Eating fresh fruits and veggies are good for depression.
Exercise is good, even if it just a walk.
Get sun and stop caffein intake for it has a negative effect on depression.
Work on journaling your thoughts, this helps slow down your anxiety which causes doom and gloom thinking or depression.
Find themes in your writing so that you can stop the cycle of negative self talk that becomes circular.
I hope this helps,
see someone if you need to, no shame in that.
GOOD LUCK,

Chocolate actually helps… in moderation. Chocolate releases some of the same endorphins in your brain that exercise does, which naturally makes you feel happier.
Strangely, salsa (hot peppers and cilantro) and chocolate
Carbs help, in my experience–a good sized bowl of pasta will lift your mood. Totally agree with the idea of a balanced diet, tho. Good luck to you–depression sucks.
Omega 3 fatty acids are known to help longterm relieve some depression symptoms. These can be found in fish, and many nuts, although you can also buy pills. Eating healthy will make your body feel better and give you the vitamins and minerals you need on a daily basis, giving you the best chance to recover quickly from depression symptoms.
Eating poorly to make yourself feel better will make your body feel worse, worsening depression symptoms, and just feeds the depression cycle. Good luck,..
