Thank you for sharing these helpful tips for when someone is feeling depressed. It's important to remember that these are not substitutes for professional help, but they can provide a temporary bridge until someone is able to seek the help they need. I especially appreciate the suggestion to move, even if you don't feel like it. Exercise can be a great way to boost mood and energy levels. And of course, who doesn't love petting a cat and enjoying some cheese? These small acts of self-care can make a big difference in someone's mental health.
