Hi
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?
Hi, I haven't worked out a fool proof way to deal with depression. Some things that help me are listening to a playlist of all the good songs. Looking at videos of the sea or flowers (I love Gardner's World because Monty Don's voice is really chill) And sometimes I just accept that I feel low and get into bed (if I have time) and just wait it out telling myself that it will pass, sometimes an event like dinner or sleep is enough of a pivot point for me to bring myself out of it (not always though)
My main advice would be "pack the parachute in advance" so put things in place to help you before you feel depressed so you don't have to think about it too much when you are low. And I've heard that doing things that make you feel good every day is a good way to keep yourself in a better frame of mind so that your are less likely to slip into depression often.
Hope your days get easier to deal with 
Also, not sure this is the best advice, but if I'm feeling suicidal I tell myself that suicide is the easy way out and that if I really hate myself as much as I claim, I will force myself to live thr
ough the pain of living. Not proud of it but that's my last resort thought and it does help me.
