how did you handle it?
@eladar saidYou can also buy a SAD light box, designed to help people feeling depressed during the winter months.
@lemondrop
If you get down during the winter you might want to try vitamin D.
My wife was on antidepressants but had to stop them when she got pregnant and has never gone back to them.
What she said really helped her was a combination of vitamin D and Rhodiola.

@gambrel saidProfessional help is often overrated. The best cure for depression is work. These experts only try to make money off depressed people. Your marriage is on the rocks, your kids are misbehaving, your boss fired you, you have financial difficulty, you have a drug problem? Keeping yourself busy is the solution.

Go find something to do. End of story.

@rajk999 saidWhat you know remains to be recognised by me. What you're talking about is enduring the issues, not working to move past them. I offer you a quote from a well known mental health practitioner.
I know. Psychiatrists love people like you.
“What is true is already so. Owning up to it doesn't make it worse. Not being open about it doesn't make it go away. And because it's true, it is what is there to be interacted with. Anything untrue isn't there to be lived. People can stand what is true, for they are already enduring it.”

If you suffer from depression one of the first things you should do is have bloodwork done to see if you are deficient in any nutrients.
Force yourself to get some exercise, you do not need to run, just walking is enough. As a former competitive athlete this has been a huge change in perspective. I used to think if your shirt is not drenched in sweat, then you are not working out. Find something you do not mind doing so you will keep it up.
There are several natural supplements that can help. I already mention Rhodiola, but you can also try St. John's Wort and ashawanga.
With a solid foundation many people will self correct. If this does not work the get professional help.
