Hello my friend
Sorry your depression is pulling you down have you been to see your doctor and explain how you are feeling.
I've been told to try some relaxing music or go for a walk to clear your head but I would strongly suggest talk to your doctor but the good news is you have made the first move by talking on DS Well done. Keep strong.

Hi Junetwentyseventh I’m so sorry you feel like rock bottom is pulling you in right now, you have done the right thing by reaching out and I hope that you can feel some positive thoughts soon. Keep reaching out for that listening ear.

It is good you're seeing your psychiatrist soon. Do one thing at a time. Do something you enjoy. Like, watch TV, a movie, play a game or take a nap. Be selfish and do one thing you always want to do. Also, self-care is important too
