Low energy, depression also lowers your energy and motivation, making it harder to get out of bed or do anything.
Guilt and self criticism, you feel guilty and disappointed in yourself. Often blaming themselves, and easily convincing yourself its your fault.

Second would be changing your mindset. Shifting the way you think in your day to day life to become less stressful and more positive.

Something that helped me a lot is accepting the situation your in and focusing on what you can control. This reduces the stressors in your life allowing you to focus on the positive.

First speak to a trained professional like a therapist. This is because everyone's road to recovery is different, and a therapist can help you construct your road to recovery.
