Depression can keep you from doing the things you love. Even the smallest things like taking a shower can take a lot out of you.
But, there are some things you can do to help yourself feel better.
1. Write
Write about how you are feeling. I do this a lot, and it helps me every time
2. Take a hot bath
Just sit there and relax. Let your mind wander
3. Take a walk
Talk a short walk to clear your mind
4. Pet a dog
I mean...I think this one is self-explanatory
5. Make yourself something to eat
It's another one of those things that seems hard to do at times. But everyone has to eat
6. Change your clothes
Put on some clean clothes, laying around in the same clothes you've had on for the last three days won't help
7. Listen to music
I've always found that listening to music is everything. There is always a song for whatever you are feeling
8. Talk to someone
Whether it's your mom or your neighbor, talk to someone. Shutting yourself in your room with no social interaction will only make things worse
9. Read
Books are always a great escape
10. Watch a tv show that you enjoy
Even if it's that episode you've seen three times, do it. If it makes you happy, do it.
