I bought a houseplant during a depressive episode. I forgot about it for days at a time, because I was depressed, and it died. Having "something to care for" did nothing for me.

They don't look fancy and don't grow much but are sturdy and can bridge over gaps when I don't have the energy or mental space to care for them.
