If you’re depressed and I ask you to go out and move on, you’ll possibly feel stuck. Any motivating words or encouragement could be taken as too much and you might shut down. Still, there would have to be something to help you.

After you’ve delineated the “one step, one day” at a time that can be done, the list of single actions would move you from doing nothing to making progress.
