What has helped you battle your depression?

It's the most frustrating feeling because some days I feel okay (I mean as okay as possible) and then somedays (like today) I just feel like a complete piece of shit. I can logically think of the ways that I am not but it doesn't seem to even put a dent in the feelings I have. I keep telling myself "you can do this, you're stronger than this" and I really believe it then other days I'm lucky if I can muster a fake smile.

Medication scares me because I've heard the feelings are worse when you try to get off of them. And from secondhand personal experience, I've not seen much improvement with them.

My mother has been depressed for as long as I can remember and has been on every medication possible accompanied with therapy and she seems no different and in some ways, she's worse. I'm scared to get to that point. But I'm also scared to keep going and feeling the way that I am.

Can you tell me how things have changed for you? I really like hearing that change is possible and hearing how another's life was changed.
