Gurren Lagann strangely helped me going out of a bad trip. You don’t need to believe in yourself, believe in me that I believe in you!

strongly recommend ARIA. it’s as wholesome as wholesome can get.
If romance is not a trigger, Kaguya-Sama (“love is war”) is quite a funny and wholesome romcom.
in a weird way, maybe evangelion. It’s depressing, but it’s comforting in a way too.
Iyashikei anime are my go-to anime for when I need something relaxed and uplifting!
Yuru Camp
Non Non Biyori
Mitsuboshi Colors
All of these are absolute bangers!
If you’re looking for something to cheer you up “Sora yori mo Tooi Basho” is nice. Otherwise anything Ghibli.
Completely depends on your preferences.
I’d say something from Ghibli. But honestly, my comfort anime always has been Mushishi.
Second Mushishi.
Danganronpa if you want to get cheered up(and have that kind of humor), but if opposite, definitely Serial Experiments Lain.
Asobi Asobase is hilarious
Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise
Despite the name the short and skinny of it is that it’s a young man in a unique world finding something that inspires him; space.
serial experiment lain
Present day, present time. Hahahaha!
It’s Nastume’s Book of Friends for me
The iyashikei genre may be for you. Otherwise I guess it depends on what your preferences are in general, what your boundaries/triggers are, and how you like to deal with your feelings, cause I can personally vouch for everything from magical girl to idol to love comedy to psychological etc as things to watch specifically while feeling depressed.
I guess if I have to name a specific title, I’ll say that at my own lowest point, Sailor Moon was my own comfort watching.
maybe light comedy like osomatsu-san for example…japanese idea of humor is very strange, but that anime is funny
I love that show. You basically can’t predict the plot of any given episode and it’s so fun to watch high.
