One of the important things to engage in while recovering from depression is self care. Self care can include: sleeping, eating, communication, and hygiene. You know you need to do self care when HALT happens. HALT stands for

Hungry

Angry

Lonely

Tired

For example, if I'm feeling lonely I might talk to friends or take a bubble bath.

But remember, moderation is key. Only eat until you're full and don't sleep all day.
