Just read a good article bout how a person overcomes her depression:

1. Made big changes in your life - change careers, friends, house, etc
2. Set a list of things to look forward everyday
3. Find something to do - something to distract yourself
4. Talk to people - not necessary a friend/known person
5. Pamper yourself - eat at restaurants, manicures, pedicures, etc
6. Stop talking about how you feel - keep to yourself and most trusted friends
7. Play sports - particularly running/jogging if you need to clear your mind
8. Develop routines and long-term commitments - visit old folks home, do charity
9. Start babysitting - expose yourself to different people of all ages (they make you realise new things and appreciate life more)
10. Appreciate what you have and what you're capable of - take a vacation to clear your mind
    

Basically, to overcome depression it is easy as long as one is determined and passionate to make better of themselves.

P/S: I've tried some of these 10 tips and it really helps

Up to a certain point of your life, harrowing onto your pasts and what you don't have just exhausts you more and blinds you from reality and what you have

So, why don't you just enjoy yourself and do as you want?

It's worth a try, afterall, what's there to lose? :)
