Tips for Coping

Hi all, I was just diagnosed with depression recently and I just wanted some tips on how to cope with it. Personally, I feel like the worst part for me is losing interest in all the things I used to enjoy.

I used to enjoy trying new things during my days off but its different now. I just sleep in and Ive stopped looking forward to being able to watch new movies or to listen to new songs. Sometimes, Im not even in the mood to play mobile games like Im used to.

Its just frustrating because my friends and I have been planning for an overseas trip for awhile and Ive always been looking forward to it, but now that its so close and with my depression being this unstable, I just find it really tiring to plan for the trip and I really dont care if I get to travel or not.

Im also caught up in the fear that Ill have trouble waking up for work in the morning.

So if youve any suggestions, I open to recommendations. Im currently already on medication and CBT but nothing feels like its working. I feel like I cant cope anymore.

Thanks everyone.
