@IsabelleJ Personally, I found for me one of the best ways to cope is simply talking to people. Talking to my friends and having them remind me of who I am, how much they care for me, etc which while it may not solve anything, it does relieve the pressure and heavy weight a bit. Then I like to do something that I enjoy and cheers me up a bit like watching a youtube video, or coloring/ drawing. Finally, the last thing that helps me cope is helping other people since it reminds me that I do have meaning in this world and a purpose, which then helps further motivate me to continue with life.
I have found the best way to cope with depression is to help others who are less fortunate. By helping others I can remain humble and help my sense of gratitude.
