Surround yourself with positive people and try not to isolate yourself. Ways to help depression depends on the severity. If it's extreme, that requires therapy and most likely medication. However, if you are like me, it takes a lot of practice and self discovery on what helps you during your times of sadness or emptiness. (Depression isn't always about feeling sad, sometimes it's not feeling anything at all). Personally I take deep breaths and tell myself that it will pass, because it always does. My depression swings in for a bit but I always come back up after a while and those are the moments I look forward to and hang on to to keep me pushing through ❤️
