I actually made a video about this a few months ago: activities one can do on bad depression days when you don’t have any energy to do anything.

For the TLDW crowd, though, here’s the list:

• Sewing (My top task on bad depression days, conquering my sewing pile.)
• Adult Coloring Books (Or Art)
• Bird Watching / Feeding
• Watch Stupid Movies (My go-tos are Rampage and Ocean’s 8)
• Food Prep
• Delete Old Stuff Off Your Phone (This one may only be suitable for those of us with anhedonia.)
• Do Your Basic Computer Maintenance

All of these things take minimal energy and keep the brain engaged without making you overly emotional.
