Go to a therapist or some sort of counselor! It is their job to guide you! They are the ones that really know how to help you. If you have any other close family or friends that you trust, talk to them, they know you best. Anti-depressants really do work, my best friend was on them and she said it really made a difference! Depression sucks, but it will all be over with. And if you think its taking too long to get better, just remember that everyday you're closer to the day where everything will be okay! (:
Stay strong. <3

I feel that talking to someone helps a lot. Someone like a friend that you can get feelings off your chest. Therapy is an option if you can afford it. Therapy focuses a lot on root causes. Why are you depressed and if you can bullet point those issues and attack them one by one you can see how to can overcome those feelings. A lot of the time we make our own issues bigger than they actually are. It sometimes takes someone outside of our head to say that everything is going to be okay. Maybe also seeing your local doctor to see if maybe after a diagnosis that something mild can be prescribed. Hope this helps and feel better.

Benchmarking. I look at the people around me, know their problems, and I realize that I have a good life. Also when you preoccupy yourself with helping others, it takes attention away from you.
