One major thing that happens when you are depressed is that you no longer want to do the things you used to do or be who you were. We are what we do, and changing that isn’t good for us. If you want to get better you need to be deliberate, you need to carefully bring yourself to the former better version. When a system is malfunctioning they fix it most times by taking back to where it was before, that is restarting it. You need to do that, carefully gradually go back to who you were, before the sadness and see how much better you get.

Start by doing the things you used to do, start small and climb your way up, learn to love what you used to love before, everything is learned. Learn to be happy again.

The only way you can successfully do anything is to be deliberate about it, make the decision, draw a plane and follow it.
