To overcome a problem, you need to name it. So first, let's clarify the terms.
What is Stress
According to Wikipedia, "stress (from the English word stress - "load, tension") is a set of non-specific adaptive reactions of the body to adverse factors (physical or psychological) that disrupt its homeostasis. It is a state of tension of the nervous system that occurs in response to stressors. (Sources: 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_(biology 2. https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A1%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%81)
What is Depression
Depression, according to Wikipedia, is a mental disorder characterized by depressed mood, loss of the ability to experience pleasure (anhedonia), apathy, decreased energy and motor Inhibition. This is a pathological condition that, unlike ordinary sadness, requires treatment. (Sources: 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depression_(mood)

First Aid for Stress and Depression
A quick and effective solution to these problems always begins with the physical body, not with a visit to a psychologist or psychiatrist! They treat symptoms in the mind, in the worldview, in assessments and reactions. But often the problem originates in the chemical composition of the blood! And blood, as we know, is a carrier of information. In other words, if the blood composition is balanced, then the mood will be OK. This is called homeostasis or the natural balance of the body's state, when all organs and systems work in harmony. In a normal, routine manner.
Where to start
1. You need to suppress excess cortisol. Increased doses of vitamin C (for example, 2 kiwis at a time) and long, repeated physical movements without exertion (!) (for example, walking for 20 minutes or more) will help break it down. If you don't have any breathing or heart problems, I recommend trying a deep exhalation-deep inhalation-hold for as long as possible-exhale. After this, you'll really feel relief, as if your problems have burned away! Yes, you've burned off excess cortisol, congratulations!
2. At the same time, you need to restore your gut microflora, which is the main supplier of immune cells. To do this, include more fermented milk products such as kefir, natural sugar-free yogurt, sauerkraut, and whey in your diet.
3. Vary your routine every day: if you've been sitting at the computer, clean up, then breathe, drink some tea, and Water.
4. Communicating with the natural elements: water, earth, air, sunlight (fire). This is the Base, from which our body is tuned to receive all the benefits!
5. Add baths and/or lamps with essential oils like rosemary and fir to your rituals!
6. Massage and/or self-massage of the neck muscles is very beneficial, as tension in the body directly affects the psyche.
7. A point at the back of the head, under the base of the skull in the center: press with 1 finger and rotate clockwise to a count of 16. This promotes energetic release/rebooting of the head, so that thoughts become clear and the mind is cleared of anxiety.
What Else is Important!
Yes, if you complete all 7 steps on the list, it will bring short-term relief, but for real relief, you need to repeat these steps every day, preferably 3 times: morning, afternoon, and evening.
Next, I recommend changing your environment and even your time zone (+/- 2 hours from your home time) by moving south. Or north for at least 3 weeks. You can notice how your biochemistry improves if you compare before and after.
Result
A clear head - life is wonderful! Everything in life is beneficial! Even moments like these were needed to stop and change my perspective, my worldview. If my advice helped you, you can donate to these cryptocurrency addresses:
