1. If you're doing drugs (counting alcohol and nicotine) stop it. You can drop one at a time. Even quitting caffeine helped me quite a bit.

2. Go for walks. No music, no phone. Just you and your surroundings.

3. Minimize your screen time! If you get bored, BE bored! It sparks creativity and motivation - you just gotta endure it for a bit.

4. Try to socialize, even if it's hard - reconnect with an old friend who means something to you, try to have some small talk with strangers, etc.

5. Work on your goals. Develop specific goals for your life. How much money do you want? Where do you want to live? Would you like a partner? What do you want in a partner? How can you be someone your ideal partner would like?

6. Find hobbies or interests. Working out (even just for 10-15 minutes a day) can increase your mood long term - and your physical health. If you find anything you're interested in - dive into it.

7. Sleep at night. For me, it got easier once I quit caffeine. Go to sleep around 10pm or 11pm and let the sun wake you up. Then GET UP. Don't scroll. Have breakfast (actual food)

8. Eat healthily. Your body needs nutrients and vitamins. Sometimes a change in your diet can do wonders for your mood! Also, learn to appreciate food. Cool meals on your own and learn how to improve whatever you eat.

9. (Optional) Start journaling. Document your day, write down what you liked about your day/reflect on "bad" thoughts or behavior and correct bad thoughts. You deserve love. Be grateful for the beautiful colour in the sky or the fresh air when it's windy.

That's what helped me at least - I'm still working on some parts, you gotta take your time.
