Thank you everyone for your time and solutions!
It really makes me feel I am not alone in this. However reason of my depressed mood was something personal but still you guys sent me all those advises which really helped me.

I want to share what I have done to cheer me up yesterday.

  • I took a long bath and organised my thoughts. Lot of crying happened but do you know tears contain a number of stress hormones and other chemicals so when you cry you release this stress.
  • I had my comfort food. I agreed junk food have many disadvantages but I believe if you are feeling sad then you have to give yourself some treats. (btw my comfort food is noodles 🍜)
  • I have watched my favourite show (nowadays I'm watching bridgerton). There are also stress reliveing videos on internet. Some like to watch kittens and some like to watch oddly satisfying videos.
  • In the end, I did some night yoga with light music. It was very soothing. 😊
