At the bottom of my depression, one of the best things I can do is to distract myself from the outpour of negative thoughts. Often times I'll practice something I'd like to be better at, like playing guitar or piano, or singing or painting! I make sure it's something I enjoy. If there are others around, it always helps to be with them. I'll go sit with one of my parents and watch a show with them, and it makes me feel less alone.

Find someone to lean on. Often social interaction can have a very positive impact on our mood if it is surrounding people who you trust and love

For me there are quite a few ways..... Sometimes I like to listen to music (usually really upbeat and happy), and dance all around even though I can't. Sometimes I like to call up a few friends and chat about our day, look at funny and cute things online, sing, go for a walk, draw, write, etc. You just gotta find what makes you feel better and use it.

I've been to the bottom of that pit too, I'm kind of still at the bottom. But there are lots of things you can do, but I want you to try one in specific, get help. In your times of depression, emotional support is key, believe me, I have depression myself and my friends and family help me out when I feel depressed. When you are depressed, don't push people away, get help. An online therapist, a family member, a trusted friend, or even a listener on 7cups, we're all here to support you and help you through your times of depression.
