Books are good company for me.
Also, when I get sad or depressed, I move around - as in exercise. Learn Tai Chi or chair yoga.
Now the weather prevents a lot of outside activities, even though I like cold weather, I’m not fond of wind.
Journal, draw, clean out a drawer; I have learned that for me, any activity keeps me from spiraling 🌀
