Have you experienced being depressed?How do you usually overcome it?

i was depressed lot a many times...and at that time i will be very silent..will not talk to anyone..and to over come it...i play with kids and watch some comedy movie .......and try to divert my mind with some work etc...

In my experience when depressed I will shut down emotionally and the things I once got enjoyment from I no longer do. Even the most simplest of things become difficult and challenging to do. Such as speaking to people in a social setting. Going out for the night seems pointless and trivial. When depressed one will usually prefer to be alone most of the time. I would sleep long hours and have trouble getting up in the morning. Your energy levels drop dramatically and you feel like doing nothing at all. Life feels boring and you begin to wonder is this life worth living.

In my lives,this situation often take place.I choose to eat or sleep.I can delight through eating.May be is expression.Let me think nothing through sleep,May be is evasive.But i hope that there are times in our lives that we feel being happy.
