But, if you are getting depressed alot then an effective strategy to get rid of depression is what you should look&#x2F;ask for. And for your room, to keep it tidy I think you should clean it after every task you do. For example: when you wake up  do your bed, and after you finish studying arrange your studying things like books and papers.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Alexis Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I struggle with depression too. I find efficiency can really help. I ordered smart outlets that have my coffee and oat meal ready in the morning and the lights on without my having to do anything. I&#39;ve also downsized the soaps and bottles of various stuff in the bathroom, and keeping out only clothing I need. I also have a roomba that handles the carpet cleaning.. really would reccomend those<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Melora Rouse N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">One thing at a time. Set a timer. Work for that amount and then take a times break if you need it. Give yourself a tiny reward when done.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Maja C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">When I was depressed, I decided to go see a therapist and she asked me if I preferred my therapy sessions at home or at her office. So I set all the appointments in the early morning at my house, so I was also forced to get up, tidy my room end always, at the end, I lighted a scented candle.<br \/>\nNow I have stopped my course of treatment, but the candle has become for me like a prize for my job. I light a candle when I study also. Anyway I take some time to watch the flame moves slowly and to breathe.<br \/>\nI walk away from the concepts of day,date and time, I just think that I&#39;m here now and I can breathe.<br \/>\nMeditation is one possible key. <\/p>\n<p>I always think that life is one single occasion, so I look for small motivational signs everywhere as if there are only for me and I am the protagonist of an adventure fantasy story.<br \/>\nSorry for my English.<br \/>\nTake care of your precious person and unique life.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Luey P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Sometimes, when we&#39;re severely depressed, we don&#39;t even have the energy for simple tidying, and that&#39;s totally okay. Be gentle with yourself. But, if the mood strikes you, try picking up for 5 minutes. Set a timer. Do what you can in those 5 minutes. When time is up, you can either keep cleaning or stop and congratulate yourself for the steps you took to start cleaning.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Darryl S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Set a timer and just do 5 minutes of tidying daily. Or, identify the &quot;messiest&quot; parts, like laundry or trash, and make behavior modifications to set yourself up for success.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Joseph X.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Hello<br \/>\nSomtimes depression comes with a lot of over thinking.<br \/>\nCleaning your room or mabe just do a little part of it ( your bed for example ) might help calm down. Mabe organising your personal space might as well help organise your thoughts too and increase your feeling of productivity and which can motivate you more.<br \/>\nI know  that the physical energy seems far away from you but if you start with a little effort as getting out of bed, the process will continue until you reach a clean room and a clear mind.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Alea G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">i went through this stage when i was to depressed and had no motivation, i set a routine and a to do list for everyday, i started little and built it up to get back to where i was before.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deana M.
