Depending on how desperately you are feeling seek immediate help, even by simply going and talking to people about it or anything.
Depression can be a day-to-day life time battle, however, in my experience, it comes in patches and you deal with it in that day-to-day way. The patches can be short or long.
All of the basic shit is important and there are medications available, if needed, that are becoming more effective as they go along.
It is an illness and you have to treat it that way. You are not being silly for the way you think when you are depressed, it is a symptom of the illness. You simply have to be aware of the illness and treat yourself as being ill.
Stopping the negative self-talk during my batches has been the most important thing for me.
