Finding something that makes you less anxious or depressed. Self care, a bubble bath, or a hot bath in general, a fidget toy, a sensory toy. Your favorite food. Music. Crying sometimes helps. A hobby

Get up, get dressed (not pajamas or comfy clothes), & get out of the house. It may seem really difficult but being enclosed and secluded makes things worse. Hang with a friend or if you don't feel like being around people go for a walk.

It helps when I reach out to my special person (the person you can actually talk to and feel safe doing so!) and let them know. Mine usually asks what they can do and I make it my duty to think of one thing they can do for me. Sometimes that can be them texting me throughout the day, or having them come on by and helping me out with chores. Never let yourself feel alone!
