I have found you can improve your mood by doing different activities and changing the way I think about things. Trying to find a positive outcomr whenever a unhelpful thought comes to mind. I have also found a lot of different apps for the subject matter which has improved my health with different tools such as meditation.

I have been in these shoes! I understand that going through this has been difficult. When I had depression, I wrote in a journal everyday and it seriously helped me get my thoughts out of my head.

Having a weekly schedule, enough physical exercise and enough social interactions with friends worked out for me to be enough. But if you're deeper than shallow it's always a huge lot easier to get help and do it with someone than trying to take on the issue alone. By yourself you literally have half the brain capacity of two people.

I am not an expert to this solution, although I can relate to what you're experiencing. What I can say is try to explore new things by finding safe hobbies. Try to find yourself, ask your friends for support. Try to be open minded about the things around you. Getting out of depression is like trying to open a difficult door, look for people experiencing the same problems as you have but remember to be safe.

It really all depends on how severe your depression is and whats the cause of it , don't feel embaressed to ask for support from your friends and family and of course a therapist if you think that you can't handle it on your own. Other then that there is lots of things you can do for instance writeing a journal and keeping notes of your feelings and your emotinal state , sleeping well , eating a healthy diet , excerciseing on a regular basis , minimizeing stressors and haveing good relationships with friends and family can ease you condition and improve the quality of your life dramaticaly!!!!
