I use this craft to beat manic episodes , I tend not to get the lows , maybe the odd few days when I think everyone's out to get me or my families in danger , but for me making stuff seems to be the easiest way to fill time & stop me being negative, it might work for people with depression because you have an end product ... I also find using a walking tracker , so I set my phone up to count my steps while I am at work & I find myself wanting to do more steps the next day
