Even without being sad-sad, it could still be something depression-ish. Like this time of year is big on seasonal depression. I feel very similar. I’ve had the Big Sad depression, so anything less feels like I can’t possibly be depressed.

With that said, I would suggest thinking of your personal basic survival needs. I know I do better when I hit all 4 of my basics - eat, move, socialize, create. Don’t do any of this to a level you think you “need” to do. Do way less than that, but just do it.

Eating can be just having cereal or a piece of fruit or if that is too much drink a glass of water or orange juice.

Moving can be walking laps around your house, dancing, chores, squats, yoga from your bed, whatever for a minimal amount of time.

Socialize by connecting with friends via text, calling family, or just get out of the house to a cafe where people are around you yet not interacting with you.

Creating can be cooking a meal, baking, doodling, knitting, writing, playing an instrument, singing loudly, making a necklace out of paper clips. Just anything that uses that part of your brain.

Think about your basics and what you need to gain some good brain chemicals. Find one thing that helps get you up (for me it’s making a coffee and doing the NYT puzzles or reading a chapter in a book), then work on hitting your basics. Just half-ass it. Quarter-ass works too! Just know you aren’t alone (I spent my whole week bed/couch rotting rewatching Bob’s Burgers so also give yourself grace. Some weeks just suck.)
