I was diagnosed with depression twelve years ago, and it was actually a relief in a way because lots of things throughout my life made much more sense. I still get bad days, but I control it through meds and exercise (and actually I found exercise to be the better way of treating it). The most important thing to do to fight it is to treat the cause and not the symptoms. Find out exactly what's bringing you down and change it (which is something that most depressives I've talked to don't do). It might not be easy, but it works.
If I can help, feel free to PM me.
