“Self Care” is a self-initiated social project, consisting of 12 illustrated posters dedicated to showing ways to take care of oneself in depression.
Each poster describes one strategy to alleviate the symptoms of depression and help yourself bring back a life that has meaning.

I don't have any friends, let alone a best friend, but can still be my own best friend.
Hello Saphyre Fyre, I understand where you are coming from. The majority of my friends in my lifetime have been books.
Load More Replies...I came up with the idea for these posters when I realized how often we tend to overlook the effects of little day-to-day choices on our well-being in the long run: how excessive expectations lay as a burden on our shoulders.

Hello Isa's left eye, are you going to take care of yourself or are you going to allow yourself to get so stressed out and sick, that you end up in the ICU in the hospital or end up in a casket?

When I couldn't read at all for what felt like years, I picked a book up and read in 5 minute increments once a day and just forcing myself to do that little bit really helped.
The ability to read is one of the most important gifts I was given as a child. If I had to choose between losing my hearing or my sight; I would choose to lose my hearing. Books have always been my friends and I would not want to ever lose them.
My hope is for this project to serve as a reminder for the ones searching for the ultimate solution that it consists of many baby steps instead of one giant leap. And that making those steps regularly will cover a vast distance toward something we can call “the life that’s worth living”.
For my 50th birthday, I am going to try 50 new things, whether it be food or an event or whatever, I am scared and excited all at once!!
I just turned 50, and am also working at being a better me to myself, you go!!!

Here's a good one: once a month, go somewhere new. It doesn't have to be a place where you buy stuff; could be a park or some place like a library. Or a place you wouldn't normally go--new hardware store but you don't need tools? Go check it out anyway.
I'm so happy I stopped watching TV news. It made me so distressed and angry.
That's why as with the “Toxic Support” project, I partnered with the Anxiety and Depression Association of America and am immensely grateful for their support! Also, if you are interested here's an article on the “Self Care” project at the ADAA site that you can check out.
sometimes the family you find along the way is better for you than the one you're born into.
I really don't want to bother others with my depressing thoughts an whining.
Nowadays it is hard to do a lot of stuff if you only have your feet or public transportation. Being without a car is no fun. There is so much interesting stuff to do in life and public transportation usually has no routes where one wants to go or they stop running when you need them to keep running.
That's what my psychologist says but I'm too lazy

Goals: 1) Get out of bed. 2) Brush teeth. 3) Put on clothes. I have learned that spending the entire day in my PJs makes me feel more depressed. 4) Make the bed, even if you' only pull the blanket over the messy sheets. Now you have accomplished 4 things and you haven't even left your room.
Setting achievable goals is admirable. My problem is I'm too good at procrastination.
but im HIDING my depression from my family because I am FOURTEEN. I cant do this one but I sincerely hope those of you who can, do.
I understand your situation all too well, you can go to your school therapist and start seeing them. They aren't required to tell your parents unless you are harming yourself or others. Remember, you are not alone <3

If we could do this, we wouldn't be depressed. It's the same BS idea of "Just Say No To Depression, it's EASY!"
A bit true. Most of these really help if you can manage them, even in tiny steps. But sometimes during depression it's just too hard to even start any if these habits.
