I don't know if this helps fight depression per se, but all of the below has helped me:

- Getting at least 6-7 hours of sleep every night consistently

- Reading a book for at least 10 minutes a day

- Going for a 20-30 minute walk outside alone (day, night, doesn't matter, as long as you feel safe)

- Weightlifting a couple of times a week

- Eating right

- Trying to not box myself into restrictive thinking about all of the above (like, if I want to eat a donut, I can eat a donut, I just should be conscious of portion control)

- Going to therapy every week. This can be an expensive option, but hopefully you can find someone in network for your health insurance or find people who do group therapy. Regardless, I find it very healthy to be able to talk about my week with someone who isn't a close friend. They typically give me clarity on what it is that I'm sometimes feeling.
