simple trick to reduce the effects of depression

[SageModeAustin]

When you are feeling depressed

Tell yourself, I'm so happy right now.  When you say this your mind will start to think of reasons of why you said this. 
(This works because when you act regardless of your emotions, you will feel happy because of it)  

Learn to categorize actuality vs imagination. 
(This works because 100% of your depression is imagination) 
 

Its been helping me a lot, let me know what you guys think.

when your sleep deprived, it's equivalent to being buzzed on beer

Although, that's not ideal.
