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 Phone a person you like. 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.
