Depression remedies: Include exercising, engaging in social interaction & engrossing activities, practicing gratitude, doing kind things for others, learning and practicing stress management, developing and committing to meaningful goals, avoiding negative thinking & negative comparisons with others, and talking to empathic & trusted people. If those aren't enough, talk to a mental health professional.

See below: Establish daily routine -- to help you make your environment more predictable and reduce stress. Practice good sleep hygiene, diet , exercise. Establish goals, small and achievable. Look into positive aspects of your present environment or current situation (things you laughed at, best food you ate, good people you met, etc.). Create a crisis card to help you get through the "bad" days.
