I've been depressed almost my entire life, and I've tried thousands of things to get out of it. So far I've tried:
>Getting over it and growing a pair, as my father said
>Seeing a psychologist
>Exercise
>Meditation
>A second psychologist
>Doing "what I love in life"
>Suicide (I was too stupid and got caught)
>A third psychologist
>Reaching to my family for help
>Reaching to my friends for help
>Reaching to total strangers for help (and now I'm doing it again)
>Seeing a fourth psychologist
I really don't want to stay like this. I really don't want to kill myself, and I know I lack the courage at this point. But I don't know what else to do, and staying in my room browsing the internet to not think about it all only helps some days. I don't want to die, but I'm sure that living like this is way worse.
Have you tried hard labor? It worked wonders for me, personally.

Got it from this gem.
It was a quote after his short story "Big Sam was my Friend".

Let me adjust your list to limit it to things that may have been effective:
>Getting over it and growing a pair, as my father said
>Exercise
Try to stick to those and go from there.

I can tell you with certainty that the answers are not in a self-help book, they are a scam. But from one depressed husk to another, I have one piece of advice: Steer your life into a different direction. Don't be paralyzed over choice, pick a path and go down it. Most often, there isn't a "right" choice, what really matters is that you MAKE A CHOICE. If you try the same thing over and over, you're likely to get similar results.
