Medication prescribed by a psychiatrist helped me the most, alongside a lot of exercise. Maybe consider that?

Yes, medication prescribed by a psychiatrist helps immensely, as does exercise. I would also recommend maybe drawing/doing art or writing, to help get your feelings out in a healthy and constructive manner. Talking to a friend can also help get those feelings out, as well as help with the feeling of loneliness. If this depression has become a daily, consistent thing, then I would definitely recommend going to see a counselor about it, who may even recommend you to a psychiatrist. The counselor can help figure out why you're depressed, and help you begin to get over it, while the psychiatrist can decide whether he thinks you are clinically depressed, and if you are he can prescribe medication to help deal with it. That's partly what happened to me, and I can tell you that the medication helped a whole lot, helped get the serotonin going in my brain again.
