How do you find your happiness

When you feel like that depression is settling in, and this is it.
How do you find that happiness?
How do you find the power to see another day?
When depression hugs you and says, “this is what you deserve and this is where you belong” how do you say, “no I deserve better”
What helps you?

That's a good question. A few months ago I suffered the worst bout of depression I'd had in years and found that talking to a close friend about how I was feeling really helped. I'm currently on the verge of another bout, but have found coming on here to be a good distraction.

That’s exactly what I do, I only have one person who I share all my deepest thoughts with. The first time I blurted out when having a meltdown , he came back with good help and advice. He then told me that he is autistic. We have some amazing conversations which in my opinion can only happen between two autistic people. Obviously only my opinion.
