- Do not set difficult goals for yourself, or take on additional responsibility.
- Break large tasks into small ones, set some priorities, and do what you can as you can.
- Do not expect too much from yourself too soon, as this will only increase your feelings of failure.
- Try to be with other people; it is usually better than being alone.
- Force yourself to participate in activities that may make you feel better.
- Try engaging in mild exercise, going to a movie, a ball-game, or participating in religious or social activities.
- Don't overdo it or get upset if your mood is not greatly improved right away. Feeling better takes time.
- Do not make major life decisions, such as changing jobs, getting married or divorced, without consulting others who know you well and who have a more objective view of your situation. In any case, it is advisable to postpone important decisions until your depression has lifted.
- Get help from a professional. No matter how much you want to beat it yourself, a psychologist can help you recover faster.
