Try to be nice to yourself. That doesn't mean self-indulgence, just treating yourself with the decency with which you treat others.
Feeling depressed saps your energy and makes you not want to do anything. Get lots of rest, if that's how you feel, and don't feel guilty about it. Little steps, doing little things, can be a bigger achievement that you think.
It's tempting not to eat properly, either not feeling like eating at all, or eating junk food. It's difficult to get up the energy to cook when you don't feel up to it. But feeding yourself properly, as far as you can, will make you feel better. Lots of fruit and veg.
Antidepressants can really lift you out of depression. They're not the only answer, or the whole answer, and some people either don't want to take them or can't get on with them. But I've found them a huge help, and so have many others.
Do make an appointment with your doctor and tell them how you are feeling. Doctors are much more sympathetic to conditions like depression than they used to be, and you deserve help and sympathy. I know it's tempting to wallow in feelings of unworthiness and self hatred, but you really are worth more than that!
Lucy I and so many others have been where you are all I tell you and what has helped me is a way of fighting back the right way .if you have internet look up Dr Reid Wilson he has shown me that you can stop the bullying off does to you don't let it do it it's game you can win I wish you all the best you not alone I and many others are walking with you phill
