Learn to get out of your head.

Learn to observe thoughts instead of getting lost in them.

Recognize your brain is having a mood, not that you are that mood.

A lot of stuff from meditation/mindfulness can be quite helpful. There's a book called _The Zen Path through Depression_ that's kind of interesting.

I don't view it as a "fight" rather just a "thing". Depression is normal. Not fun, but normal.

Serious depression may require professional assistance. If whatever it is you're doing isn't working, get that assistance. Reach out to people. In general they care.
