a year long period for depression is damn tough and for one thing you should really be glad that you have made it this far. depression isn't something that can be taken away at the snap of a finger so here is a few things that might help.
Firstly taking those pills for depression doesn't really help, it just makes you completely disable like all feeling has been sucked out of you so that isn't really a great step.
Secondly take up a hobbie and do something you are good at, such as a sport or something. set goals with these hobbies and try to conquer them. The thing that boosts a person's personal moral is to achieve something that you set your goals on. when you successfully and regularly achieve personal goals it will help improve your confidence and your own personal attitude.
Its easy for me to blabble on about what you can do, but think of it this way you can sit here and have thoughts plaguing your mind or achieve something with yourself.
I wish you the best of luck, depression is one of the hardest obstacles in life and once you gain that mental edge you'll come out a strong person.
let us know how things are going. And just think back to what you have done in the past and how highly people value you. like the old cliche says, action speak louder than words. Just look at the people you are surrounded with and how they treat you, they obviously wouldn't treat you with the loving care and respect if you weren't lovable. Sometimes you need to stop and think about things like that. In this day and age we don't stop and really appreciate what we have so attempt to do so.
so about the long read, but depression is one tough cookie to break and i've seen many people overcome their depression to come out a better people. I
KNOW you will be one of them
