Depression support

Depression often affects motivation, sleep, and energy—not your character. This pathway focuses on small actions that rebuild rhythm, reduce overwhelm, and make progress feel possible again.

What you might notice

Depression can show up differently for everyone, but often includes:

  • Low motivation or “can’t start” feeling
  • Changes in sleep (too much or too little)
  • Reduced interest in things you usually care about
  • Self-criticism and mental fatigue

Small actions that help

The goal is consistency, not intensity:

  • One predictable routine (morning light, walk, hydration)
  • Behavioral activation (tiny tasks that create momentum)
  • Social micro-connection (text one person, short check-in)
  • Professional support if symptoms are severe or persistent

First steps (today)

  1. 1
    Pick one “minimum” habit Choose something small you can do even on hard days (5 minutes).
  2. 2
    Lower the bar to start Make the first step easy (shoes by the door, water on desk).
  3. 3
    Track wins, not failures Write down what you did—even if it feels small.
