I don't believe it gets better?

...See more My therapist and people say if I just keep doing the things that I'm doing like exercising more and socializing and whatever that I'll start feeling something but I've limited caffiene and alcohol... been exercising a bit more... not been great at socializing and maybe I feel a little less worse sometimes... not good... but a different less intense shade of suckiness... still feel general suckiness. I can't really imagine not feeling that general suckiness. I mean depression never goes away, it's always lurking right? So, even if I do feel better it could come back and it probably will because relapse is pretty common. I don't even know what to do. Not even sure how things are supposed to change. I've felt this way for so long. The process just seems so long and slow and hard and not even sure if it does anything. I mean I'll keep going through the motions as I always have but I just feel like I'll kinda just be this way forever. Just always have this darkness.... whatever it is in there.
Has anyone here actually felt their depression get better?

...See more I'm still partially in denial about my depression, but been dealing with this for a few years. I'm trying to give therapy a real shot, but I'm a bit doubtful it'll even help. I stopped drinking coffee because I think it affects my mood and dunno I guess I'm kind of sleeping better but nothing too crazy. I just feel pretty terrible and it doesn't really seem like I could actually feel different from this. I know it's not going to happen overnight, but it really does feel like I'm just going to kinda feel terrible forever. Anyways, would like to hear if anyone else overcame the worst of it or figured out how to manage their depression better?
