A good support system is really helpful in dealing with depression. Having a trusted friend or family member you can speak to on especially hard days goes a long way for most people. When depression is especially severe, it may be necessary to see a professional. Regular therapy, or in some cases, medication, can help get you back on track. Remember to never self-diagnose. If you haven't yet been properly diagnosed with depression, but suspect you may have it, I highly encourage you to speak with your doctor.

The best way is to talk to a good doctor and combine that with medication that works best for you. It will take time and effort. Having a friend you can talk to about how you feel helps a bit in the short term.

Leave the person who is abusing you.

@Lovelyelaine101 it's a start. I also took up dance classes - they're fun, the concentration involved means no dwelling on negative and it's exercise which releases endorphins. I did tap, line and belly dancing. Very few men if any so if being around men is an issue then these types of classes have none or very few.

I'm guessing you're abuser was a man?

Also I only ate healthy food except for at weekends because healthy food helps with feeling better.

@Lovelyelaine101 However much time you have available to give to yourself use it. Use it do things that nourish you - dancing, painting, eat well - or whatever you think you may enjoy that is healthy for you.

The energy you put into the relationship put into you.

I know it's infuriating to be abused, feel powerless and trapped. You're free now and it's ok to be angry about it. Anger is energy. Use the energy to care for yourself as you would care for a dear friend or relative.

Exercise, eat good food, go for walks, talk to people privately and being productive.

Praying also helps.
