It is impossible to be cognizant when depressed so this article is replying to the question offered during periods of alertness.
No matter what anyone says - do not try to pull yourself up by the boot strings - because all that will do is knock you on your butt.
The most instructive thing to do at the best of times is to ignore anyone who knows nothing about the brain but thinks they do.
Thank then quite pleasantly and proceed intuitively! Humour - humour - humour is better than location - location - location, especially if that location is a hospital hmmm! According to Dr.

Identify whether you are suffering situational depression or clinical depression.
A) Situational Depression: Almost every person and in fact life form suffers this malady at one point in their life or more and it is curable through lifestyle changes.
I) exercise, 2) humor, 3) diet, 4) meditation, 5) music, 6) gardening, 7) outdoor activities.
B) One of the most important mechanisms of all is - L O V E.
We do not love enough because we do not know how, which is the saddest acknowledgement after thousands of years of living.
Learn to love with absolute purity because as you grow in love you develop a realization that life is really quite simple.
Unnecessarily we throw rocks and obstacles preventing simplicity from caressing our life.
C) Clinical Depression: This is much more severe and requires additional accompaniment of resources including the above suggestions.
D) Unfortunately those victims of clinical depression are often abandoned because no one knows what to do when all you want to do is stay in bed, in darkness no less, and decline all activities even eating.
Quietness is so important and that is why most sufferers live alone, which is not exactly a good thing but prevents their life from being intolerably invaded.
Depression is not the end of the world no matter the format it arrives but the sooner one accepts a strategy for living the fewer struggles shall arise, which in turn creates some semblance of living.
As soon as the first signs of darkness begin to wane commence exercising even if only a hundred yards / 100 meters or thereabouts.
Gradually increase as appetite returns but do increase your water intake as quickly as possible.
It is assured that during the darkness glasses of water at regular intervals shall assist towards a lightening of mood.
Avoid excessive sugary drinks and foods.
A journal is essential to map your journeys through light and darkness whereby during the onset of the twilight zone you may recognize symptoms and offset the full onslaught of darkness.
Writing is an excellent act and a most trustworthy ally towards combating mood swings of any dimension not just depression.
Get your thoughts and feelings on paper as clearly as possible and please do not worry about editing them.
Remember you are relevant, you are important and life is yours for the living but you must be proactive at all times.
Yes there shall be occasions when you shall be taken by surprise but gradually even surprises shall not dilly dally as previously experienced because you are proactive.
Depression remains a problem when victims remain victims and it is in every one of us to be conquerors.
There is no rush as healing is a process worthy of time to adjust, but do not slip and slide like a car on ice indefinitely.
Take charge of your life and do not allow the malady to dominate.
You are worthy of life and living with love leading the way so please walk with confidence and you shall triumph.
Join organisations like G R O W, an Australian based twelve step program, which is available in every corner of the globe.
This group is well worth your full participation for as long as you require their assistance.
Do give yourself a chance and ask assistance and love from close family and friends as well as work associates too.
Meditation with brainwave entrainment is magnificently splendiferous and worth exploring but take baby steps.
Your brain is a receiver as well as a transmitter thus the brain responds to realignment.
Brainwaves accurately directed work marvelously, brilliantly and successfully.
The penultimate but by no means least - please do not shrink into the shadows as this is a fate worse than death.
Develop hobbies; even one you love is better than a whole slew of them.
Finally for now anyway, write 'I LOVE YOU' notes and stick them in conspicuous places remembering to change their locations occasionally so as not to aspire to apathy.
Say YES to your universe and walk with deliberate positivity acting successfully convincing your subconscious that yes you are healing and healed.
Remember there is no cure like management and if you desire to live fruitfully then be the best manager of your life ever conceived.
You are worth it is not just a cliché, it is a lifestyle change.
Namaste!
