Walking. 2,3,4 miles a day. Whatever you can to wear you down. Listen to guided meditations on awareness and mindfulness while you walk.

Do this everyday for 1 week.

Spending time with people who make me feel happy and loved

Animals/pets

Any kind of exercise

Accomplishing something productive (this is hard when depressed but if you can do just one thing and break the cycle it will help)

Laughing

Ice cream

Depression is rarely something that can be dealt with alone. Find supportive people who can help you. Is there a church in your area that you are a part of? Finding connections with those who can help help you get plugged in spiritually can be really helpful. Best wishes!
