What little steps can I take to get back up after a depressive episode? I feel lost
Hi, everyone. I hope you are all having a beautiful Saturday. I don't want to take too much time out of your day. I had a bad week, after a few struggling ones. But this week really crushed me. I feel lost and drained entirely. I can not even tie my shoes right now to go for a walk.
What little steps can I take to get back up again? I can not think of anything. Thank you for your suggestions.
❤️
Hey. We all experience bad days. Don't feel weighed down by it. Try positive self talk like telling yourself you are safe and strong and things like that which can get you moving. Take rest - that too is important. Sending you power.
@Creamyyy Thank you so much. I will put myself first the next few days. I really need that.

I am extending an invitation to you to join me in the Sharing Circle chat room 😊.
I have depression and I listened to a lot of sad songs, they helped make me feel understood, but i stopped listenting to them and picked up exciting songs instead like “Imagine dragons’ Whatever it takes” It helped me get my energy and motivation back to do some homework. But If I find that i dont have energy to cook or boring tasks I watch youtube or listen to music while I cook along with a timer and stand next to the pan so i dont burn my house. Also having someone live with you helps relieve low energy levels, loneliness and dark thoughts. You can ask them to help with dishes for example. I also found that watching youtube while studying is distracting but makes the task more fun.
Basically: 1-reduce sad music and listen to hype music 2-do something exciting while doing a boring task 3-invite a friend over 4-Make tasks simpler like wear sandals or shoes u dont have to tie, and make meals with less steps.
