How do I cure my depression and sadness?

I don’t want to feel sad and depressed anymore but I also don’t know how to stop being sad. I’ve become too familiar with sadness that I’m scared I won’t feel anything later but I might as well try. Can anyone give me any tips to help me?

therapy was what helped me. if you are unable to go to therapy now, maybe try to journal about how you feel and try to track what it is in a moment that triggers that sadness. opening up to someone/journaling was what helped me as well, also (as cliche as it sounds) doing new things would make me feel something. just don’t give up in trying, it won’t immediately feel better because sometimes sadness becomes our comfort zone. you got this!

@palmtree thank you for you advice but how do I track what makes me sad in a journal?

@WOW355 i meant more as in trying to see if there is something specifically that triggers some emotions like sadness
