How do you get out of severe depression without medication. I take medication for depression but you know it didn’t help a lot. Please any advice, Thank you.

I went through this, and sometimes still do.
Try to focus your mind on other things or even getting up or out and doing something different, read, do a puzzle, excercise, try to find people to talk to about anything, focus on positivity and laughter.
the more you occupy your mind with other things, the less time it has for the depression, eventually you forget the depression all together.
Above all though, know you are loved by God and through Him you can overcome.
I agree with better days. Experimentation is key to discovery. However, depression can make one less inclined to experiment. You might set a goal for yourself of trying at least one new thing a week.
Sometimes depression is made worse by things like diet, lack of exercise, sleep schedule, or even TV habits. These might also be areas for experimentation.

I don’t know that I can offer much, but I do hope to encourage you with this.
Oswald Chambers was a 19th century evangelist Pastor who wrote My Utmost for His Highest. He suffered with depression often calling it his Dark Night of the Soul. Being depressed, like any affliction a Christian might have, does not take away or minimize your position as God’s child. It doesn’t mean you can’t do great things for God and it doesn’t mean you are any less to God. I hope that encourages you.
