I hear you, I’ve been in deep bouts of depression since my early teens.
In my case, I started to consistently feel better when I became a part of a community that was doing something. Organising, taking some form of action, and connecting with people who had shared goals and who’ve been through similar struggles as myself.
Over the years I’ve worked on my depression by myself a lot, engaging in hobbies, working out, etc. but the improvements were always temporary. It wasn’t until I started fighting for something with others that I stopped sliding down into the abyss, even through bad days.
It’s just my experience, I hope you can make it out as well.
Good.
