Well, I have an old childhood trauma. It didn't really a danger or annoying myself as time goes by, only when stress came that the trauma kicked back. I would cry or laugh dryly or couldn't sleep until 3 AM without knowing the reason why I do that. I was emotionless, poker faced due to the way I tried to push my trauma as to not effect my recent life. I finally remembered how to smile or laugh naturally after I found my best friends (who by any means, didn't take benefits of me not like those so-called friends around me). I keep telling myself that it is okay if I couldn't forgive the past and it is okay to rely on others (I was educated tobe the matured and independent which make me be rational and realistic for not too carried away by fake fantasy such as prince charming or magic), but well, sometimes the others just could not give me a 'calm' mode untul I need to go to my consultant teacher to stop my after-effect trauma. I keep asking to go see a psycholog to 'fix' my mental condition, but my parents didn't give a go though. So, em I don't really close to them as I was trying tobe more realistic that they want me tobe matured (although my teacher said that I was too mature for my age), when I acted like a child they fuss, when I acted like a matured one they go silent. When I was not allowed to be childish, but my sibling could. It was unfair, but well, it was not that worthy for begging for love anyway

http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/cocoon_of_the_heart/ it does a pretty good job of showing a character who has to major depression disorder.
major depression can't really be faced, dealt with, or overcome. It's a serious illness that has to be treated by a psychiatrist who prescribes meds, and a therapist who talks with you. You can try other methods beforehand, but why waste your time?
-All people everywhere will give terrible advice like "you need to get out and exercise," which is, itself, a depressing notion, plus depression takes your energy away. sometimes you need to rest.
-People are not very sympathetic. They think they've been depressed, know what you're going through, and what you can do to fix it. If you don't follow their advice and get better, they consider you weak and treat you with disrespect. You have to learn not to listen to them.
-Some depressed people seek out anti-anxiety drugs like xanax. Xanax or Alprazolam can seriously worsen depression. I didn't believe that at first.
-Antidepressant meds help a lot, and are necessary, but you can still become depressed on them.
-If you have major depression disorder, you'll be dealing with it all your life, so don't seek happiness, seek meaning in your life.
