I think this is a really important subject this days, as a lot of people seem to wallow in pessimism. We all feel depressed from time to time, and for a lot of people this is a serious problem. So, how do you stay positive?

If I knew I would be more positive. Forunately, when I get in a very bad depression..it doesn't seem to last long. Also, if you are a person of faith it helps I think. I am not especially religious though so I don't have that comfort really.

The things I do for distraction are: Walking alone and try to clear my mind. Meet my friends and talk about anything. I love drawing, and it's one of the things that helps me the most. Someone told me once: Don't stay alone in your room, stand up and get out. So that's one of the best advice I've heard.

Well mostly I just take the bad days in my stride and remember that tomorrow things may be better. To look forward is the only choice I have.

Take it one day at a time and try not to let it get the best of you.

When negativity strikes everything seems darker but to get out of it one must have someone to confide into.Many things mellow down when you talk to someone sympathetic towards you.That someone can be your family,friend or someone special.

I just go out and do the things I love. I surf, I ride my bike or go for a long walk with my dog. Any of these things remind me I still have good things in my life. There has to be bad times in life otherwise we never appreciate the good things that happen!
