Depression is an controlling disease. It consumes our everyday lives and the decisions we make. But there are sometimes things we can do to ease the pain.
Read
Anything and everything. Things you've been wanting to read for a while or new things you just found on the shelves of the library.
Hangout with friends
Surround yourself around people who make you feel better. Friends who build you up and make you laugh.
Eat
Sometimes it's the last thing you want to do, but it's important to take care of yourself. Some things might make depression worse, such as caffeine, so pay attention to what affects your body.
Go for a walk
Go for a walk around the block and get some fresh air, this might help clear your mind.
Go out
Sometimes being cooped up in the house can worsen your depression, so go out and enjoy yourself.
Do some self care
Do something that makes you feel good. Try taking a bubble bath or doing a face mask.
Exercise
Exercising has been said to help with depression. Don't hurt yourself, but do something that gets your blood flowing.
Get up
Depression will make you lay in bed all day. So beat it, get up, get yourself moving. It's crazy how much better you'll feel once you but yourself into motion.
Clean
Clean the house. Organize your closet. Do something productive that will make you feel like you accomplished something when you're done. It'll make you feel better.
Take it easy
Don't try to do a hundred things at once. Take it one step at a time. You don't have to complete everything right now, so do your tasks one at a time.
