Think about the most meaningful and enthusiastic thing for you.. And work to achieve it. Get a pet or a friend. Try on with some motivational or funny videos. Be creative and cook different or invent different kind of foods. Play some music, dance with yourself and take a long shower with a redbull hehe you'll be fine

The worst thing you can do is stay home, in your room all alone and contemplate about how miserable you are. If you cannot stop your mind from going that direction, try to keep yourself busy. Go out and do something. For example, go ride your bike across town, go hike in the mountains with your dog or your sibling, get a gym subscription and lift lift those weight, join a yoga class, etc. Plenty of things you can do which affects your mental health without you even realizing it.

Try to go out on a public outing. Surround yourself with people even if you don't engage in any conversation. Realize that you are not alone but there are billions of people on this earth, many with the same fears, concerns, and feelings that you have.

I find that painting what I feel at that time, always makes me feel better. A walk in nature is a great way to calm down for me, too.

When I'm lonely or a bit blue, I like to listen to music and even dance if I'm in the mood. I usually just put on my favorite record and pretty much just dance around my room like a complete idiot for a few minutes. It always lifts me up! It's up to you, though. Whatever make YOU happy!

Stay with the people who you know care for you, and if you can't, don't stay focused on the negative thoughts and feelings, even if you don't feel like it, even if it seems impossible, because the more you keep on feeling sad, the worse is gonna get: it's a downward spiral.
Keep in mind that the negativity is not you. The depression is not you. Do something, whatever, to distract yourself, even if you feel tired and just want to sleep forever and never wake up.
Go out to take a walk. Listen to some music you like, possibly not angsty. Write down your feelings, worries, fears. Watch funny videos on yt, or browse Tumblr for cat photos :) or just have a chat with someone here on 7cups.
Since depression can't be switched off at comand, maybe doing all of this won't help. Maybe you'll just keep on being depressed. But there's still the chance it might be otherwise, and it's worth giving it a try
