I struggled (and am still struggling) with depression. Honestly, until i started seeing a therapist, I didn't really consider it depression. Qualifying hopelessness was a really weird thing to me. Even now, I'm hesitant to call what i have depression despite it apparently fitting all the symptoms; i just assume I'm too retarded to comprehend basic static social and moral structures.
I never did see a way out of it and I still don't really. I was a shut-in and it was probably easier for me to be a shut-in because I'm in college and don't live with my parents. I ended up failing all of my courses in a whole year once (my parents don't know). One of the worst times was when I didn't get out of my bed for a whole month except to get some food, take a shit and shower (every couple of days). I spent an entire month in bed, eating garbage food and watching twitch streams and anime.
Until I finally saved enough money (with my parents covering what was left) to buy a gaming computer was when it was the worse. Now, whenever i start feeling sad, i just play video games so i end up playing a lot of video games. I imagine it would fit under any hobby you have or something that needs a lot of attention and time that you don't mind devoting to. Anime doesn't work because anime is through the lens of an audience; it has narrative and that narrative fits how you want it to fit.
I guess what I'm saying is that you can't think or rationalise your way out of depression because its counter-logical and self-defeating. The moment you think you have a leg up on it, it'll collapse onto itself. I used to think that if i read more philosophy and books in general (with narrative, that is) that I'd gain perspective, enough perspective, that I'd be able to think my way out of it but it doesn't work. The only thing you can do is just not think about your life in context of having a life.

Honestly I handle it pretty bad. I feel guilty for being so sad and depressed all the time so I try to help others deal with their problems but never deal with my own.
Sometimes I buy them a gift to cheer them up. It's easier to bring someone else up than help myself.

Im still dealing with it but not on a daily basis, so here are some tips:
Go to the street everyday. You can start running like 10 minutes a day. Its pretry useless but it helps.
Get a gf.
I stop a little with videogames, series, movies... Im still playing but like only one week per month (for example, im planning on finishing TBOIsaac on Christmas). I try to read some books and focus on trying some new hobbies.
Study or get a job. Have a routine.
I know these are lame af but they work. I just do shit everyday and when i have some lows (like today) my gf is there. When you keep doing shit, sometimes you hit on a sweet spot and you will start feeling better.
Depression is fucking horrible.

Shut the fuck up. This only works if you are a mommy's favorite white person. If you are a shitskin living in some actual third world shithole, you have no fucking chance. Going out will just make it worse (unless you live in the nicer parts of your country) as you fear getting robbed, killed or witnessing it. Getting a gf could be easier or more difficult depending on your circumstances, though the point still remains, getting a gf will not cure your depression and it could potentially make it worse. I have no fucking money for video games I want. To fucking die. Every hobby is a money investment. Fuck everything, I'll end up as a schizo. White boys, you have it easy, so enjoy it. Know that there are some people in the world that are living through hell.
Depression is Horrible, and can get worse depending on your circumstances.

>Get a gf.
you can't be serious. do you understand you have to be a social expert to do that? There's a fuck ton of really complicated things you have to know, a ton of skills you have to practice and develop, and a whole social value structure you need to learn to navigate before you have any hope of doing that. And if you are able to do that, then it's a game you have to play every day worrying over every next move and stressing because you don't get clear, instant feedback on anything.
You need to be a social expert in order to do that. so you must be a social expert. if you're a social expert, then you must be normal, so what the fuck are you doing here?
