Another nice thing hat I've started to do is collect things that make me happy. When I get down I look in the box.
Like others have said, try a new therapist.
- Are you getting enough sunlight? - Are you exercising? - Do you live in an extremely stressful environment / city? - Do you live near greenery and vegetation or a cold concrete jungle? - When was the last time you took a vacation? - If you're an introvert do you have enough time alone to yourself? If you're an extrovert do you spend enough time with others or are you isolated?
You'd be amazed at how external solutions can help motivate internal ones.
One thing I am learning about is regulating my sleep pattern and eating consistent meals. This is tough with a startup, but it really helps. Another nice thing hat I've started to do is collect things that make me happy. When I get down I look in the box. Like others have said, try a new therapist.
I only feel good when my blood pressure is extremly high compared to a normal person. How is your blood pressure when you're happy compared to when you're sad?? I'm really curious if it has an effect on the mood. Because it definately has a dramatic effect on my mood. (It's around >170sys/120dia and higher for me when feeling good) Reference: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0167876012...
I didn't read beyond a few of the responses.
Whether this is a legitimate cry for help or just someone who needs an emotional pick me up to get through how hard startup life can be don't hesitate to contact me

I am in a bad depression myself even though I am making good money from my startup but due to other personal reasons. I am planning to go to Bali for a month.
Travel. Leave your smartphone and laptop at home. Take your friend with you and go. There is a lot of good places on Earth and this is important to choose the right one to visit, so choose wisely. Don't go to safari or similar shitty entrtnmnt for rich guys. Don't buy a tour with all the trash included. Move on your own. Stay in the plain hotels. Taste the local food. Visit the monasteries and museums. Talk to people…
Suddenly quitting any/all meds for a physical condition without a doctor's advice is probably not the best idea.
Have ever triedgoing to gym (or working in phisical work (helping a friend)), and consuming paleotic foods (no pizzas). Also, have a girlfriend. Additionally have some friends or relatives to go out or ask them to come to your home.
Re: girlfriend - I'm not sure this is wise advise. By all means, find a loving relationship, but don't do it just because you are depressed. That will most likely end in disaster - for both of you!
