For those of you that suffer depression, how do you get yourself out of a depressive episode?

Relax and destress my gaming, reading and exercising. And when I do it, I sometimes feel Ishould be doing somwthing productive, then I tell myself. "I am. I am being productive in tending my mind, my stress and my negative feelings through relaxing."

If I have someone, I talk through what my problems are or just spebd time together.

When I'm depressed, I also accept I am going to perform lower in every function of my life. Work will suffer. Concentration will suffer. Judgement will suffer. i will see myself as the victim more often. I will give into bad habits more often. I accept everything performs worse because I am depressed. Since I've accepted that a lot, it doesn't depress me more that I am in such a state. My mind only has so much energy and acuity, even less when depressed.

These are my acticivities and pit falls I activly account for. I also don'y engage in negative activities like politics, thinking of others poor behaviour or thinking badly of myself. Because every negative behaviour is amplified and worse when depressed.
