I have been chronically depressed for years now. I didn't think I could get any less happy until this year rolled around. For the last 8 months I have as depressed as I can imagine anyone can be without going into a psychosis. I feel like I'm at the end of my rope right now. I'm not suicidal, and don't think I ever will be because of my beliefs, but I am facing imminent shutdown if I can't think of anything to get my mind off of my complete lack of energy and total anhedonia. What can I do to keep myself from giving up soon?

Find a hobby/anything fun to clear your mind. Take a walk or read a book. Join a sport or club. Anything that keeps you busy. And maybe talk to someone about why you're depressed. I'm all ears. <3
