How to cope up with depression

Premise-

Life lately has been rough. To external eye it may seem I am doing all well, went to good cllg, good job, early good switch in tier 1 consulting, got fit etc But only do I know how much of a battle every day of life is, feel like a zombie just dragging through, maybe being too ambitious is a curse after all!

Sometimes i just feel like quitting & move back to ghar, find remote job or explore passion projects but then I see job market & all other thoughts creep in - coming age of marriage (in 1/2 yrs), middle class background, ‘log kya kahenge’ thoughts, the want to give back to parents and the list goes on

I am pretty sure there are 000s like me or maybe not 🤷‍♂️ but those who are experiencing similar things how do you manage this mess?

Let's not call 'feeling less motivated' equivalent to 'depressed'. Your post couldn't be anymore farther from what depression really is.
