I may have ask this before but im not too sure.

So it leems i wont be able to get into theripy anytime soon for some dumb reasons and also some family members problems have to be taken care of first like surgerys and whatnot.

I have depression pretty badly which kinda runs in the modern age like a plague and im not sure what to do with it, im not even sure what to do now or in the future. i feel very lost and stuck while being in some sort of werid loop. it dosent help how i have autism which also stinks. it feels like i always want things instanly or my interest changes every day, which is prety annoying and im limited in many ways.

what can i do to help with depression and life?....

I'm on a break from therapy for a while and I find meditation and journaling to be very helpful.

Write the sad thoughts to get them out of your head. Turn the page and write about a happy memory that is special to you. Write about the people in your life who are close to you and what you like about them.

I listen to podcasts that focus on good mental health and that also have a guided meditation at the end.
