What are some everyday activities that I can do to help combat depression?

Tell yourself 10-20 positive things about yourself every morning when you wake up, eg "I am the best, I look amazing, I am smart, I am successful, etc..." Exercise regularly, get enough sleep, have proper meals

You know those things you used to do when you were happy but just don't feel like doing right now? Do those things anyway! If they are things you enjoy, you will still enjoy them, even if it doesn't seem like it right now. The important thing is continually seek to put yourself in those good and positive situations. By doing that, you are giving yourself the opportunity and the permission to feel better, and eventually you'll find yourself coming around.

For me, I stick to simple things that I can do with little to no cost. Reading a book, watching a funny movie, going for a walk or bike ride, playing fetch with my dog, doing yard work, turning the music up loud and singing and dancing around the house, taking pictures, painting, drawing, colouring, doing crafts of some kind.

Do some hobbies you enjoy, exercise, take baths and do some things you enjoy. Hang out with your family and friends and distract yourself from the negative thoughts

Not everyone who deals with emotional challenges are going to be the same. One thing might not work for another. Only you are the best judge of you. The goal could be to find something you like and can help to re-direct your mind. Such as journaling, reading, volunteering, or any activity that is healthy and positive to your situation. Also finding support groups to talk with others who may be feeling the same can help. If one finds that their feelings are becoming to overwhelming, the best thing to do would be to seek the advice of a professional healthcare provider for further assistance such as counseling or therapy or whatever you decide together to get you though to a better and more positive place.

Learn to be happy with yourself, find new hobbies, see the good in life. Outweigh the gold from the bad :)

Although it may feel like the last thing you want to do, exercise releases 'feel good' hormones called endorphins. If you can't face going for a jog, run up and down the stairs a few times. Chances are (apart from feeling tired) you'll feel invigorated, slightly at least. You could follow that with a soak in a warm bath which will relax your muscles. Play your favourite music that reminds you of happy times. If you have a favourite book or favourite genre, you can temporarily get lost in the power of of your imagination. Thinking positive doesn't come easily when fighting depression, but writing your thoughts and feelings down may help to in structuring your thoughts.

Jigsaw puzzles. I don't know what it is, but my mind really seems to clear when I am putting together a puzzle. I usually try to pair that with an audio book or a podcast and one of my favorite teas. It's a great activity to wind down in the evening after work.

Walking, Socializing, Going out in general, Listening to music, Going out to breakfast, Hanging around animals, helping others and etc are all great ways to combat depression

Taking bath's, cuddling with your pets, eating lots of ice cream or draw/write about how you feel. =)

Sports like Basketball, Baseball, Soccer, Volleyball, you can also go hiking and see how great out world looks.

I would say physical activity!! Getting out and being active is said to be a great activity for anyone battling depression. Not only does it help you become healthy, but it is also distracting from the negativity in your life and makes you feel great!

Go to bed on time, get up out of bed on time in the morning. Have breakfast, take a shower. Go for a walk. The most important thing is to get your everyday structure back. People who are depressed most of the times don't have their daily structure. So they need to find it again.

You can try taking a walk, watching a movie, reading a book, really anything that keeps your mind occupied.

When I was depressed a few years ago I got a punching bag. So when I got angry or upset I went to my bag and just went crazy on the thing! It helped me get rid of some anger and gave me a good workout!!

Any form of exercise is good. Go for a bike ride or a walk, hit the gym, go for a swim anything like that should help. Also eating and sleeping right is very helpful.

Depression is hard to combat, but by staying positive, staying active and healthy, and being outgoing and physically doing things will help depression.

For me writing really helps I mean a blank page is the only thing that I can trust with all I ft feelings and secrets

Some things that I like to do are just practice my hobbies, listen to good music, and just try to think about good things in my life.

Invest some time in sport, even running or cycling for 15 minutes will help you clear your mind and put away the sadness / fear.
