you often don't feel good if you have serious problems. | |||

When I am unwell I have to force myself to get out of bed and going for a walk feels like climbing Everest. Just as climbing Everest is one step at a time, so is the journey to good mental health. If you didn't see it, it's worth watching 'The Doctor Who Gave Up Drugs' and the cold water swimming treatment. | |||

And you often don't feel good if you have serious problems." I was merely adding to a list of possible ways in which people can, if possible, minimize the symptoms of mental illness alongside therapy and/or medication. There are a few recent studies that show really positive results when people with mental ill-health spend time outside. Of course it's not a cure, especially for those of us who have a chemical imbalance, but it has been found to be a good coping strategy. Mind even runs Ecotherapy courses because the benefits of nature based activities are quite significant. As far as I'm aware there haven't been any studies on the effects of nature on broken arms and heart failure. Here are the findings of one particular study: http://news.stanford.edu/2015/06/30/hiking-mental-health-063015/ | |||

"Problem is, when you are feeling so rubbish, the last thing you want is all the positivity-exercise-outdoorsy-stuff." Absolutely. I find it almost impossible to eat properly when I'm bad, and accepting 'who you are' when in the depths of depression and unable perceive anything with clarity is, again, almost impossible. | |||
