Might Change The Username

If someone else is mostly in charge of preparing the meals you eat, think about one small way you could help out. Make a plan to offer to help. Who would you talk to? When would you offer to help?

If you have any plants check them and see if they need water. If you don't have plants think about whether you would like to have some.

Go outside and look at the sky

If you haven’t already done so today, put on some deodorant.

If you haven’t seen the sunlight yet today, go outside. Try to get about 30 minutes of light every morning.

Take 3 slow deep breaths. Make your exhale last longer than your inhale.

Get the amount of sleep you need to feel rested. As you heal, gently encourage yourself to do more activities without over-tiring yourself.

If you haven’t eaten in the last 4 hours, eat something.

Remind yourself that depression is not your fault. It is not because you are weak, or a "loser". Remember, depression is an illness with symptoms like any other illness. It affects your feelings, thoughts, behaviours and your body. The good news is that many things can help. Research shows that using several approaches provides the best outcome. These include medication, therapy and self-management activities. The Coping Methods section of this app (Booster Buddy) lists some helpful self-management activities.

Not Sure

What will you donate? Where will you take it? When will you take it there?

Take a photo of something beautiful.

Put some lotion or cream on your hands or face.

Spend a few minutes getting started (Getting started is enough, but you can do more if you want.)

Think of one book you're interested in reading and write it down. If you don't have any ideas look online on goodreads.com Or search "good books to read"
