I have personally experienced it and I will tell you how I coped. I just made a Thanksgiving Diary. At first the idea seemed silly, but I read that it helped a lot and decided to at least give it a try. From personal experience it really has an effect, and it has been proven by research that it reduces depression and stress, as well as has healing properties. It's just that the night before bed you write your date at the top of the page and try to think of little things that happened to you during the day that you're at least a little grateful for. For example, at work someone helped you with something, after work you have a place to go to sleep, you have food, you woke up in the morning alive and well (because some in the world have failed), you have cleaned your home and your ego is clear and cozy, on the street you saw an extremely radiant man who, at least for a moment, improved your mood, that no incident and any such had occurred. The point is to invent at least 3 new things every day. It's good that they are new, so that you don't get used to thanking mechanically, but to think. Separately, you can thank your (not personally, but in the diary) that they raised you, that you are alive and well, that you have a partner, children, for example, that you had the opportunity to get an education, that there is something to wear, something to eat , where to sleep, that you can walk freely on the streets (no matter how much they seem to you, not everyone has them). You do this for 7 days, then you start only once a week. Gratitude is a habit - once you give thanks for something, the second time it will be a little easier and you are grateful, the third time even easier and so you create a habit. At some point you will be grateful even for no reason, it will just become your condition. Even in difficult times you will be grateful, instead of getting depressed. Depression is also a habit. One time you get depressed, the second time it's easier, the third time it's even easier, and so you make a habit of getting depressed until it's normal, even for no reason. In life it is never 100% good or 100% bad, there are always both, but we choose what to focus on. I'm not saying to pretend that the bad isn't there, we're just reacting to it right - instead of letting him create bad habits, we intentionally create good ones. There is a man born without legs and arms, Nick Vujicic. He is an exceptionally happy man nonetheless. And yet he learned to swim and play football and give lectures all over the world. "People often ask me how I manage to be happy, even though I'm without arms and legs. I answer them quickly that I have a choice. I can be angry because I don't have limbs, or I can be thankful that I have a will and a purpose. I chose gratitude. "- Nick Vujicic

There is a cure and it is very simple. Okay, maybe not quite simple, but ... When some of these thoughts come to you, you just have to close your eyes and take a deep breath. You should not concentrate on thoughts, because this will draw your mind into long, exhausting and in this case not very healthy thoughts. When you ignore them, they will fade away on their own. To make it easier, you can even imagine that every sip of air is charged with positive energy, and when you exhale, you throw away everything negative. It sounds a little crazy, but it actually helps a lot of people. Try to think of good things. "It's just that life has no meaning and sooner or later we will all die." Break them, those thoughts! Life has meaning. What exactly? Hmm ... Who knows? In my opinion, the meaning of life is to improve and be happy. Yes, in the end everyone dies, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is how they will live. You need to look at things more positively. As for the other options ... I don't see how medical "help" can help you, except by prescribing you some stupid drug with a fancy name. You can go to a psychologist, but if a person does not help himself or does not want to do it, then they can not magically fix things.
