My mileage, with emphasis on the 'Handling'.

The practices that I am outlining have allowed me to function at an acceptable level however, they are not a cure for depression.

Meditation with a focus on getting in touch/accepting whatever is happening at the moment.

Working out, running/jogging in particular.

Resigning to the fact that living a mediocre life is not that bad.

Reaching out and finding kindred souls, friends etc. Family, especially kids and wife keep me moving even if they are not aware of my depression.

Resigning from the self-appointed position of CEO of the world.

If you are working out and have friends, you're probably not living a mediocre life, comparatively speaking. Hang in, friend.

Good CEO point. There's not much good in trying to be a hero
