This is the perfect era to cope up with Depression.

 Suddenly!! A big hazy cloud of thought came and swallowed all the happiness. Is this monster really makes our life so difficult?

When you’re depressed, you can’t just will yourself to “snap out of it.” But it is said that every problem has a solution. So there are some coping strategies that can help you to deal with depression and put you on the road to recovery. First of all, I must say that Control your stress with activities such as meditation. Eat healthy, exercise, and get enough sleep. Most adults need 7-9 hours of sleep per night. Avoid using alcohol and recreational drugs, which can worsen symptoms and make depression harder to treat. Sometimes you may feel too exhausted to talk, ashamed at your situation, or guilty for neglecting certain relationships. But this is just the depression talking. Staying connected to other people and taking part in social activities will make a world of difference in your mood and outlook. Reaching out is not a sign of weakness and it won't mean you're a burden to others. Your loved ones care about you and want to help. And if you don't feel that you have anyone to turn to, it's never too late to build new friendships and improve your support network. It's really nice to receive support, but sometimes research shows you get an even bigger mood boost from providing support yourself. So find ways—both big and small—to help others: volunteer, be a listening ear for a friend, do something nice for somebody. Small circle, private life,self love is always best. Being with others dealing with depression can go a long way in reducing your sense of isolation. You can also encourage each other, give and receive advice on how to cope, and also you can share your experiences.
