Best thing to cure depression is to get away from your computer, throw it out of your window, bash it into pieces, then blow your router to pieces, go outside and do proper things. The western world is kind of depressing anyways tough, since all that matters is money and materialism.
I've had several long depressions myself but got tired of being dead inside, and neither did I want to just give up and do myself in, so I started changing myself and my life, instead of avoiding challenges and my fears I started facing them head on, and stopped feeling pity for myself, so far it's worked good, I've slowly climbed from a deep black hole of misery and shit up to a place wher I can feel happy and enjoy life for most of the time. Nowadays I'm just happy for all the shit I've been trough, since it made me grow as a human. It's your own responsibility to make your life good, noone else can do it for you.
Your post was meaningful and moving, and I was almost completely won over by your words until I scrolled down just a little bit more and your signature showed, making your whole post lose credibility. LOL
