You are stronger than you believe - we all are. The question really is - do you want to be as strong as you can be? It's when that answer turns to "no" the danger becomes real - but deep down the majority of us say "yes" even when our mouths say "no". So really think about that before you answer- because the thing is, once you say "yes" - you commit yourself to a journey that is full of struggle n hardships n pain, but one that is very much able to be overcome or at tge very least improved upon. So I ask you now - do you want to be as strong as you can be?
If that answer is yes:
Sit down, figure out a daily routine that you can do that isn't asking a whole lot of extra exertion from you at the moment and that would provide you with both activity, enjoyment, n relaxation time.
Do a bit of research online and find out what foods you may be eating that would allow your depression to grow stronger n replace them with some tgat would help fight the depression but that you would also enjoy eating.
Figure out at least 3 things you enjoy doing that you can do from time to time during your relaxation time or when you start to become depressed.
Figure out at least 3 relaxation techniques that you would not mind using either when you find it hard to rest or when you are getting depressed.
Get a piece of paper and write "You are a good person." then list 10 things that you think are good about you - doesn't matter what they are: appearance, personality, etc - and then write "I love you!" hang that paper on a mirror just to the side at eye level and recite it outloud to yourself at least 3 times a day for a week (plus any other time you find yourself thinking you are a bad person) then 2 times a day for a week (plus any other time you find yourself thinking you are a bad person) and then 1 time a day for a week (plus any other time you find yourself thinking you are a bad person) and then from there just anytime you feel you need to until you don't feel the need anymore or very rarely.
Make sure to go to sleep no later than 11pm n get 6-8hrs of sleep.
Constantly tell yourself "I can do this - I am strong."
Believe in yourself!
