Depression is different for everyone. I have suffered from it on and off since I was 14. I can tell you that is not just one thing that makes it manageable. You should consult a therapist and maybe even a psychiatrist because sometimes it can be a hormonal imbalance. Having people around you that can truly be a support for you is also important. It doesn't have to be a lot, it doesnt have to be just family or just friends, but 1 or 2 people that can help you get out of the dark times. Is also important to identify what is the cause of the depression and ways to move pass it. I truly hope this helps you and that you get better.

Depression sucks but I’m too unmotivated and used to it to want to change. I’ve almost stopped caring but everyone else wants me to get better :(

Had the same with addiction some time ago..kinda liked the non social, not caring zone... found a half / half solution that works. (yes interacting.working etc-no regular bases, appointments/dates etc + me-time in my bubble. but i don't think that will work with a depression....

It won't get better unless you work at it. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is the safest and most effective way to learn about yourself and whether or not you really have a medical condition. You need to see a counselor that will teach you the behavioral skills needed to live a healthy balanced life.
Don't fall for the quick and easy medication route. Work with people that teach and support your mental health maturity by giving you the tools you need to understand your reactions, feelings, and how to better approach future situations.
What's most important is really learning about yourself and what triggers your depression or anxiety and what relieves you from that negative mind space and feelings.
I've found that writing about my day at the end of the day is the best tool to monitor what, who and when I'm triggered. Having the tangible evidence gives me security and reliability. Once I recognize a pattern I'm able to make the subtle changes or have the awkward conversations needed to address the issue. I have been misdiagnosed with ADHD, Bipolar and Border Line Personality Disorder. After seeing so many therapists and psychiatrists I've found the drugs made me 'gray' or almost lifeless. Sure my mood swings went away but I felt nothing and wasn't any more or less focused. I was still miserable. So I began putting in the work towards building a routine and truly learning about my reactions and why they can be so extreme. Everyday is a battle but they no longer feel uncontrollable.
I hope this helps someone.

I'm only writing this in the comments bc I can't post it up there anymore, but idk if I have depression but I've been told I do. I feel super unmotivated and sad and I don't want to get out of bed, I stay in bed right when I get home, and have a horrible sleep schedule, and I don't do anything I used to love anymore bc I just don't feel like it, and I never used to understand when people would say they feel empty, but man, I do now.
