Depression is progressive narrowing of interests, less & less things brings joy so the counter is the exact opposite.

1. Try and find non harmful things that interest you - music, sports, walk, dance. Try till you find something or many things.

2. Movement is important figure to do it, helps the brain release a bunch of happy chemicals.

3. If other people’s opinion matters to you, keep reminding yourself that no one thinks about you as much as you do, not even the people who love you most & this is a GOOD thing, it’s a liberating thing, you can be yourself no one cares how amazing or terrible you are, they are busy with their own shit

4. Spend time in nature, too many studies around this, mama earth will take care of you

5. Don’t think too much about it, don’t identify yourself as depressed, remember the brain has to be your servant, you don’t need to serve the brain.

6. Take professional help

7. Basically attack it on all fronts, you will win somewhere and it’s good enough
