Depression is mainly the natural result of "cognitive distortions." Overcoming with the result, would be something like fighting with a shadow. Instead one should better focus on the cause: "cognitive distortions." Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is the most widely researched psychotherapy for depression. It is equivalent to antidepressant medications in its short-term efficacy and evidences superior outcomes in the long-term. In brief, depression is often underdiagnosed and undertreated but not "undefeatable" at all.

Yes, it’s possible but it needs very much time and determination, moreover it’s necessary to talk with a specialist, better a psychotherapist. So keep going to staying strong even if some days can seem hard, look at your soul.

The thing that keeps me from falling into a spiral of depression is depression itself. Or at least, - to be more precise - that the thing that prevents me from falling into the cycle of depression in its general sense is depression in its specific sense..
General depression is that slow descent into a bottomless well where one of us loses any lighthouse that can light his path.
As for private depression, it is the severe and acute feeling of loss.
Losing, yes, is what keeps me from falling into the dark. In a way, it illuminates me from within, when the civilized veil that envelops my soul is torn away. That openness makes it completely real, free from parasites, fresh and radiant.
Loss somehow makes me regain myself from within a fallen human civilization, so it falls without me falling.
To lose is to refrain from running, competing, and grinding inside this ugly and huge machine, a machine that prefers peel over pulp, falsehood over truth, and name over meaning.
Yes, what keeps me from falling into a spiral of depression is depression itself.
