Healing from depression
While recovering from depression:
Take it one day at a time.
Don't expect too much too soon.
Set realistic, doable daily goals.
Take part in activities that make you feel better.
Do not underestimate the power of laughter. It's hard to feel depressed when you're laughing.
Seek out people who are supportive and helpful.
Stick to your treatment plan; for example, take your medication as prescribed and keep your psychotherapy appointments.
