Whenever Im in depression, there's always a way out for me coz I
will tell myself 
If this is
the lowest in life I can hit, I cant go any lower but to go UP in
life. Since life can only goes UP, I can decide how long I wanna
stay in the lowest pit or to create the highest peak in my
life.
It's true that you can only help yourself, even a professional will
tell you so but they can guide you along the way to acknowledge the
impt but in the end, the decision leaves to you. Depression is
uncontrollable but preventable, recognisable abd solvable. Nothing
is impossible unless you decide so.
It's a gd sign that you have recognise having depression, there's
help. Try to keep yourself occupied, avoid things or pple who bring
your mood down. Stay close with pple who can make you happy, not
neccessarily frenz, it can be a stranger, like an old ah-ma whom
you see daily picking up cans for livelihood but she can still
maintain her smile everyday in her life though life has been harsh
on her. Learn to see that there are far more pple in this world who
have BETTER reasons to go into depression but they did not.
Keep talking to pple to divert your attention on your stuffs.
Example, visit Aunt Agony often (Devil, remember to pay me
advertisment fee 
), try to help
these pple solve their problems by lending a hand. When you do so,
you will feel much more better that you are recognised and
developing a sense of satisfaction.
Divulge in HEALTHY activities that you enjoy. Can be cooking,
swimming, cycling, jogging & etc.... Juz remember to keep your
siprit up
