What can I do about depressing stretch marks? :'(?

Stretch marks happen due to rapid growth of either muscle or fat. Skin fiber break and once they heal white scar forms. Nothing topical can work on stretch marks like creams because scarred tissue is dead and can't renew itself. Only thing you can do is to mechanically exfoliate stretch marks scars. This doesn't hurt because they are dead. You don't need to pay professional you can do this yourself if you get medical crystals which are used as a body scrub just they are much harder and specifically made for this purpose and don't damage skin with sharp edges. I scrubbed stretch marks every time I took a shower and they were reduced to invisible within a month.
