Hard to provide good advice without knowing why you're depressed. Given that, there are a few things that are probably going to be helpful: * Stop caring what other people think. This is at the root of so much suffering it's ridiculous. Other people will try to guilt you into caring if they know you think this way, they're just being selfish, ignore it. * Find the positive aspects of things that initially appear negative. Challenges are opportunities for growth. * Forget your big goals. Learn to set small goals you can achieve today, and trust that your daily success will lead to long term success. * Find something to be passionate about, and chase it. If your life is just an endless procession of unpleasant chores, of course you're going to be depressed.
