I do, since I was little. It’s very hard sometimes to get out, a lot of people around me helped me before but after some episodes they just think you’re dramatic. Dealing with depression and anxiety it’s not a joke, and if it happens constantly, you must go see a doctor, there’s nothing wrong about that, accept that you need help.
Now, my episodes of depression were from 5-6 per year to 1-3 when I started doing this:
-Accept that I was depress. You can try too hard to keep smiling and pretend that everything’s alright, but just when you let your body rest being honest is when you can change the situation.
-Find help. Ask for help to your family and friends, be honest, tell them everything’s going on in your head and heart, even if it’s just one person, but say everything.
If it happens constantly, I do recommend go see a doctor, just to be sure.
Express yourself. Cry, scream, sleep, all that you need so your body can breath again.
Keep yourself busy. Find something you enjoy, if coding is getting frustrating take a little break, go walk, travel for a weekend, go out with friends, the important think is stop faking and start doing things to makes us happy again.
Help someone. A lot of times when I was depress I did a clean up of clothes, toys, everything I had and went to charity, stayed for a while and accept that my problems are not that big comparing to others. Sometimes making someone else happy makes us happy.
