I went through depression it was accute but severe, there was no major reason for having it but it first started with physical symptoms, I went to the doctor and they couldn't find anything wrong with me, I went for a ton of tests, the doctor had me try to talk to someone, at first I was like shes crazy because I'm too proud and depression could never happen to me, after months went by with sleeping not eating properly. I finally went and saw someone when I started wondering what it would be like to die. This started leading to panic attacks. Once I saw someone just twice, I knew the key was too just work through it.
Here were my steps to curing my 6 month depression.
1) Tell your wife
2) Tell your family
3) Keep your same routine daily.
4) Relax for a bitwhen you get home from work, take a bath or whatever.
5) Exercise, it releases alot of chemicals.
6) Some people turn to god, I never did, but I heard it helps.
7) Get medication, I never did, I hate pills if there not life or death.
The days slowly got easier and with time I've been myself the past 3 years, I still get moments of short term depression but the fact that I know I can beat it now definately helps.
