Good point, stopdog. I'm seeing T tomorrow so that's why I thought of this particular question. But I think it's wise to broaden my query.

Sometimes my friends help. When I can't get out of bed, they get in bed with me. When I don't want to eat, they bring me ice cream. When I haven't left the house in forever, they drag me outside for a walk. Those things make me feel like people care, and are also intrinsically comforting (the cuddling because oxytocin, the ice cream because nourishment, and the walk because fresh air/being outside).

There are other things that I used to find comforting (cup of hot tea/coffee, taking a bath, making cookies, reading/watching an old favorite book/movie, etc), but now I am so anhedonic that those things don't seem to help anymore. What do y'all do to self-soothe?
