Coping strategies are not a one-size-fits-all sort of thing. It may depend on what strategies you're trying. There's also the possibly of adding medication to your current therapy. Keep trying until you find something that works!

Sometimes the strategies are too generic try talking to a professional. Talking to other people and just spilling out your heart on 7 cups of tea helps too

The coping strategies are to help make it more bearable, but they don't act as a cure for depression. Your depression may never fully go away, but positive coping strategies can help to make it less severe.

There is no magic wand to make depression go away and there are various factors/reasons for depression. Coping skills help you to manage your depression in a healthy manner, they will not make it go away.

You might have clinical depression, which means you genetically have low dopamine levels. If so the coping strategies are only there to make it easier to live with but not take it away.

Coping strategies are different for everyone, what works for you might not work for someone else and vice versa, take note of the strategies that do work and use those as much as you can to overcome depression.
