Blabla, first of all, I wish you a complete refuah shelayma. Although we usually can’t figure it out at the time, ultimatley Hashem doesn’t put any challenge in front of us that we won’t eventually see our way through. That realization has helped me over many humps. I know that depression can be debilitating, especially when you don’t even want to get out of bed. But the fact that you reached out here is a positive step, because it shows you want to feel better.

Several previous posters had great ideas, such as force yourself out of the house, try to do as much chesed as you can, keep your mind busy, watch a funny video, and physical exercise. If your home situation is problematic, try to go away for Shabbosism. If you don’t have a Rebbe, family or friends to whom you can go, then sign up with Shabbat.com, and they’ll place you!

Hang in there, the worst may already be behind you!
