 Being depressed can make you feel helpless. You're not. Along with therapy and sometimes medication, there's a lot you can do on your own to fight back. Changing your behavior -- your physical activity, lifestyle, and even your way of thinking -- are all natural depression treatments.

Here are some tips to follow and get rid of depression and after that, I will share you my experience of get depressed and how I got rid of it.

**Tips:**

* Get in a routine.
* Set goals
* Do the good thing that you love.
* Eat healthy
* Exercise
* Get enough sleep
* **Challenge negative thoughts**

**Challenge negative thoughts** :

It is the most difficult one, I know that but it really helps. Negative thoughts are very common and everyone gets them but getting affected by them is the real reason of depression.

The most important things I did to get my life back to normal are above mentioned. Doing something stupid to spend time is just stupid. Use your time creatively and do the thing the you love the most and ignore every thought in your mind.

**How I got Depressed:**

I don't wanna make this post long so just sharing summarised things. I was living alone, don't want to mention the reasons why I was not living with my family or friends. I was living a good life but got infected with Crohn’s disease. This is a very common disease but things serious with me and my symptoms were severe.

I got kicked from my job because I was talking too many offs and was not performing well. I had no savings. I had friends but they remain with me till I had something in my pocket. I got admitted in the hospital. I was very upset and got a permanent migrane. I was very depressed and this was the reason that I was not getting healthy.

The doctor who was treating me, was brilliant and she recommended doing the thing I love. Shew taught me a lot of things and from her personal expense, she bought me [**The Book of Botanical Tangles**](https://www.amazon.com/Book-Botanical-Tangles-Drawings-Create/dp/B08KQVL93C) because I loved drawing.

I did the things that I liked, tried my best to get rid of bad thoughts, and spent most of my time in doing art.

Now here I'm Totally fit, healthy, and doing new job as well.
