– Chances are their room is a disaster and they have -846 motivation to do anything about it. Helping them tidy up will make them feel a little less overwhelmed. 

– Do their laundry. Even small chores seem to pile up when a person is depressed and not having clean clothes won’t make them feel any better. Washing their bedding is also great.

– Try to convince them to go for a short walk with you. There is a good chance they will feel a lot better after.

– If you can’t get them outside, at least open a window for fresh air and let some sunshine in.

– Prepare them a healthy meal with some fresh fruit. Many depressed people fall into bad eating patterns. 

– If they aren’t eating enough, make sure they are taking a multi vitamin since not getting enough of a vitamin causes depression

– Make them a warm, nice smelling bath. Aromatherapy is a great way to treat depression and anxiety. 

– Write them a letter or card to read for when they’re feeling really bad.

– Make them a recovery playlist with some of their favourite songs and anything up lifting.

– Make them laugh.

– Make them a cup of tea and sit with them.

– Listen to them and try to understand what they’re feeling.

I’m dating someone who does this stuff and more for me. For the first time ever. It’s really a blessing and not a day goes by that I don’t appreciate all of the little things, because at the end of the day they are actually the big things. Take care of your lovers.

Confessions of the Signs

Aries: I’m not always an initiator and I sometimes need someone to show me the way before I take the lead
Taurus: I always have a plan to get something done, but once a single person reminds me to do it, I won’t do anything for a while
Gemini: I hate admitting when I’m wrong, I’ve said I love you when I didn’t mean it, I change who I am around different people, I love messing with people’s heads, I miss my childhood
Cancer: Before you assume I’m fragile, remember that the shell I have is not to hide myself; it’s a battle beaten shield against the world, and sometimes it’s to shield the world from me, too
Leo: I love everyone else so fully because I haven’t quite figured out how to love myself
Virgo: I seem organized but I’m literally falling apart like I have unrealistic standards for myself
Libra: My emotions are extremely volatile but I hold them in so I’m not perceived as weak, and it wears me out
Scorpio: I’m worried I’m going to have the feeling of being unloved my whole life
Sagittarius: I used to threaten to run away from home so often that it got to the point where I’d pack a bag and go hide out on the hiking trail. Usually, I’d come back in like two hours
Capricorn: I am much less driven than most let on. But believe me, I’m more passionate about those I love than some say
Aquarius: People think I have no emotions and that I don’t care, when in reality I have SO many emotions and sometimes I care so much I think I’m going to explode
Pisces: I hate giving people advice on their problems when no one else is ready to listen to my problems
