Sunshine (yes, literal sun exposure is healthy and required for your health), exercise, mental stimulation, emotional stimulation and having a life goal. Even any one or two of the above factors will make you much less depressed. In the winter, you won't be able to get enough sunshine for your body to produce sufficient vitamin D and you should supplement.

The whole idea that depression is a "chemical imbalance" in your brain is somewhat true, but the evidence shows that SSRI's aren't the antidote. Conscious behavior, including your thought patterns, has as much influence on your brain chemistry as the other way around. And I'm not talking about cheesy "daily affirmations" bullshit. If you are having fun and enjoying yourself, your brain will produce dopamine and other chemicals that are good for your mental state and health. If you are stressed or feeling depressed, your brain will produce cortisol, reducing your immune system function, increasing your fat, weakening your muscles, increasing your blood pressure (making you sick, weak and fat; further depressing you).

What you want to do is to train your brain to produce more good chemicals and fewer bad chemicals by altering your mental state. The EASIEST way to do this, as many have said, is to get a dog. Think of the number of hours in the day. If your current habits depress you, and you try out some hobby that you like, let's say you learn to play guitar, you will likely only do that for an hour or so a day. Then you have the rest of the day to fall back into your depressing habits. When you have a dog, you literally can't get away from it. The dog exists to cheer you up, and will not stop trying until it falls asleep from exhaustion at the end of the day. Seriously, get a dog. Science proves it's the best way to end depression.

Unironic answer? No food can help you beat depression, but chocolate can mitigate the symptoms a bit. It contains chemicals that you normally only get exposed to when you're happy and falling in love.

This isn't an excuse to eat thirty candy bars a day. Aside from obviously making you fat, you'd eventually build a tolerance and it would lose its slim benefit. If you're going to "medicate" with chocolate, it should be the highest percentage you can handle eating (for me that's 85-90), the highest quality you can find, and small portions (like individually wrapped bites). Only use it when you're especially low, to get the most out of it.

That's as far as any one food can carry you. In general, eat as clean and fresh as you can, get exercise, force yourself to spend time with any friends you have especially when the depression tells you not to, and get a therapist.

Good luck.

Did you know it's pretty easy to get one to land on your hand? Just stick it out near one and don't move. It'll think you're a branch, and because you don't sway, you'll be the preferred landing point. They also can't walk, so you don't have to worry about it starting to crawl where you don't want. Unfortunately the larger they are, the more skittish.

Avoid carbs in the morning, eat a high fat high protein breakfast

Don't eat sugar, if you have to eat it sparingly. Avoid refined sugars and crap that is in most candy bars. Fruit is the best way to kick the craving, but you should be careful to not overindulge, most fruit is loaded with sugars and they are way more than one serving. Fruit and sugars release dopamine, hence they become addictive and can fuck up your regulators.

Your diet should be high protein, low carb, high fat (not keto, you need more carbs than that).

Eat a lot of nuts/seeds

Dont eat carbs until lunch with a light carb dinner

Eat natural yogurt with pro-biotics, preferably high fat and low carb/sugar

At least 3x a week, eat a mostly green meal consisting of a salad or a healthy bowl with kale. Protein shakes to occasionally replace a meal help here

Lifestyle:

Exercise regularly. Moderate strength training 2-3x a week. Intense cardio 1x or more a week. Try to do light cardio (walking, biking) at least 3x a week for about 30 min to an hour

Stop smoking/vaping, it affects your ability to absorb dopamine and their receptors

Stop drinking alcohol completely. Alcohol kills the natural flora in your gut and can fuck up your body/brain, even in moderate amounts. You will notice a difference after about 2 weeks.

Find a hobby you like, video games count. Get a job where you can socialize. Only check your phone 3x a day (Napolean wouldn't check mail for 2 weeks, figured out that most problems work themselves out).

Reward yourself occasionally by going out, doing something fun. Go to a sports game. Go to a movie. Go to a show. Go on a date or hang with your buddies.

Coffee is fine, but sleep is important. No caffeine after 11 AM. Go for 6+ hours of sleep a day. Get a routine going where you wake up at a certain time every day. A regular job helps with this aspect. A job helps you build purpose.

This is pretty good but you forgot one vital ingredient to your health smoothie - STOP MASTURBATING.

No I didn't stay ever masturbate, but like once z week is as much as you should be doing it. If you don't have a GF to naturally deposit your load into, you shouldn't reward your lack of sexual success by indulging in masturbation. Furthermore, masturbating robs you of energy, gives you too much instant gratification and rots your brain on porn.

"Desert Shrimp" is scorpions.
They're actually the pinnacle of Umami.
There's two main methods of hunting them.
Firstly, just shine a visual spectrum beam out across the ground at night and you'll see all kinds of little sparkling jewel looking things, yea, those are the eyes that happened to be facing you at that moment.
Or you could use a UV flashlight, scorpions glow under a UV light.
You prepare them much the same as you would shrimp.

Try to move on, don't dwell on it. No random generic advice will truly help until you yourself decide/realize it's over and done with. That being said common sense is mostly right: eat right, exercice, see people, set life goals and strive to meet them. Therapy can help, even if only to have someone that's paid to listen to you. With time, your mind WILL move on even if it might not feel feasible for now. Eventually you'll meet somebody else who hopefully won't put you through the same pains.

Don't do drugs or fall into alcohol, it'll become an unhealthy coping habit that will take ages to kick. Don't isolate yourself or think your pain or depression is somehow special and undefeatable. Don't obsess over the whys or hows or what ifs, did she really love me etc or even try to understand what happened. Eventually it'll make sense once it doesn't hurt anymore, and if it doesn't you won't care much anymore anyhow. Your mind is stronger than you think.
