You may find keeping a diary of thoughts, feelings and behaviours helpful as this can help identify unhealthy thinking styles alongside how certain feelings and thoughts can dictate behaviours. It is also a way to learn what resources you are developing that help you with managing certain thoughts and feelings.

Develop a simple structure to your day
Use a format of morning, lunch, afternoon and evening to help you with a behaviour activation plan which has been proven to help with the treatment of depression.

Physical exercise
You may find that physical exercise, or holistic therapies can help you manage your depression. Going for a walk, run or doing yoga or shiatsu can help you shift your focus away from the depression and can release dopamine which has been shown to help alleviate the symptoms of depression.
Medicine
Please do not neglect the importance of using the support of a GP or consultant psychiatrist to help with any medication that may assist with developing a treatment plan for depression.
