How do you get over feeling depressed?

I know it's hard to get out of this slump feeling when you're down, and it's so much easier to focus on the intense dissatisfaction, but if you get out for you--not for work, or to do mundante tasks and errands--I mean really get out and do something for yourself, you'll start to feel better. You could go for a walk somewhere peaceful, maybe go see a movie. Just do something out of the ordinary for your current routine, something that will lift your mood, and then get in the habit of being good to yourself. You have to break the cycle and habit of depression, just like any other bad habit we sink into. You can do it!

I agree with you that every one at some time in their life feels depressed. In my view this kind of feeling is normal in our daily lives as there is negativity everywhere. In order to get out of depression we need to do things that are out of our schedule. The things which we wanted to enjoy. Depression if ain't cured fast can lead to serious implications.

think of the misfortune of thousands around the world, due to lack of money, lack of luck etc. etc. you wouldnt get a siongle momemnt to be depressed cos what you have and situation you ae in much beter compared all the misfortune many people havee
