Ok honest answer, if you're depressed rather than 'transcended' no you don't die. You have to make small changes, slowly.
You have to do things even when you don't 'feel like it'. Not hard things. Not big things. It can be as simple as cutting back a few calories every month. Tiny goals.
Deciding to talk to people more, just a little bit, even if it's once a week, whatever you can handle.
Making small goals for yourself, and achieving them little steps at a time.
If you're on a drug/medication that's making you feel this way and think you'd be okay if you could somehow come off it, make a slow, careful, well researched, tapering plan to get off that medication. etc.
One thing that helped me was to make a journal of what I do, and what I can change, to slowly make things better. Always slow, small steps, at a time, until you achieve these little goals.
Things start getting better, but if you don't change what you are doing, you won't get any different results.
Hanging out with terrible people? Go /against/ your insticts on who to hang out with, find nice people who are really good to you, even if you don't care ANYTHING about them, or feel connected to them with hobbies or whatever. Go AGAINST your instincts in this way, if your instincts are not working/have always lead you to the same place. (Don't go against instincts in terms of danger, if your instincts say someone or something is dangerous, listen.)
If you have no friends at all? Make a plan, to take tiny steps, to gain them.
Etc. etc. You get the idea.
In your head you can say 'I don't want this, I don't want that, etc. etc.' to everything I said here, and if you're that kind of person, you will say that, but you're just hindering yourself from getting better.
It's not what you 'feel like' that counts in life, very rarely, it's what you DO. Take small, easy, manageable steps, and just do them, even if you don't 'feel' like it.
The feelings will follow.
