Better consult professionals. Don't self medicate and have support system like have someone to talk to. Go out for a walk.

1. Accept that there are things we can't control, and that some things are meant to happen the way they did..

2. @anatoly gave a very detailed response to the things we can control..

Stay with your regular routine.  

 

Ask for help.

The simplest, but not necessarily easiest, move is to improve your overall health. Research has shown that losing weight and regular exercise helps manage depressive symptoms.

Meditation. Depression can feel like being lost, meditation can anchor and center your thoughts and emotions.

De-stressing. Often, depression arises out of regularly experienced stress. Taking your mind off the stressful activity can help pull you back from depression.

Talk therapy. Talk to someone that is a good listener that responds calmly and patiently. Take them out to lunch or a light activity in exchange. In talking, you might find the perspective you need to manage your depressive symptoms. In therapy, patients often find the answers themselves while the psychiatrist asks questions or responds in a way that lets the patient explore their feelings.

Professional help. Sometimes it takes special knowledge to help us out with depression. Sometimes it takes a medical prescription.

Great advise guys. I'll try some of them. 

As for me, I like to cook and do household chores, its therapeutic for me. I'm working overseas living solo in a flat, don't socialize much in person as my stress and depression come from people. 

When depression strikes, I stay calm and toughen it out.

excercise and healthy diet

Take this seriously. Speak to a Psychiatrist and figure out if you can naturally treat it or if you need medication before you can process it properly.
