I may have ask this before but im not too sure.

So it leems i wont be able to get into theripy anytime soon for some dumb reasons and also some family members problems have to be taken care of first like surgerys and whatnot.

I have depression pretty badly which kinda runs in the modern age like a plague and im not sure what to do with it, im not even sure what to do now or in the future. i feel very lost and stuck while being in some sort of werid loop. it dosent help how i have autism which also stinks. it feels like i always want things instanly or my interest changes every day, which is prety annoying and im limited in many ways.

what can i do to help with depression and life?..

    No advice won’t help immediately, that’s a given. What helped me are a few things that compounded upon one another. The first thing is to be thankful for what does go right. You’d be surprised how well this works after awhile. Keep a journal, mark how you feel in the morning and at night, but always note something you appreciate.

    Secondly, and I cannot stress this enough, read. It can be fantasy or anything, really. What’s important is that you walk in someone else’s shoes for a bit, this will help with perspective, and being seen. It might even help teach you something. It all depends.

    Third, read some more. This time, don’t just read fantasy, read some selfhelp books with a psychology slant to them. Trust me. It’ll offer insight into how you think, and point out certain things you didn’t realize. I suggest “The Power of Habit” and “Smarter Faster Better” by Charles Duhigg - one of these comes first. I also suggest “The Power of Grit” by Angela Duckworth, and “Atomic Habits” by James Clear.

    Knowing yourself gives you power over yourself. Goodluck.
