What helps you with your depressive episodes?

Question

I mean healthy things. I personally do everything that is unhealthy for a depressed person to do. E. g. Use drugs, drink, smoke, isolate, beat up on myself, eat my feelings (in some cases), withdraw from everybody, listen to depressing songs, etc

I rarely get depressed because I'm so busy all the time. For me there just aren't enough hours in the day.
If I do feel a little bit low, I take myself out for a long walk along the sea front where I live. The only thing missing is our dog Meg. The sound of the waves on the shore, sea gulls make up for that somewhat.

I've battled depression for 10+ years starting around 16 years old.

Just recently, it sort of just went away.

There's definitely a difference in your state of mine.

But when I was "sick", I hit the gym a lot, seemed to help; good luck.

I try to find a new interest or community to get into. The excitement of something new and fun kind of helps me get to the point where I want to catch up on chores and go outside again. I know it's hard, but I know you can do it ((H))

My medication helps me a lot. I just escape from the world online and write on wattpad. I ignore any problems and focus on something I like doing or I'll just watch tv and cuddle with my mum.

I talk to a close and trustworthy friend, go out, and/or do something I'd normally enjoy. But if it's bad or genetic (like you mentioned), maybe consider seeking professional help.
