how do you fight depression?

Crying can help relieve depression, but it's definitely not the cure. Depression is a disease of the mind, and I believe that the only cure lies in strengthening the spirit. A strong spirit that is armed with the Truth, has Hope and lives with Love for God, makes a person with a strong mentality that is not in any way crippled by depression.

I use to manage depression, listening musiq, playing violen and i like chocolates, and i feel i get refreshed after having my chocolates. And best remedy is Meditation, try breathing exercise, it will help you balance and handle depression.

It is true that crying can releive depression, we are releasing the pains and worries we are suffering. I too do the same. Accompanied by crying is praying to God, to enlighten me and give me more strength to overcome all the depression i am experiencing. Afterwards, i feel too tired of crying then fall asleep. Sometimes, i cry in front of the mirror. Crazy! isn't it? Yeah, but it helps me a lot, coz i found myself laughing afterwards then move on.

I do a wide variety of things when I'm going through a depression: I write furiously in my paper journal. I rant about whatever it is that could be causing my depression in my online journal in hopes to receive constructive comments and support. I research what's bothering me online. I look for books that might help me (I have my own self-help library over here, it seems). I talk to my mother or my boyfriend. Nine times out of ten, though, the way I get through it is first writing it all out and then finding someone to talk to about everything.

Meditation will help you to overcome from any short of depression. Because it build up your mental strength. It is a part of YOGA. sumitbc

Mostly I cry, but I also write, and I always try to find things to be thankful for, thanigs I'm happy about. Sometimes it's just little things, but the more things I find to be thankful for, the better I feel. I'm not saying that positive thinking is a cure-all, but it does help.

I feel you should develop positive outlook to life. Think positively, have your priorities right. Also try laughter therapy having a sense of humour and having a hearty laugh is helpful. Then you should take deep breaths and focus on your breathing. Doing yoga and meditation is also beneficial. Also stay active and lead ahealthy lifestyle.
