what actually helps depression?

im sixteen and ive honestly tried everything and nothing seems to do anything to help it, the whole of last year i was severely depressed and i begged and begged for professional help but i cant afford it and doctors tell me im not sick enough yet.
i just want it to be out of my system now, its been almost seven years. im so beyond tired of it. i just want a week where its not there and i can breathe. i think i have a decent life besides being poor and in a fucked up house hold. im confident and i have a friend, one friend. i cant seem to find any other friends yet but collage is soon so thats helpful.
it just never seems to leave, i cant have a week where it isnt there. anytime i feel good and am happy something happens to ruin it. i was having the absolute best month of my life. i was so unbelievably happy constantly. i was so excited to be awake and then i get hit with my mother being a drug addict and hiding it from me for the last five years.

the wording alone shifts how people read this and that’s where people will push back That’s what changes the context. Others will probably see it differently.

Honestly, this feels more about execution than intent Time will tell.

To be fair, the way this is presented changes how it lands which is why the comments look the way they do We’ll see how people react over time. At least from my perspective.
