    Get outside. They've proved that walking in a park or around green grass lifts the spirits - dunno why, but there you are.

    Get some interaction with an animal, this can also help.

      i was depressed so i got a dog and this helped greatly i wake up hes there i go take him for walks twice a day, it lifts me, I dont do anything about the house all day, i make sure its tidy but like people on here are saying your not being lazy your figuring shit out, im at the stage now where i want to get out and meet people and restart work. its taken me two years but hey its easy when you get to this stage, if you have family around you make sure they know your situation and be brave, it wont kill you to say hello to a passsing person on the street, it will make you stronger, youll get there i know it.

      Hope this helps

        Maybe this is the problem - you're trying to work out stuff that can't be worked out. Some of the happiest people are the most stupid who think about nothing. Maybe if you could switch off and just live minute by minute on autopilot until you're more productive.

        A dog depends on you so much, it gives you a reason to live.
