You can’t leave depression untreated. It will gradually start to get worse, if you do. (I’m talking from experience) I was depressed for the longest time, and the best thing I did was that I went to the doctors to find out if I was actually going through depression. If the doctor diagnoses you with depression, you would need to be put on medication. There could be other ways to deal with it, but only a doctor would know. I suggest you talk to one.

Another thing that I always tried to do, was get out more. I forced myself to go out with family or friends, because staying in by yourself isn’t helping. Be with other people. The worst thing when you’re depressed is being alone. Try and go out more, think positive.. and whenever you’re feeling down about something try and do something to get that off your mind. Whenever I had that feeling of depression, I always exercised because that kept my mind off things.

Good luck.
