Identify unhelpful thought patterns, practise reframing to more balanced / helpful thoughts. Practise self-compassion, i.e. be kind to yourself. Stay with the present moment, refrain from dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. Well, seems easier said than done. So this is more for prevention or milder forms of depression, but if you are already going through moderate to severe depression it's hard to find the motivation to do this on your own. Get help.
