How can I help my depression?

I am 19 years old, was put into a crisis home for my self-injury and bipolar about 3 months ago. now I am on wellbutrin xl which seems to be helping with the mental symptoms of depression, that I can find. BUT I a having trouble with feeling rested after sleep, getting myself out of bed, and feeling motivated. I take thyroid and my level is healthy as far as that is concerned. I am wondering if there are things I can do, non medically... but more of, with myself to try and cure this? Or at least make myself feel like a normal person again?

You will be able to sleep better. You'll be better able to meet your day-to-day obligations and take care of yourself (such as caring for your hair, dressing well, eating regularly). You will have more energy.

Your weight problems will get better, and your appetite will be closer to "normal."

You will have an increased desire to live. You and your family and friends will notice these changes. Be patient, though. It may take some time to get back to the way you felt before the depression.

A few strategies you can do:
Step 1: Ensure your emotion is controlled daily. Don't over reacted, stay calm and don't get depress easily
Step 2: Think before your action. Don't repeat your past experience on yourselve
Step 3: Be confident to yourselves. Remember everyone is the winner. "Only One sperms out of millions fertilize a eggs"
Step 4: Get a group of close friends to share your experience and get some activities that would occupied your time
Good Luck.

there is no cure, unfortunately. but with medication AND talk therapy you can get to the root of your problems and figure out what to do about them. and exercise. don't forget to exercise!

I think that you should find the problem(s) to your state at mind and find someone to listen to your story someone who knows what to say.
