Develop a wellness toolbox
Come up with a list of things that you can do for a quick mood boost. Include any strategies, activities, or skills that have helped in the past. The more “tools” for coping with depression, the better. Try and implement a few of these ideas each day, even if you’re feeling good:

Spend some time in nature
List what you like about yourself
Read a good book
Watch a funny movie or TV show
Take a long, hot bath
Take care of a few small tasks
Play with a pet
Write in your journal
Listen to music
Do something spontaneous

i know depression can cause me to have no motivation at all. even attempting the smallest task at first i believe gives me encouragement to keep trying. it can be a really, really small thing. sometimes that's all we can do at first. like just going for a short walk, etc.
i'm glad you posted cause so many of us can relate to how you are feeling. we're here for you

and i encourage you to keep posting...get it out here at pc. it helps!
lots of hugs coming your way
