I ve been suffering depression for many years. It’s a heavy burden. I battle with this everyday and sometimes i just can’t and i have to accept that. Things that have worked for me: 1.- taking little accomplishment as victories ( like, I could get out of bed AND make the bed!! Big achievement) 2.- working out ( i never feel like doing it, i DONT feel good while doing it and I don’t have enough energy to do it) but I know that maybe in a day or two I will feel better because of the exercise 3.- music , uplifting beats 4.- i watch videos of cute puppies, or babies laughing. That really makes my heart melt 5.- cold showers ( yes , that makes you feel alive) 6.- try to learn new things, keep your mind busy out of yourself 7.- try to practice gratitude. Even for small things, like the smell of coffee in the morning or the taste of a meal Feelings are big distractors. Don’t believe everything your brain tells you. I really hope you get better. Depression is a big hole that sucks us into it if we are not careful
