How do people actually get better? I've been depressed for years.

I've been 'managing' for so long I forgot what not managing would even look like. I don't even have a clean name for it. I just know it keeps running the day. I can get through a workday and then sit in the car for twenty minutes because going inside takes a second start. I figured if anyone would get it, it would be people here. If you crawled out of a similar hole, I want the unglamorous version of how.
