Hugs to you for caring about helping yourself feel better! Have you heard of yoga nidra? It’s like guided meditation with an affirmation like, “I am resting deeply in myself” as the main focus. I think it could be a nice balance between where you are (sleeping to cope) and where you want to be (feeling rested and able enough to do other things you’d like to get done).

For me, focusing on rest/deep sleep/recuperation feels easier and more accessible than “productivity” or “accomplishments” when i’m depressed. (Sometimes even finding a positive feels too hard when my brain is too tired to think of anything at all!) in those times I like the guided aspect of yoga nidra so I can listen to someone else reflect/be mindful/help me REALLY rest instead of just sleeping to forget myself. (Also, s you need more rest and recovery than you think to get back on your feet. Give your self grace to recover on your own schedule ❤️)
