One of the best ways to deal with the weight of the diagnosis? Don't deal with it alone! ^^ I love art and so did Vincent van gogh he was also mentally ill, find someone you see yourself in and appreciate that person, appreciate yourself
I combat my depression by practicing positive thinking and finding ways to validate my existence. I donate to charity campaigns when I can, even if I can only spare $5. I acknowledge that negative events don't last forever. Some skills taught in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may help and can be found online without guidance from a therapist if you can't access one.
