7. Prioritize Sleep: Your Brain Needs Rest
When you’re depressed, sleep can be elusive. Whether you can’t fall asleep or wake up in the middle of the night, lack of sleep can make everything feel worse. But the truth is, sleep is your secret weapon. It’s when your brain heals, processes emotions, and resets for the next day. Create a bedtime routine, limit screen time, and aim for 7-9 hours of sleep to help your mind and body recover.
Healing Starts Now
Depression is tough—but you have the power to fight back. Whether you try one or all of these strategies, each small step you take is a victory. By moving your body, changing your thoughts, getting creative, and reaching out for support, you’re already on the path to feeling better. Healing doesn’t happen overnight, but with patience, persistence, and a little self-love, you can overcome the darkness and rediscover joy.
