Find Someone to Confide in
All the relationships you have there are one or two people who will understand your struggles. Try to find someone to confide in that might understand what you're going through. This can help you overcome the feeling of isolation, which depression is known to entrap you in.
Remember Their Feelings
Depression is one of the most selfish, helpless diseases. It robs you of the ability to think about others' feelings because it engulfs you in feelings of sadness and self pity. One of the best ways to maintain relationships with others during depression, is to try to remember their feelings. How will your best friend feel when she loses you to depression? How will your parents feel?
Try New Things
Sometimes, an environment or association with something negative in our life can often bring up bad memories, even if it's with people we love. Try new things, and start finding new ways to enjoy those around you. This one thing can help you heal almost better than anything else. Give it a little time, and keep trying, it does work!
