How to keep plotting when depressed?

[Kittylovely]

What the title says. I really want to see this plotting through today and ideas float across my brain but I'm too depressed to do anything.

I wonder if I should just play games to wind down or plot anyway, maybe I could channel my depression into the plotting? Probably make it more authentic or whatever

Just jot stuff down on index cards. Or a text file.

I'd suggest keeping things light and low commitment if you do wish to continue plotting. Nothing wrong with just chilling out though. Personally, I don't think the artistic brain functions that well when depressed, considering art's such a self-involved process

Play your games.
It's better to destress.

OR

Subject yourself to extreme boredom. Eventually, plotting will become an enjoyable thing to relieve such depression. Vertis believes that this may not work for everyone... but it works for Vertis.

Plot your enemy's downfall.

Music, it always helps me get into the mood when I have no energy;

That was where I started really. It was kind of what got me out of it.

I dont always write it down in these situations. I'll frequently just mental prep everything. Dwell on it in the shower, before bed, on the way to work, at work, and then when it comes time to write, even if Ive been putting it off, I'll probably have a bunch of new content sorted out.

Its easier to just think about it than to write it down. However, it is just as effective.
