Sorry it’s gotten so rough. I agree with exercise (even if I just walk around the block), journaling or making lists of what I’m anxious about or grateful for, music really helps me, also humor (funny animal videos on YouTube), coloring sometimes helps, lighting a candle, taking a shower or a hot bath, sunlight (or a Happy Light during the winter), distracting myself somehow, sitting alone enjoying a cup of tea/coffee/cocoa, watching a fireplace video on YouTube. I hope something there helps. Hang on — you matter!

I totally agree exercise is a big help ,take a long, brisk walk with your dog ( a dog itself is a great help if you live in an apartment that allows pets) or simply push your self to go alone, I know you feel like absolute crap but exercise will help. Personally I started small on the days I could at least get out of bed and then built up, as i said I fully get it - bed was my sanctuary when depression was bad and it still is some days but exercise is hard work especially for us, and laying in bed is easy, push for one month and i bet you feel at least a little better.
