Opposite to emotion action. I force myself to do something I don't want to do or think I can't do, like give my son a bath or do the dishes, and then I reward myself with something dumb like lying on the couch staring blankly for half an hour. You just have to push yourself to do what you don't want to do. Right now to me it makes perfect sense bc I'm not depressed but I know when I was depressed a month ago it would have seemed like terrible advice. And unfortunately I don't think it helps the overall mood. But it helps for a little while.
