What do you do when you're depressed? 🤔

I try to keep myself busy with work for as long as I can. When there's nothing left to do but address my thoughts I do some exercises until I'm too tired to think. Hopefully I'm so exhausted I pass out and wake up to a new day... but, there's times when these mechanisms fail and I have to phone someone for help...

I tend to start withdrawing socially. Online games I play with others tend to get replaced with single player games. I stop messaging people. I drag myself through work and isolate myself when done

@ViciDraco I tend to withdraw too

@SW-User being an introvert at heart means socializing is draining. But also depression is like feeling empty. It's too much to have something draining you when already feeling like you've got nothing left.

@ViciDraco I get that . I'm an introvert too and I feel drained if around too many people ..
Depression makes me feel even more drained because I'm having to fake being ok around others
