All you can do is sleep, rest, eat healthy, drink water, try to move more and find new hobby and maybe slowly you will recover.
Depression is something really hard to recover from, because you see everything in one color, not in 2,3,4,5,9999+
Hope that helps.
Thanks, AS. That's a really good explanation. I also find that proper sleep, rest, eating healthy, exercising, getting lost in a hobby, are all things that help my depression, too. They don't cure them, as I used to want to believe, but they do definitely manage them.
I like your point about seeing things in one color. I never thought of it that way.
