Hello Brittkay, I am also depressed and not currently getting treated. I can no longer afford to pay for medication, (nothing really helped me anyway ).

I know that unmotivated feeling all too well, like even these simple things take way too much effort. Sometimes I can only find the energy to sit and watch free movies or tv shows online.

I wish I could tell you a sure fire way to distract your mind, but I'm afraid all I have to offer are the basics; you know, read a book, listen to music, watch tv, surf the web. Try to get therapy if it's at all possible. Just talking to someone about it can be very helpful; that's why I spend so much time here on Neurotalk. Not many people come around the depression forum, I don't know why. I usually hang around the "Survivors of Suicide" forum. Maybe that won't work for you, but the people there have helped me a lot.

Anyway, the best treatment I've found so far is this forum.

Sorry I couldn't be more help, but keep coming back and posting, here and anywhere else you think you might fit, someone is bound to give you some good ideas.

Take care
