Read up on your condition, and be determined to help yourself. Be your own savior
Do not undermine the importance of things like exercise, eating right and good sleep, even if you struggle with them
Practice mindfulness and gratitude. Remember, there is always something to be grateful for
Confide in loved ones, even if they are not licensed to help you. Venting can help process emotions better
Remember that it is okay to not be okay. Do not feel guilty about your condition
Even if you don't feel like, make an effort to do things you used to enjoy, such as going out, pottery or even music
Mixing with like minded people might help, since you all are sailing in the same boat
There is a silver lining to every cloud. This too, will pass. Stay patient
Friends, while well meaning, are not qualified to help you. Take the help of a therapist who will guide you to the right path
Finally, do not lose hope. Things will get better soon, provided you make an honest effort
