I too have felt depressed for the most of my adult life and what I found helpful was:
Positivity
Discipline
Building (whatever personal project such as learning Spanish, building my body, an art portfolio, work-related but personal projects... )
What gets in the way is:
Physical health issues: partly genetic, causing me fatigue.
Isolation: I can't exaggerate this issue. Self perpetuating too.
There is also the problem that I've not completely figured out what I want to get from life and how exactly I'm gonna get it (see papayatapper's quote in my signature) and so there's still entropy (chaos/uncertainty) in my life that I need to figure out. I've made quite some progress though. For example I've decided that I don't want to stay in the academia however I've not yet decided if I want to stay in the West or not.

A better question to ask is "What EXACTLY do I want out of life and what EXACTLY am I doing to get EXACTLY that? If you can answer that question truthfully you will be the most Alpha motherfucker you will ever need to be. (PapayaTapper)
