I have been experiencing depression for a long time, characterized by loss of appetite, very low energy, sadness, lack of joy in activities I love, and mood changes (feeling high one moment and then more depressed than ever). This cycle can last for 1, 2, or 3 days, during which I feel extremely suicidal, and then I return to a somewhat normal state afterward. I want to go to the gym, build myself up, make money, and engage in self-improvement activities, but then the cycle continues, and I go back to feeling depressed. Sometimes this cycle can even happen within a single day. What can I do to break this cycle?
