Questions people usually have
What if I have very little energy?
Pick the option with the smallest time badge and just do that one — often At-home film festival. Starting tiny is the whole strategy.
Do I need to buy anything?
No. Almost everything here is free or uses what you already have at home.
Is this a substitute for support?
No. These are everyday mood-care ideas, not medical, mental-health or emergency advice. If you're struggling, reach out to someone you trust or a professional.
