Betting on a market downturn

I'm really bearish... like, thinking we are heading for a near-depression in a few months. No need to argue about that though.

The reason for my question - does anyone have thoughts about how best to bet on this? I assume PUTS, but I've got some concerns about betting against the SPY and was thinking about something more creative.

E.g. betting against discretionary spending indexes? REITs that are focused on corporate real estate? Retailers with complex supply-chains? (bec of tarriffs)

Looking for ideas!
