Sorry you are going through this. In the UK, the NHS recommends exercise as an effective way of help mild to moderate depression. You may hate the idea, itβs worked for me in the past. That can be as simple as going out for a short, brisk walk. I hope you get some relief soon.

Can second this. I've recently been diagnosed with it but I know I've had it for years. The one time that I was doing fine was when I really got into the gym. Not obsessing over nutrition, just keeping an eye on what I was eating and what I could lift. It got bad once again when I had to stop going to focus on college.
Got back into it a month back and the difference isn't night and day, but it certainly helps.
