I think I’m depressed again, but I can’t get into counselling for another 2 months. What should I do?

Combined with some year old trauma, a failed business start up, financial problems and a serious pressure to succeed, I think my depression is coming back. I feel so guilty because I’m in the best relationship of my life and yet here I am. I won’t be able to get counselling for 2 months. What can I do until then?

In my experience the best way to battle depression is to verbally talk about it and open up to someone (anyone, that you feel you can trust).

Heck during one depression, I opened up to my neighbors Golden Retriever and would just spend 30+ mins petting and talking with the dog that just wanted to be petted and loved on.

But in my experience, physically talking to someone in real life has helped most.

There are also some apps that are said to help depression, though I know very little about them, or if they work.
