• Challenging your negative thoughts and replacing them with more realistic ones. This can help you reduce the cognitive distortions that make you feel hopeless, worthless, or guilty.
• Identifying the triggers that make you feel depressed and avoiding them. This can help you reduce the exposure to stressful or harmful situations that worsen your mood.
• Expressing your feelings and needs to others in a respectful way. This can help you improve your communication and interpersonal skills, and increase your social support.
• Setting realistic goals and rewarding yourself for achieving them. This can help you increase your motivation, self-esteem, and sense of accomplishment.
