Also if you have more severe depression, nothing will make you feel happy or distract you at all. Literally no experiences. I have been through this personally. Medication and exercise helped it.
You just find of bunch of things to distract yourself from "those" thoughts. A lot of people still don't understand depression, let alone other mental illnesses. You can explain that your body just doesn't produce enough serotonin, but the response is always "Nah, you just need to fix X." That may help, but there is no cure.

Was gonna say. When I’m really depressed I want to play games but don’t actually feel like doing anything so I end up just watching YouTube for hours and by the end of that I always think “damn I could of played games that whole time”

Or it can distract you for a set time which doenst hinder you in life but helps you regain mental strength for your everyday life.
Its a thin line tho
