Extreme post-high school depression - Does life get better?

I've been seeing a therapist myself due to depression, and one of the best things you can do is to KEEP MOVING, not just emotionally moving on in life and forgetting about your past, but also physically. I'm not a health nut or anything, but study has shown that exercise can help with depression. When you're working out like crazy, you basically forget about your problems because you're too busy thinking about how tired you are, how much your muscles are burning, etc. It's just hard to be depressed when you're exercising. So get off of 4chan and go running in the park. Also get some sleep. Insomnia had also been related to depression, so the more sleep you get, the better your moods will change. Get a rubber band and put it on your wrist and everytime you start thinking about how crappy your life was in high school, stretch the rubber band and give yourself a whack. Stop drowning in the memories of how badly everyone treated you. Go to college, meet better people, and who knows, maybe you will find someone who will love you for who you are.
