People are gonna hate this, but for me personally, this fckn tracks! My depression improved significantly through one simple thing- living to try and inspire myself. When I felt like a POS, I couldn't do anything to find my spark. I lost my entire 20s and some of my teen and 30s to this state of fractured paralysis. Now when I feel it creeping as it always does, I feel bad for myself for a spell, then get the fck up and think- what's the simplest way I could feel good about my choices today?
