Just don't do what Prince Albert did about depression. His philosophy was to hit bottom as fast as you can so you can get rid of the depression
One day he was feeling depressed, so he called this girl/woman he had one date with 9 months before. He'd asked her if she'd like to go out again and she said yes. Well, he didn't call until that day, expecting to be cursed out, the phone slammed in his ear, etc. Well, when he asked her out she said okay. So, his philosophy backfired.
We were married less than 2 years later.
