Yes, this world is not Heaven; but it is not Hell, either. Yes, humans are not angels, but they are not demons, either. Actually, not everything is necessarily either white or black. Remember, there are shades of gray, too. I do not mean that everything is beautiful. Of course, there will be ugly and sad things as well since this world is not Heaven. Nevertheless, we should look on the bright sides so that we can keep our spirit high and find more beauties. And we, as human beings and not angels, are supposed to make mistakes and commit faults for sure. However, even the most sinful people have certainly got lots of virtues and talents. We should try to see them, too (both in ourselves and in others). Make some effort; I recommend a kind of fight with your mind and soul. You should think not how it comes up in your mind, but how it is supposed to be. You should take control of negative thoughts that come up in your mind automatically. You should question yourself to determine whether proofs support your depression or you reach wrong conclusions by sticking to a small part of the whole and making generalizations out of it. If you like (as you are a religious person), you can put it into practice like this: How would our Prophet (pbuh) think if he were in this situation? Would he demoralize himself with negative thoughts or would he be grateful by looking on the bright sides of things? I would say in conclusion: In order to avoid depression, we should arrange not only our behaviours but also our thoughts in accordance with the sunnah. Then we can see the beauties in life and lead a joyful life.
