    This is not a practical long term solution, but one answer is falling in love. Everytime I’ve fallen in love my depression goes fully into remission. I have lots of energy, it’s easy to keep my place clean and super easy to shower, do my hair, whatever it takes to look pretty. I am inspired to try new things and get into hobbies. I have patience and am less irritable. Works like a charm until we’ve been together long enough for the relationship to become completely routine, and then the depression creeps back in, bad as ever. But you can get like 6 months out of it.
