Answers:
Dealing with depression is not easy but you've started on the right step by taking effort to seek help.

You can seek counsel at your local church. Churches have great connections and most offer counseling. Being a member has benefits by connecting you to the help you need. A counselor with the same faith beliefs is a tremendous benefit.

1) Surround yourself with positive people, people with great attitudes, the type of person you wish to be
2) stay away from negative people and alcohol.
3) Eating right will help,
4) make sure you aren't allergic to Shell Fish before taking St. John's Wart, for some reason it too can cause same reaction.
5) Stabilize your metabolism, imbalance can cause depression, "Relacore" is an excellent vitamin. (I use it and it works)
6) Excercise, yes it helps
7) Upbeat and positive music, any style, choose wise listening with encouraging and positive words.

"Beauty for Ashes" by Joyce Meyer

Your doctor is a good place to start. He can place you on some form of anti depressant and it's amazing after the initial 2 to 3 weeks, how improved your life becomes. He can also refer you to a good counselor who can help you sort through the problems so they cease to exist or become manageable. The one thing you can't do successfully is get over it on your own without help. You made a great choice to ask and it's awesome that you recognize the depression exists in your life. Best wishes to you.
