* Baby steps. If it seems overwhelming, I break it down into smaller tasks. If those are overwhelming, I break it down again until I have something I can accomplish.
* Suspend judgment. Try not to look at most things as good or bad, especially depression.
* Immerse myself in beauty: nature, music, whatever is beautiful to me.
* Do one thing I would do if I weren't depressed
However, I still have a LOT of trouble functioning when I'm depressed, even small daily tasks are just too much sometimes. So I'd love to hear more tips!
