Depression is something that everyone faces to some degree in their life, and likely multiple times through their life.
It sounds like there was something or multiple things that happened to you three or more years ago triggered this in the first place. From my personal experience, "chewing" on the things of the past for too long, whether they were traumatic incidents, past relationships, or people/ things no longer in your life, can and will cause you to visit a dark place. The more you go to that place, the deeper you go, and the longer you spend there makes getting back out harder and harder each time.
Depending on the severity of what you are dealing with or caused the depression, you have multiples of options. I always recommend you either pick up an old hobby or start a new one. Go out and discover new things and new people that bring a measure of joy to your life.
I also recommend that you look at whatever is bothering you from a detached point of view… if you were someone else looking at this objectively, what do you see? Is it something that you think someone should tear themselves apart because it happened? Is it something that can be forgotten or healed over?
Not to be the guy that says the answer I'm sure you've heard a million times, but sometimes, it's best to find a counselor and just get it all out. Let them do the analyzing for you and help you find and open doors you didn't know were available to you.
Three years is a significant portion of your life so far… Don't let it take up anymore of your life. Because life really can be incredibly beautiful and it's not worth missing out on. You can and will defeat depression, you just have to choose to do so and get help if needed. No one deserves to suffer in silence or feel like there is no way out.
"Be the change you want to see in the world"
The power of the mind is incredible, and you can achieve what you set your mind to. However, I have a friend who has suffered from depression in the past, and my wife has also, and I know it is easy for people on the outside to tell you what you should and shouldn't do. In the end, the only one who can change it is you, it will be hard, there will be times you think you can't do it, and you will want to give up. However, if you believe strongly enough that you can do it and you want it enough, I believe you can succeed and reach the happier place you wish to be.
Depression is hard to deal with. It's different for everyone. Personally, when it gets bad for me I try to write down everything in my head. Then I read over it and try to access each issue. I also started a happy jar. I write down things that make me happy on little pieces of paper and put them in a jar. Then when I'm feeling down I go in and read something from that jar.
It's difficult, but you just have to try to find ways to deal.
I've had depression for almost 6 years I still haven't figured it out...
I've had depression and it not fun. At all. But music helped me a lot.

you need to learn to let go and also care less about what others think.
i also strongly encourage you to start runnning every other day to feel better and energetic. aside from a healthy lifestyle, do what you like and make goals that lead to your bigger purpose/long term goal and stay active.

this will also keep your chances higher when someone special comes along because you'll know how to love a person, and more likely to gain acceptance through increased social value (from achieving goals) and have a lot to offer in case.
Just one thing to be kept in mind... Say it to that disturbing past and dipressing thought... shut the fuck up... And boom your life is changed... There is nobody other then your dipressive thoughts which follow you... And one more thing you are too young to be dipressed girl...;-)
Stay out and socialize. Also try things like going jogging with music and stuff. Being physically active helps a lot with things like depression and can build confidence and help your appetite if it is suffering.
You just need to be strong girl
