Any tips to help soothe depression

I'm 23 and i have depression, anxiety and audhd.

I graduated in the summer and ever since everything has felt hard to do due to me hating big changes and the unknown future. In addition coming back home hasn't been helping due to my family not being affectionate or caring at all so the only person i can talk to is my best friend.

When I'm depressed i constantly feels like i'm on a tightrope and anything can tip me over into depression and i can never seem to get out of it. It seeps all the joy i have and makes me want to hit my head to soothe the pain.

Any tips and advice would help me go through adulthood and help my depression. Also i live in the uk and I'm considering therapy but it feels too much for me rn and i don't know what to do.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask me, thank you for listening.

  • dunno, i just put up with it until it drove me to get a job, then when i got a job it went for a few months but came back and made me want to quit the job but i held on and the job does help in making it fade into the background a bit better and makes you able to take it day by day. plus all the positives the job brings helps too, the fact you gain money and you see your life progressing and you being able to get a home and all sorts kinda helps.
