Try relaxation techniques & perform activities you have control over
In a case where you have not left your house in sometime, you can consider doing something you find soothing or calm. Examples are getting a massage or going on a spa date. Generally, relaxation techniques can help improve your life’s quality and may lessen symptoms of anxiety and depression. Just look for an activity that you would enjoy and can do regularly. Examples are meditation, breathing exercises and yoga.
Depression and anxiety creates a sense of loss of control over a lot of things. Performing activities in which you have some control over, and can see through from the beginning to the end may help you cope with extreme symptoms. Therefore, find a task to accomplish. It could be as simple as making your bed, restacking books or taking out the trash. Do something that would give you a sense of power, achievement and accomplishment.
