What do you do when you're feeling down?

When I was in my teenage years, I got depressed and stayed depressed for a little over a year. For over a year, every single day was a battle with myself. For over a year, every single day felt heavy and pointless. I call these days “zombie days.” I’ll just completely shut down and desperately look for ways to distract myself from my feelings. So what do you do when you're feeling down?

When I am feeling down, I tend to watch Anime and just eat. Just to make dark thoughts escape me and help me smiling for the rest of the day. And I try to accept and embrace what is happening to me so as not to delve over it too much,

Right now, I'm fuming mad because of my parents and siblings. If I'm angry, I just work, work and work. Work makes me happy, keeps me productive, distracts me from family problems and brings me money. My parents & siblings on the other hand, bring me loads of stress and problems.

I generally listen to my favorite songs as it puts me Ina good mood. I prefer not talking to anyone when I'm depressed.
