For me, I've always dealt with constant or intermittent depression with talking through it. It doesn't work for everyone but when talking with someone I feel like there's someone else that not only knows that I'm going through this but is trying to understand what I'm going through. With depression however it can be difficult to do things that can lead to feeling in a more positive manner. It's kind of like a long windy road with many confusing exits. If it's at all possible it would be an excellent idea to get a constant connection with someone to work through it, being able to depend on someone to help, or to have a constant reminder of what you want or are working towards is an excellent way to deal with not only depression but with many other issues.

Just let it be, after sometime it'll fade away. The more you try to distract yourself from depression, the more it'll overwhelm you. Spend some alone time with yourself, when you want to talk to someone try talking to the person who listens to you the most. It'll be alright. Stay Strong!

Depression is just a passing cloud that comes and go while we stand on our feet,never identify with that which comes and goes .

The best way I have found to deal with a depression fallout, is find the number one thing that keeps you going. Whether it's to go to school, a pet, a family member or friend, or to get the life you've always wanted. No matter what it is, keep it in your mind as a reminder of why you fight the depression. My reason is my son. He's why I fight my depression everyday because he needs me.

For spouses/partners/friends/families of depressed individuals, dealing with depression fallout is a frequent reality. But there is a lot that spouses or family can do to help the sufferer and preserve that special bond.Firstly you need to ensure that the depressed is engaged in activities which are safe and that bring positive experiences. A daily check is required to determine the moods and level of support needed and supporters should aim to lighten the day by validating any fears, pains or anxieties that the depressed is undergoing and evaluating subsequent actions based on expressed concerns. You can say things like "its okay to feel this way". Then contribute to their well being by cooking for them, helping them with any activities that they are unable to complete as a result of depression.Finally settle their anxieties n fears by jointly meditating on mindfulness exercises to relax n calm their aggitated states. Any help afforded to a depressed individual will be appreciated later after the fallout when the depressed person is in a better shape. Otherwise provide all the help that you can give but allow some space for the depressed to process their emotions too.🌻

Survive. Allow yourself to rest as much as possible; whatever responsibilities you can hand off to somebody else, do it. Whatever self care you can muster, do it. Talk to people, on here or in your personal life. Hang in there, and just survive, until you can live your life again.

Remember that everything is always changing around you and so will the depression. Hobbies are a great way to help you focus elsewhere

I cannot stress the importance of self care enough when trying to overcome bouts of depression, or any mental illness. Do something you enjoy, spends some time on yourself and if you are able, share your feelings with someone who you trust and can support you. Mostly, take care of yourself.
