But believe this that these situations do accur unknowingly and they are temporary but they need efforts and can be alleviated.

If you have been experiencing symptoms of depression for quite some time I can understand how difficult it is to seek help. Seeking help is the first step to recovery. I would suggest find a good Psychologist that you can connect with. Diagnosis and treatment plan can be decided after your first session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy works wonders for depression and it is evidence based and backed by research.
Next Steps
Book a session with a psychologist. Get diagnosed and assessed for whether you require medication or CBT is enough.
Health Tips
I know It can seem hopeless and helpless but fighting depression is possible.
