You are not depressed, stop saying that! Oh Snap. I got people mad already ready to go off in me in the comments. How dare you question my depression!
Hold on... Hold on..
Don't be so quick to protect that which causes you suffering. Let's speak honestly. You may be experiencing a depression right now, but you are NOT depressed, and I'm going to show you why. And this shift, if remembered, will changed your life forever.
You're Ready?
You are the SKY. Depression, frustration, sadness? These are passing clouds, they come, they go. Some are black, some are white, sometimes they pepper the sky. And sometimes they fill the sky, but they always come and go, because they, even though they seem like it, are NOT the sky. If they were, then when they went, the sky would go too, and the sky is always there.
So likewise, if frustration, depression and sadness were "YOU", then when they went, "YOU" would go. But that's not what happens is it? NO. You are always here. You are that which these things appear in front of.
You are the witness, the perceiver of depression. And that which perceives depression, IS NOT DEPRESSED.
Imagine this Remote Control is Depression

So you've got "YOU" holding the remote, and then you've got "DEPRESSION". Depression comes, it goes..., it comes..., it stays for a while, it goes. BUT "you" are always here.
Big problems come when you start to identify as depression. NEVER identify with that which comes and goes.
Now pause reading right now and take some time with this, this is life changing.
There's an old saying:
Before enlightenment, I was depressed. After enlightenment, still depressed.
But it's totally different now. I no longer identify with the depression. I realized that it wasn't me. I observed it, allow it to come and go without resisting it.
