These are exactly not the cure for the mental state after depression but will definitely help you in the process to fight depression without taking medication.
1. Have a Companion Pet
Pets give us the essence of family. When there is none standing by you, a positive soul sitting beside you is your pet. Cuddling your pet whether it is a dog or cat or whatever, it is a cool feeling to care one another. Their cute, innocent eyes when they look at you will definitely give you a reason to live.
2. Watch funny Stuff on Internet or TV
I have always been a cartoon and comedy lover. Since my childhood, I have completely imagined a Disney world of mine. Watching stand up comedies and your favorites cartoons back from 90’s will give you vibes of the days when you need not worry about anything. Some of the series like friends, modern family, and big bang theory are my recommendations. Do watch them. It's obviously not a replacement for antidepressants or therapy but it works.
3. Clean your Living Room
Take a day off to clean your living room. In fact, clean your house. Enjoy that moment of indulging in something good along with your mom or alone. Take everything off from the room that brings in negativity in you. Cleaning your living area will give you vibes of starting something new and who knows you might find something enthusiastic to do with your old stuff. Ultimately it refocuses you and gives you a sense of control.
4. Listen to Music that makes you Feel Good
Make a list of songs that you like to listen most, that energies you and pumps you up to move forward. In fact, create a playing of the songs and listen to those songs repeatedly. Feel free to reprise the song and sing along. I do have a playlist of my all-time favorite songs from the 90’s and 20’s and I call it ‘king of the road.’ Songs are meant to boost you and make you feel different emotions. Make sure you choose the right one that can heal your mind, soul, and heart.
5. Travel
Plan a trip with friends or alone to somewhere exotic and full of natural scenery. Make it journey to self-realization and self –discovery. Enjoy the time making new friends if you are alone. Get to know the culture of the place. Find out how people with the highest degree of difficulties are still alive and happy. Find out a reason to live and do something for your namesake. Eat good food, interact with locals, do sightseeing, and make the trip a whole bunch of adventurous.
