Coping with Severe Depression: Any Advice?

i find switching things up to be very helpful. like if im laying in bed for a long time ill force myself to get up to do something new. light exercise helps too.... sometimes it takes too much effort to go for a run but even a short walk can help a little. one thing thats really helped me feel better lately was doing easy homework problems because it distracted me from feeling sad and made me feel accomplished! :3
