What do you do when your Depressed??

in order to get out of this situation you need to feel good first. you know there are 2 kinds of energy around us they are positive and negative. these 2 energies always tend to be heavy with another. if you are in a bad mood then u should always try to talk to your heart about the good times you have spent doing a particular work and if possible you should try what you like. if you like to sit in a park lonely which makes you happy then do it. don't let your mind think about negative thoughts. do some yoga or a walk in a park for half an hour. hope this might help.

When I am depressed, I close myself to my room, try my best to sleep and relax. I don't want to talk to anybody. I want to assess myself alone. I don't want to hurt anyone while I am not in my own very self.

it happened to me as well once in a while... i just read books, go shopping and sleep to relieve myself of the stress... it really helps me when i do that... take care and have a nice day...

U should see a doctor if your condition is worse than what u think. Medication is one of the ways to help u out, while getting someone to talk to or listen to u, is the other way. U should not kep everything to yourself. Open up and share your problems. Learn from experiences of what people had gone through. Try exposing yourselve to the outside world, try out new things and gain new interest. That will help u too.

You know, there is lyrics in an old song that say "pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again" Try doing just what those words say and "start all over again."

This might be one of the best ways to cope with being depressed for you, just get it all out there and off your chest. I have a saying "Don't worry about things that you can't change" sometimes you just to let it go and it will work out itself. When I'm in that type of mood I write or listen to music that always sets me back to being my normal self.

i just take a shower to cool off, grab a snack and watch a movie that makes me happy then, sleep and hope for the best tomorrow.

I know it's tough when you feel depressed and you can't sleep because you keep having thought in mind when it is all quiet and ready to sleep, I have that problem sometimes, I just can't fall asleep because I keep thinking things. When I feel depressed, I like to go shopping, even though if I don't spend a dime, it is still nice to be out, look at things and relax. Or I like to take a walk with my dog or baby, get some fresh air, feel the breeze, it does help. hope you feel better soon.

I am rather fortunate never to deal with crippling depression. Granted, there were many times where I was down and not really feeling my best. However, that is not really depression, that is just living a bad day in life. It is really a bothering thing to be worse than your worst and I think that when one thinks about it, that is what these people who have to deal with depression are. They are feeling worse than their absolute worst. Just take a step back and take a deep breath. Try and isolate yourself for a short time and try and reflect upon life. Try and think of things that are going right. Positivity might only help a little bit but it is a foundation that one could build upon. Sometimes it is just best to take these things one step at a time, slowly at your own pace, until you reach a place where you want to be. That is really the best way to deal with depression, and it is a slow going process, one day at a time.

There are several therapies you could try: 1. Go for a walk through a park or near to a place where you see nature, take a breath, try to relax and to clear up your mind. 2. Eat a bit chocolate. 3. Take a relaxing bath. 4. Read for a while in the Holy Scriptures. 5. Do something different, change your routine during one day.

I too have experienced the same situation as you did and we both even have the identical reasons.Well,regular meditation might help.What i did was that i involved myself in my daily activities and made my life busy.Try this,it might help.

I try to get out of it , it's been over 10+ years so gathering some valid prevention strategies would help indeed .. I really hope and pray ; I don't feel like dying now.. and I have found escape to be futile. Focus on what to do to get back to full health and see it that way

I first would like to say I hope your feel better. I know at times life seems really hard and depression hits alot of people so dont feel alone. I would first start trying to deal with the reason you say your depressed. You say its concerning your girlfriend let her know how you feel. After that I would look for a professional pyschologist who you can talk to about your feelings, and they can probably help guide you. Definately start excercising yoga, or any other sort is a good reliever of depression, anxiety and stress. I hope this helps. Best of Luck, and I will say a pray for you.

well when im depressed i listen to mellow music it helps me alot... i eat sweets i go out for a swim, watch movie and pray.. people has different ways to cope up with stress.. my life is also a mess.. i dont know what to do and i feel so lost and empty..this was before.. when i dont open up with those people that care for me.. it'll help to relieve stress when you share you burden with friends.. when you speak your mind.. maybe what you need is just time for yourself.. soul searching maybe.. and just pray to enlighten you mind.. smile..=)

I don't know if you are religious or not. Why not pray to God for help? For him to give you peace or bring people to you to comfort and console you, like what each lotter is doing right now for you, but in real life face to face. It is tough to face depressed moments alone. The idle mind is the Devil's workshop, so do something nice to yourself at least. Take care.

whenever im depressed, i often write poems or stories. but another effective way of distressing is to talk to someone. whether a close friend, a sister/ brother, or a counselor. whether online or personal... expressing your feelings to someone who you know can understand you is a very great help to take away that stress. :)

Depression is a tricky thing, some suffer constantly and at different levels. others become depressed for a short time and dont ned extra help with meds. I wld say one thing if your able is to talk to a therapist or a good friend. Just someone who can listen. I think you just need to get your feelings out and heard. What ever your GF did was obviously hurtful for you.We all go through relationship problems and handle them differently. Being a person who suffers from depression and has been medicated for it before, one way to get through is to push yourself to do things. Go hang out with friends, go for a walk, go to a movie, etc. You cant do the same thing day in and day out. At work go the extra mile and talk to your co-workers out of the blue. Ask a friend to lunch or dinner. The more you put yourself out there and surround yourself with positive ppl and places you will eventually start to feel better. Sitting at home and doing nothing but thinking about it only makes it worst. At night when its time for bed drink something to help relax your body, read a book or listen to calming music. If you have any pics or any personal belongings of your GF I wld recomend either discarding them or putting them away for now. Now is time to focus on yourself be get yourself back on track. There is also a herb called meletonin. You can buy it over the counter. It helps to relax you and help you fall asleep. Do some research and talk to the pharmacist. Making sure you get enough sleep will help you overcome depression as well. Hope you get to feeling better.

Hi Princelierocks when i've broke up with my boyfriend i was depressed to but i make my self busy so that i cannot think about him, enjoy going out with friends going to malls , joy ride , telling stories to friends , Play game in the Computer online or offline game it is ok, Try to talk to your girlfriend and try to relax your self and re-mince what you have done in that day honestly for me it really work when i play an online game and hang out with my friends,

Get excersize and as much sunshine as you can. I've been depressed on and off all my life. When I'm depressed I just try to stay as busy as possible to keep my mind off things that aren't in my control. I write out long lists of things i need to do, and just go through the list so i don't have to make decisions about what to do next.not being able to sleep can be hard, i dont really know what to tell you for that.I just read, or get on the computer, or play a computer game.

calm prince .... calm ... I'll give you one entry that is often used when my friend was feeling depressed ... maybe this could be a healer of you're depressed. you try to change the atmosphere in your life, which ways redecorating your home or your room. or with a more easy way, that is to go to a place like the mountains or beach, look to the sky, remember one by one bad incident that burden you, then when all are gathered into one, remove all of it with a single great shout. repeat it again and again until you feel all the burden on yourself lost. This maybe be useful for you.
