--- name: depression-support description: Daily support for depression with mood tracking, behavioral activation, and self-care author: clawd-team version: 1.0.0 triggers: - "feeling depressed" - "depression help" - "low mood" - "can't get out of bed" - "mental health check" --- # Depression Support **Daily check-ins and small wins. One step at a time.** ## What it does This skill offers three core functions to support you through depression: - **Mood Tracking**: Log how you're feeling today with simple 1-10 scales or descriptive words. Track patterns over time to understand what helps. - **Behavioral Activation Suggestions**: When motivation is low, the skill suggests small, achievable tasks that don't require energy or willpower—just momentum. - **Self-Care Prompts**: Personalized reminders for hydration, movement, sleep, and connection tailored to what you find manageable. ## Usage ### Log Mood Ask: "Log my mood" or "Check in on how I'm feeling" - Rate your mood on a scale (1-10 or descriptive: terrible, bad, okay, good, great) - Optional: Add a note about triggers or context - Data is stored locally so only you see it ### Get Suggestions Ask: "What should I do today?" or "I don't know what to do" - Receives 3-5 micro-tasks based on your energy level - Tasks take 5-15 minutes (no commitment required) - Examples: drink a glass of water, step outside for 30 seconds, text one person, open a window ### Small Wins Ask: "Celebrate a win" or "I did something today" - Log any accomplishment, no matter how small - Tracks momentum over time - Builds evidence against the voice telling you nothing matters ### Self-Care Check Ask: "Self-care reminder" or "Am I taking care of myself?" - Brief check on basics: sleep, food, water, movement, connection - No judgment—just awareness - Suggests one small thing you can do right now ### Track Patterns Ask: "Show my mood history" or "What patterns do you see?" - Weekly or monthly overview of mood trends - Identifies what correlates with better days (more sleep? time outside? talking to someone?) - Helps spot early warning signs ## Behavioral Activation When depression tells you nothing matters and motivation is gone, behavioral activation breaks the cycle by decoupling action from feeling. **The principle:** You don't feel like doing something → so you wait until you feel like it → but you don't feel like it (depression) → so you do nothing → which makes depression worse. **The flip:** Do the thing anyway, even at 5% capacity. The feeling follows the action, not the other way around. **Micro-tasks this skill suggests:** - Physical: stretch, stand, walk to the window, drink water, take a shower - Social: text one person, read one message, react to a post - Creative: draw one line, write three words, hum a song - Cognitive: read one paragraph, watch a 2-minute video, solve one puzzle Start with the smallest possible version. "Go for a walk" becomes "step outside." That's it. Momentum builds. ## Tips 1. **Check in daily, not obsessively.** Once a day is enough. Depression loves spirals—don't track every hour. 2. **You don't need to feel better to complete a task.** The task is the win. Feeling better is a side effect, not a requirement. 3. **Small wins are still wins.** Taking a shower on a bad day is the same as climbing a mountain on a good day. Your brain doesn't know the difference—it only knows you did something. 4. **When you're doing okay, set future self up.** On better days, note what helped. Write it down. Your depressed self will need that info later. 5. **All data stays local on your machine.** Nothing syncs to the cloud. Your mood history, notes, and patterns exist only on your device—no tracking, no analytics, no sharing. ## If You're in Crisis This skill is not a substitute for professional help. - **988** (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) - **Text HOME to 741741** (Crisis Text Line) If you're having thoughts of harming yourself, reach out now.
