I may have ask this before but im not too sure.

So it leems i wont be able to get into theripy anytime soon for some dumb reasons and also some family members problems have to be taken care of first like surgerys and whatnot.

I have depression pretty badly which kinda runs in the modern age like a plague and im not sure what to do with it, im not even sure what to do now or in the future. i feel very lost and stuck while being in some sort of werid loop. it dosent help how i have autism which also stinks. it feels like i always want things instanly or my interest changes every day, which is prety annoying and im limited in many ways.

what can i do to help with depression and life?....

That's a good question, and the answer will be unique to you. My answer to not letting myself continually get sucked into lethargy over and over again was to tell myself "What good is free will if i am not going to do anything with it?" I make the decision everyday to keep my intertia towards delaying that dark cloud from consuming me. It's not easy to do, and took several breaking points to get there. Heck, i may fall back into it, but today i decide for myself to delay it.
