how do I overcome depression?

Certainly not by posting sad cats.

Better start telling us what is wrong with your life, what have you tried to improve it and why it failed.

How is your social life?
How is your physical health?
What happened that made you get into college so late?
What's your reason for being depressed?
Why do you want a girlfriend?
What are your hobbies or interests?
Do you have other dreams besides game making?
What do you want from your life?

Here's what I did.
>catch your negative thinking
>find a positive spin on what you were just thinking about
>use a punishment system like a rubber band when you get depressed thoughts if you need to
>once you've stopped being depressed start trying to experience move things
>move out, go to college, gain a taste for the arts
>improve yourself physically
>gain a skill which you turn into a prosperous career
>depression won't come back
I owned depression.

Kek I found out the other day that there's a form of depression that you have all your life and it's constant with some days being gloomy rather than really depressed. Sounds like hell. I think I might have it but I haven't had the tests done to confirm it.
Persistent depressive disorder or dysthymia.

YOU THINK 4CHAN KNOWS THE ANSWERS? BE MORE SPECIFIC.

In my personal experience with depression, there's a not a single quote or shitty half-assed suggestion out there that's going to fix your problem. People telling you to exercise? Do yoga? Eat right? Tell you to put a positive spin on things?

Fuck those guys. There's a worm at your core. Something that nags you. For lack of a better word, there's probably something that triggers your depression. Until we know more about your situation, we can only take random stabs at what it could be.

Maybe you're failing a class, and you're a perfectionist so a single slap on the wrist sends you in deep.

Maybe you've been told all your life that real men should be knee deep in pussy at your age and you're not.

Maybe you're late getting into college and being surrounded by younger people makes you feel like you're a loser.

What I'm saying is that you may have a vulnerability that's bleeding your ego dry and sinking you into a depression. It could be multiple things. It's not a quick fix, but if the cause of your depression is something like that, you can make a plan.

Lift weights. Seriously.

I'm not sure it's possible. It's becoming terminal for me.

Just don't let it get terminal. You can do that, right?
