How do you tackle depression and low points? Or even mental breakdowns?

Find a task that needs done, and do it. You may feel like a piece of shit, but at least you got that done. Then find another task, because if you can do one, you can do another. Once that's done, move on to finishing something you've put off; better if it's creative. Abstract thought will take you out of your feels and redirect your emotion.

Pull yourself back into the rut of things, because the world keeps turning and the day is getting wasted. It's not easy and it's not fun, but your ancestors stabbed a bear the size of a van to death with sticks so they could eat and fornicate, and that's what has happened every day for thousands of years, people you'll never know living and fighting and dying to progress your genetic material to the point you're at now, living in the best time for humans that's ever existed; you enjoy a ease of life beyond their comprehension, you owe it to them and their sacrifice to make the very best of what you've been given.

Find the root cause, everyone has a slightly different one. Taking care of your physical and nutritional health is a good start.

The boring answer is that small gradual lifestyle changes make all the difference.

Oh and avoid the pills.

I will do that. I will do an extremely deep self analysis through writing and other things and will try to find it out.
Thanks!

I drink or otherwise try to occupy myself. But sometimes, you can't stop it. But the more you drink away your problems, the harder they hit you when you stop. It hurts, a lot. Sometimes one might deem it worth the effort

Being stubborn helped me.

I am watching an anima called Hellsing. Dracula says this clearly, "Those who refuse to give up are entitled to trample upon humanity".

Trust me, that one sentence spoke volumes.

You already know what that means. Being stubborn. I will also do that. I will follow your advice.

It's a simple line "be stubborn" not really helpful, I thought, but the words reached you so that's great to hear :)
No matter how bad life gets, what people tell you, what maybe you tell to yourself. You say "screw that" and keep fighting. Prove them all wrong, prove to yourself you can be better than you are now. Even if you might not see an instant change, it surely didn't for me, keep going, keep being stubborn.

Turn that sadness into anger and then that anger into determination not to be a victim. You didn't come this far just to be life's bitch.
