How to break the cycle?

First post, testing the waters here.

I hate the way that depressive episodes feed into themselves. When I get depressed, I never want to do anything. All I want to do is sleep and eat, but that just makes me more upset about my lifestyle. Currently in college and trying to get a job, but I have no drive and each day is a slog. Anyone have advice for how to break the self-feeding cycle?

Welcome I’m in the same boat. I would sleep all day too except I have friend anxiety that has been waking me up too early and I can’t seem to fall back asleep either. Also ocd that makes me think bad thoughts about myself. What to do about it just make yourself do one small thing a day. The days are a real slog tbh it’s so hard .
