    To answer OP (I know this thread was over half a year ago but I felt compelled to respond), usually when I feel down I tend to go insular and just shut myself off for a bit and just listen to music or read stuff about music or sports. Just something to pass the time.

    Playing sports (whenever it's in-season for me) is another thing I do to get myself out of a rut and it works more often than not. Guess my point being is that you need to re-calibrate somehow and focusing your energies on rudimentary tasks usually gives us a chance to do that.

    Also I'd just like to parrot what the rest of the posters in this thread have said. Some sound advice was provided for sure.

    This.

    It can get annoying when you see people doing this on social media. But I've always understood why they do it.

    Cooking and listening to music or a podcast. I swear to god getting in the zone and cooking is like meditation, it just gives your brain a chance to not think for awhile because you're so focused on the task at hand.

    I sleep.
    Usually I end up sleeping for like 2 days in a row and wake up because I'm dehydrated. But sleeping helps me get away from it all.
    If I can't sleep for as long as I want to, then I try to distract myself by watching movies, shows or playing video games.
    I create music and a lot of art/visuals as a hobby and a job, so that helps if I have a deadline and need to finish something. But when I am depressed I can't get the creative juices flowing, so there's no point in even trying.
