If you are diagnosed with Depression, severe or otherwise, follow your care provider's instructions to a "t." Don't stop taking your meds because you "feel better." You "feel better" BECAUSE you're taking your meds. Don't be afraid to reach out for help. People will understand and support you MUCH more than you think. Also, take care of yourself. FORCE yourself to go for a walk- even if it's just to the sidewalk and back. Just keep moving even if it seems impossible. Some days you won't do anything and that's fine. Don't beat yourself up over it. Just try again the next day. Whatever you do, do NOT give up! NEVER surrender to it.
