I have been in and out of therapy in the last couple years. It really helped me when I had severe anger that was affecting my relationships around me.

People process depression and anxiety differently. I strongly recommend a positive hobby. Even better if it's physical (sports, gym, skateboarding, yoga).

Any combination of listening to music, driving to the country, lifting weights, talking my best friend.

Therapy and meds have helped me in the past as well.

I don't get depressed. ('-' )

Personally find that shit is a complete waste of time. Whatever it is that's bothering me, I get the fuck over those hurdles and continue to march on.

Anxiety is different story since I'm huge neat-freak with OCD. If I don't have to shake hands with strangers, then I won't. Personal space is a must for me too.

Depending on how depressed i get it can vary. If its not that bad ill just kind of keep to myself until the depression goes away. I tend to lash out to people close to me in this stage.
If its real bad (like it has been all month) i have a lot of trouble getting out of bed. I no longer enjoy my favorite activities and i just spiral into anxiety and self doubt and sabatoge.
I started seeing a therapist just before this latest bout and i hope it will help going forward.
