Fighting my own depression

So, the past few days have been a struggle for me.  I have been battling my own mind.  I have learned a lot about myself in just this short period of time. 
  • I learned that only I can beat my depression.  Others can help, but ultimately, it's up to me to conquer the demons that take over my mind.
  • I learned that I am really a jerk when I get depressed.  I am rude, selfish and an all-out meanie.  I do feel horrible for the way I treat others when I get depressed.
  • I learned that I am unfair to myself.  I do not give myself the benefit of the doubt.  I beat myself up.
What can I do to change these things?
  • Cry.  I have to let loose and let my tears fly.  It helps me release all those feelings.
  • Write.  I write my feelings, save them or throw them away depending on how they make me feel when I read them.
  • Let others help me.  I try and let others help me.  I feel better knowing there are people who care about me.  It helps me boost my self-esteem and in turn, theirs as well.
