Depends on the product. Ozempic is like that. 1 shot per week.The shots aren't directly into the bloodstream. They are just under the skin and sre slowly released over time.

Agree. Go to the therapy session or whatever later. Going to things you love is a form of therapy, enjoying something.

Assuming you like animals (and what sane person doesn't), find an animal shelter and go donate your time. I can't think of more things better for your mental health than being around animals. Unconditional affection is A+

Just make sure it’s a no kill. I did some time at a kill one and I still remember the horror of holding puppies down to get their injections. Tail wagging til the end

I'm just gonna throw this out there after the last couple posts.
I don't think it's possible to be depressed with a dog. The dog cares about you unconditionally. The dog knows your mental state isnt great (don't ask me how, but they fucking know. When I'm sick, the dogs never leave the bedroom. When I'm sad, they bring me toys. It would cheer them up, so they figure it must cheer me up). The dog is a living being that requires food and care and attention. It forces you to keep a schedule - the dog doesn't care that it's Saturday and you want to sleep in. Breakfast is at 630 sharp. Petting dogs seems to make you happier than it makes them. They've got floppy ears that are super soft to play with. If you're not a piece of shit owner, you know your dog needs to be walked, so it forces you outside, and vitamin D and fresh air and exercise are all main components of not being depressed.
And the dog is happy to see you every day when you come home. It's never mad at you. It never bitches at you for not doing the dishes. And it will listen to you vent all night long.
I was tired as fuck, and I'm stressed as fuck with shit going on with my homeowners insurance, and I fucked up my elbow which was helping neither of those problems, and the dog still comes up to me and stays spastic until I take her on a walk. Which calms her down and calms me down.
Can't recommend it enough. But if you get a working dog, buy a fucking vest and weight it down. You'll be happy you did.

All my dogs have passed away and I miss them terribly. I’ll still choke up thinking about my first dog, Furlough. I had brought him to the park I mentioned going to last week when I got broken up with years ago. I put together a little basket of hard boiled eggs, some deli meats, and some treats and we sat overlooking muddy creek falls eating lunch together and then just sitting on the rocks next to the stream there. I should have taken him there more and I’d kill to be able to go with him again. I’ve wanted a dog again, but I was waiting to get a fenced in yard for them but life’s too variable right now for me to feel comfortable getting another pet.
My cat’s do drive me nuts sometimes but they’re super loving as well and will come over to brush and try to snuggle when I’m in a bad mood. Also there’s nothing quite as toasty as Arya when she demands to get under the covers with me and be my little spoon. Girl is a goddamn furnace but a very comfy one.
