Hi 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!

Forcing 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!

I TOTALLY get your drawing...I'm all for the hike in the beginning, it's the walk back down that kicks my butt 😉.... Happy early Birthday 🥳

Happy Early Birthday!!💕 I hope you get more awesome pictures when you go on your hikes☺️ That waterfall is amazing!

Happy 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! 💕

Hiking loop trails can help with this, since it’s not the same thing there and back!

That looks like Silver Falls in Oregon. Beautiful hike, but long indeed.

It is! Hike about killed me because I forgot my inhaler. But all these cute old people kept cheering me in as I finished the hike!

Happy 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!

I did the whole 10 mile loop about 5 years ago. I still think about the beauty of those waterfalls.

Forgot to add, hope you celebrate your birthday in an enjoyable fashion!

Happy early birthday! Sorry depression is acting up; we get it. Just take care of yourself, however that looks. 💚

Happy 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

Love 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!

Great job!

Happiest of Birthdays Meg! When struggling while feeling low I found forcing myself to to be outside and going for walks to be extremely beneficial. Especially if I challenged myself to be present in my environment rather than rerunning negative thoughts.
