This. It's always been tons of effort for me, just with little results, at least when I finally broke down and first got my depression diagnosis, then went to seek more answers.

With medication and a lot of therapy, it's now more results and paradoxically less effort as I now try to pace myself instead of putting all of my resources out there all the time.
