Suggestions for OP:

Be patient.
Accept that genuine improvement takes a long time.
Don't give up.
Recognize that slipping up does not mean failure, and setbacks are part of the journey.
Ask for and accept help! Professional help, but also help from family and friends.

I think these things are super important, because we don't have a good way to predict what will help each individual, or a good system to match people with medical & psych support. It is hard to find medication that works for you, it often involves difficult side effects, and it often takes several tries. It is hard to find a good personal fit with a therapist or other professional support, and I have encountered some real flakes. It is incredibly lovely to push through feelings of depression and continue to try to find resources.

That said, it is absolutely worthwhile!
The right support professional can help you learn new strategies to improve your well-being.
The right medication can help you get through the bad spots, and give you some breathing space to learn new skills.
And of course, as others have said, forcing yourself to get out & be active, sleep well, and eat well, will all help!

Good luck, I hope you find the help you need to get back on track!
