look for some motivation. literally anything. intercept those negative ideas with something good. something you can look forward to after work or another goal that could take longer. for example, sometimes I get in weird moods and I start fantasizing about the day I could live alone. so in my head I start picking out my ideal apartment, the furniture, whatever the aesthetic I want for my home and sometimes I make lists. its not a cure all but it keeps the mind busy.

I really understand what you’re going through. I have MDD as well and sometimes it’s super difficult to get through the day. Whenever I’m in an episode, I tend to get super negative and I feel like I’m putting out bad energy on the floor. and THEN that starts a horrible cycle in my brain. Idk if this will help you, but what I do is just count my breaths in my head. It keeps me from spiraling. Also, I try to wash my hands a lot. It gives me time to breath deep, and also I like whenever my hands are clean. Anyways, I hope you can find something that’ll help you. I’m sending you all the positive energy and vibes. You got this♥️♥️
