I force myself to talk to someone or get some exercise outside if I can. Or sometimes I watch a familiar movie or listen to music that I like. Those things don't always help, but usually they can lift my mood a little.

Yeah, when depression is this bad, I usually just lay down and take a nap. It doesn’t hurt, and sometimes that’s what my body needed.
