Major depression is a serious condition and quite often requires the help of specialists i.e. psychiatrists to find the right medication and/or a psychologist to use various forms of psychotherapy. It can be treated quite successfully.
A good book to read is "Feeling Good" by David Burns.
Some other ideas that come to mind are:
1. Look after yourself - lots of good food, sleep and exercise.
2. Try to think of thoughts that make you feel good.
3. Write down all the things that are bothering you.
4. Listen to music.
5. Educate yourself as much as possible on the subject.
6. Have faith that there are a lot of good caring people out there.
7. Join a support group.
8. If you are religious, pray and ask for help.
I really appreciate your input on this forum, and hope you feel better soon.
