When I’m feeling too depressed to go to rallies or protests, I justify it with the idea that all I have to do is exist there. I don’t have to “do” anything, just exist, I’m just going to exist somewhere else for the day.

Do it! All you have to do is show up! It feels awkward at first to join the chants but each time you get more confident/louder. It could help with the depression also imo
