Depression needs time. You have to abide by what the professionals tell you and do your normal day things. No interviews to put pressure on you. It is not like malaria where you take a course of chroloquine and next week you are ok. You can get will but it is slow and steady Brother.
You deliberately f00-1 finish, den1grate well-meaning people and then the crafty +wa=+ that you are, use depress1on as the justification. Seek help and ensure you follow the help they offer. You aren't funny anymore massa. Get a grip.
