Once I fell in dark depths of depression. Everything lost meaning and I just wanted to stay in bed.

Eventually, I came out of it on my own. I think following things helped:

1. I would cry out loud and pray. I am almost atheist but praying really helped. Almost every morning I needed to cry like a child and pray before getting out of the bed.

2. I didn’t quit my job. Really wanted to. This gave me a reason to get out of bed.

3. Music. I would listen to sad songs and cry out loud with them. Sometimes, I would cry for couple of hours before going to sleep.

4. Tried to not bailout of social situations but I did cut it a lot. It was very hard to put a fake smile.

5. Read a little about CBT and tried to unravel my thoughts.

I don’t remember how and when I got out of depression but I still suffer from anxiety. However, my depression is completely gone and I am a happy person now.
