Some dos and don'ts when you're depressed
*Don't isolate yourself. Stay in touch with your loved ones and friends, your religious advisor and your family doctor.
*Don't make major life decisions (for example, about separation or divorce). You may not be thinking clearly while you are depressed, so the decisions you make at this time may not be the best ones for you.
*Don't blame yourself for your depression. You didn't cause it.
*Don't be discouraged about not feeling well right away. Be patient with yourself.
*Don't give up.
*Do exercise often to make yourself feel better. Exercise will also give you more energy.
*Do eat balanced meals and healthy food.
*Do get enough sleep.
*Do take your medicine and/or go to counseling as often as your doctor tells you to. Your medicine won't work if you only take it once in a while.
*Do set small goals for yourself, because you may have less energy.
*Do encourage yourself.
*Do get as much information as you can about depression and how to treat it.
*Do call your doctor or the local suicide crisis center right away if you start thinking about suicide.
