One other approach that may be useful is "fake it till you make it." Even when you feel like lying in bed under the covers all day, get out and be social. If you are feeling anxious/insecure, act confident. Many studies have shown that emulating the attributes/moods you wish to have will produce the positive effects you would like to achieve. My personal experience with this approach is mixed, but it does work sometimes and definitely works for some people.

Exercise, if you dont already. Enjoy the positive endorphins and adrenaline dumps.

ALOT of the new commers don't ever get a chance to see this. Which is a shame. They just whine and expect to get empathy then they quit. Just stay a while and really get to know people and this comes out..
Honestly, screw that one day at a time bullshit and just get thru a few hours at a time. By disengaging yourself in something you used to love to do before the relationship. Find yourself again. Treat yourself like your own best friend. When you have made it for a few hours, reward yourself.
This is advice I got from my psych about dealing with a tumor, but I think it applies here too.
And don't discount an antidepressant . Sometimes they do help.
Sending positive vibes your way!
WIZZOO !

Turn the negative into positive (e.g. Your Girlfriend dump you but atleast you're now single and ready to mingle lol, you got a flat tire and will be late at work, think like you are spared of an accident ahead u never know, you are dying and only few months to live but atleast you felt loved by the people around you especially your loveones who are there for you till the end.)

Depression is a shitty thing to live with. You carry it around with you all the time and it eats at you. Unfortunately there's no one right answer to dealing with it. Everyone copes in their own way. The advice given so far is spot on though.
Try and find something that makes you happy or makes you feel good still. Hold onto all those things that still make you happy. It'll help. You just gotta get through it that's all. Talking to someone might help. Engage your friends and family. Tell them how you're feeling about this girl. A lot of times people can give you a different perspective on things they'll help turn around how you feel. And remember dude, it's just a girl. Another will come along. I know it doesn't seem like it at first. You think there'll never be another like her.
But remember this- no matter how hot she is, or how amazing she seems, there's a guy out there somewhere that's sick of her shit or has been in the past 😜
Keep your chin up dude hope you feel better about things. -
Matgie. While I agree it's not a fix for everyone, coming from someone who has been down the path of medication, I personally want the feeling of being happy on my own, not reliant on medication, I've tried while it works, as soon a your off it you sink back to where you were. Your emotions reflect your environment is what I mean by being positive, if you keep thinking "this is never going to work or im a failure etc) the. Those are the things you make present I'm not saying one day of having a good outlook on things will change your life but its a lot less stressful. But do talk to someone if you feel you need to, I personally didn't feel like it was helping paying someone to listen to my problems when they probably really don't want to be there. Talk to a friend or close family.

Depression might as well be a result in lack of serotonin or nor-adrenaline production. There are medicine that corrects the problem but you have to contact a hospital or such for that.

Smile, you smile when you're happy but it works the other direction also. A smile, even a fake smile, makes you feel happy. Try it.

Ring up a support group. They are anonymous and are trained. Be careful with forum advice, a small typo can change meaning completely.
