Sorry to hear that you're not feeling okay. I've been feeling that way as well lately. I hope you know that you're not alone. At the end of the day, there's always someone there for you, no matter how alone you feel. It's cliche but it is a good reminder. I sympathize with you in fighting the depression. It's good that you are trying to overcome it. I don't know how you're fighting depression, but personally I do too much in general. Sometimes I feel like I try to keep myself busy, and maybe I'm not dealing with my pain enough. One thing that I've learned for sure is that doing too much can result in something unwanted at times. There have been times where I've tried so hard to overcome my pain in depression that I ended up "ignoring" my underlying feelings and breaking down at some point. It's good to try and stay positive, but I've learned that every now and then (I'm not putting a time limit on it) it's okay to just be. Just be. Sit down or lay down and let my thoughts pass, and even pray. I've found that some of the times where I've just sat down and let my thoughts pass were times where I ended up having a cry or a solution coming up unexpectedly, or even feeling a little better. Someone that I follow on YouTube mentioned a few times that depression is basically getting "deep-ressed" (depressed pun). Hearing that has helped me to cope a little better. If I feel very broken then maybe I just need to recuperate or think a few things over or let the thoughts pass. Music helps too. Listening to motivating songs or songs that reflect how you feel. I hope that you're feeling a little better, and I don't know if any of this helps, but I hope you find peace anyhow.
