I have been going through this phase of depression for well over a year now, and I fear it'll affect me academically on the last year of highschool; starting in August. The biggest problem is that only a total of like 40 days till I'm back in school and can't afford therapy at all.
I reckon the top reason is isolating my self from society for way too long. But how do I get back at it?

Ways to treat garden variety depression without medication or therapy, that you won't use:
>exercise, the more intense the better
>meditation, mindful meditation is fine
>socializing, preferably meeting new people
>doing something new/learn new things, too many benefits to list

>exercise
I've been going to the gym for the last 4 days in a row now and 2 weeks of home exercise at home prior.

Workout harder then. And do that other stuff too, especially the socializing bit. That seems to be your big downfall

its a good start but it takes time. keep working out, its a great habit to have for both confidence and health. i stopped after my ex broke up with me, didnt hit the gym for almost 6 months. while i understand my previous self, i wish i'd have known to go back to the gym sooner

Okay working harder prolongs the lifespan of a bright road, but I fear I might hurt myself from arthritis.
Are there any good sources to deal with it aside from the gym? I'm thinking yoga.
