Get therapy. If you want to overcome depression you have to know where it came from. Probably from your mom or dad.

Stop being a pussy and letting imaginary things get you down.
Depression and Anxiety are pussy afflictions.

This is my life. Here's some things that I've found help:

- Accomplish something every day, even if it's really minor. Like reading a chapter in a book, or getting some exercise.
- Find things to be positive about. Even on the worst of days you can still find little things to appreciate.
- Keep some sort of a routine. Ideally not too strict as you want to have time to try new things.

Be a big strong manly man like muah chopped one whole log once shoulda seen my forearms

The best I've got is to distract and improve. If you can't do one of the many things to improve, then distraction is ok so long as it is a null distraction and not negative to your quality of life. It's a tricky balance. You need to tell yourself what you're doing some days. It's stupid but helpful. Tell yourself you're getting up. Tell yourself you're showering. Tell yourself to leave the house on time. Even if you're just going through the motions, it's better than rotting.
