I always make myself do something outside like pop to the shops. I also make myself do chores like batch cook. Then I distract myself with twitch it’s easy and mindless

For me it’s about letting go. The depression is telling me to slow down and no matter what my plans were, I have to respect that. If I don’t, it’ll just get worse and stay longer. This can be a hard pill to swallow with my personality, but I’ve learned that I don’t really have any options. If I feel I need to lie down on the sofa, or even the floor, I do that. I know I’m at my worst when I only have the mental and physical energy for lying down and listening to a podcast. From experience, forcing myself is the worst thing I can do.
