I suffer from depression too, over 30 years I've come to accept depression as a gift and that's the way I am. To feel better, I eat organic whole foods, no sugar, aholchol, or processed foods, lots of green food seems to be a mood booster for me. I do a lot of green smoothies, look up, "Raw for Life," I'm not vegan or even vegetarian, I need meat and animal products too, it's all about good fat and red meat heme, your cells walls and electrical system, the brain are all made of fat. The site has lots of good smoothie recipes. I walk 2-5 miles a day, better than any antidepressant I've been on to even out mood swings. Commit to socializing through volunteer work, it gets you out of your head and socializing, I'm a creative and an introvert, who also worked dead end jobs. My hobbies have been my best friends too. One more thing, which may help, believe in something greater than thought generated self. Clinging to I am this or that creates huge amounts of suffering. I also don't watch or read shitty violent sexually driven media, no porn, it really screws with my mental health. Violent sexual content causes trauma and desensitization, that's a fact. Porn causes the same problem, hug an old person, a child, a dear friend, kitties and dogs work too! Good luck and get up!
