How do you encurrage yourself when you are depressed or failed?

just think about happy times and put the sad moments behind you. and try doing stuff outdoors as you will get some fresh air. or if you have depression pills lying around, just pop one.

I think of those important things we should always remember. The fact we have caring people who look out for us and if your a family man like myself then your wife/child should fill life with so much joy. Personally i try to quickly forget about it and it works! Kudos! ~Joey

One way is to watch a good movie that deals with people overcoming something. For example like Rudy - this kid went to Notre Dame college and had a dream of playing for this football team. Year after year he got denied from joining the team. He didn't give up hope and one year they accepted him. It was a great movie. I try to watch something positive like that and think to myself if they can overcome this, so can I.
