Hello 19 year old with autism and depression here. Im on pills given by a doctor, ive tried therapy, dnd even. I just feel depressed and im not sure why possibly hormones or maybe that fact that i haven’t accomplished anything in my life or even done anything, also im broke to say. Everyone tells me to workout but i dont feel motivated to even do that plus its super hot outside and i cant afford a gym, maybe im making excuses…
I just feel lost on where i should be right now in life and im clueless on what the next steps are.
Fake being happy enough to convince yourself.
After a while your brain will believe you too and you will actually become happier.
A good practice is to keep a notebook and write down every day the things that made you grateful that day. Can be as simple as a good meal or having taken a shower. Keep it going for a few weeks and you will learn to see the silver lining of things better.
