Strange things that I have found help kick my depressions ass

Actually making breakfast. cereal wont cut it. Cook an egg and have a fruit with it. I’m serious.

Get at least 1 house chore done a day, even if its tiny. Cleaned 3 cups? Better than no cups and now you’re 3 cups cleaner. You did that.

Washing my face with a towel. I don’t get it either but it makes me feel good.

Limiting media intake. 1 anime a day before work is the limit. Still get the fun stuff you like, regularly, just limited, so you don’t feel like you’re wasting time.

Grow something. Like even if its just a single flower. It came to life because you grew it, took care of it, nurtured it. You did that.

Time alone. I’m like, a hyper introvert so I gotta have an hour to myself alone every day, minimum.

HOLY HELL GO TO BED ON TIME.

Reminding yourself it’s okay to make mistakes when trying something new, or even something not new. Mistakes just mean your learning. If you don’t make mistakes, you can’t learn anything. It’s necessary.

Do your hobbies regularly, but limit them. Drawing 10 hours a day with a job 5 days a week isn’t healthy, and only leads to several week long burnouts and artblock.

Also, not fully completing work. I tend to leave 1 thing that I really wanted to get done for tomorrow, so I have a motive to wake up in the morning. Like doing the dishes, but skipping cleaning the microwave that day. Do the microwave tomorrow. (and that helps me from doing something, cowardly, again)

Stop. Listening. To. Sad. Music. If you feel bad, purposely listen to more positive, upbeat, good vibe music. Don’t cave to the feels. Don’t.

List probably won’t work for everyone, but maybe some of these things that are weird things that I do will help you.
