Setting reasonable goals, expressing your feelings in a journal, and eating a healthy diet are a few ways to make living with major depression easier. Learning effective stress management can also help make depression more bearable. Support groups are available for people with major depression, which can be a good way to talk to people who can relate to your situation. It is also advised that patients suffering from major depression talk to their doctors about effective coping techniques.1
