Things to do when you're depressedd

I remember the time when I was depressed. Most of the things that depressed me was my experienced in life and my mistakes. And when I feel depressed I just lay down and think for a while what should be the better things to do. I also ask my friends to meet with me to chill out.

I usually listen to my fave music when I am in a depressed mode. Music can calm me down. But speaking of ice cream I usually grab one if I am very hungry, tired and when the climate is so hot. Yes, I fell relieve after have one cup or cone of ice cream especially on a hot summer day.

Ya pretty much the same things i do like eating sweets or shakes or maybe even an ice cream can cool of our head, so far my only motivation or even what i live is to eat till my heart content, after all that gives me a satisfaction that none can give, so far i never left my hunger get me anyway i like eating its sort of my hobby which i never can let go of.

Depression reacts differently for some people. Where there are those that can find comfort in food and or sweets, while with others they loose their appetites. I am one of the ones that quickly looses interest in food and or any treat when undergoing feelings of depression. I usually like to listen to music and or sleep for a bit to get my mind off my ever so thinking brain.

Hi ms mabel, in my case I also eat a lot of food whenever I'm depress but sometimes I prefer to go to sleep.. gain some rest so in that way, I will be relax.. ^_^

when i'm depressed, all I wanted to do is to cry..It makes me feel comfortable when all my emotions burst into tears..and when I got tired of crying, I go for shopping. that makes me feel revitalized again :)

I sure hope you're feeling better soon, my friend. I'm not depressed often because I have so much to do in a day, that I don't have time to be bored, depressed, or feel sorry for myself, so I think that is a blessed in disguise! Of course, if you're overworked and way too stressed, depression absolutely can set in. When I'm depressed, I really try to think of others. There are some shows I enjoy when I'm depressed because they lift my spirits, one of which is Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. I love watching the dream team go in and transform someone's life by redoing their home. I like seeing the people smile when they see their new place. Another show I really enjoy while it was on the air is Secret Millionaire. These millionaires and billionaires would go to these poor and bad parts of town and join a few charities for a week. They would put in a lot of hours just helping people. At the end of the week, the millionaires and billionaires would announce that they were actually really successful business people and then donate thousands of dollars to the charities. Everyone was always floored by the money and thoughtfulness of these rich people who spent their time helping others. I think that's the best cure for depression; focusing on others instead of whatever you are going through that's getting you down. Aside from watching these two shows I mentioned, but best thing would be for me to help others, and when those opportunities, I'm blessed to be a part of them. I hope that gives you some great ideas, my friend. Take care!

I don't think i over eat but then again i am troubled alot of the time and i consider myself overweight, or atleast above average weight range for the other women my age. I think it's important to find something that will make you smile, a joke a face an activity. Never let depression overcome your every thought and learn that life is what we make it and we should live to prove this to ourselves and loved ones each day.

Hi there mabel! When I was still a teenager I used to seek for the presence of my friends whenever I am depressed. I voiced out my problems to them and they gave me their opinions and advises. That way my depression was lessened. But now that I am in my womanhood, I read the bible when I am depress. Whenever I feel sad, lonely and worried I turn to God. I guess God speaks to us through the bible or by simply uttering a simple prayer. God makes me calm, relax and enlightened. Whenever you feel depress why not try it too? Thanks!

I also eat ice cream when I am depressed and I read somewhere that there is something in the ice cream that sends off serotonin to the brain which makes you feel good so in that case I say bring on the ice cream!!

I have different reactions to depression. There are instances that I just cry. Sometimes I binge out on chocolates and yes even ice cream or pizza. Food has a calming effect on me. Experts say view food as something that comforts us because it can be trace to the events while we were still a child. Our parents try to comfort us by letting us eat our favorite food. Sometimes I do not eat at all. I sort of deprive myself of food.
