What do you do when you are depressed

Join the club, I crashed about an hour ago, too. Although I did have a reason. Anyway, when I am down I usually try to have something sweet. Chocolate helps. Also, talking to someone helps, but sometimes that isn´t possible. So write about your problems here. And if you can do something that makes you feel good, like earn a few bucks online or watch a sappy romance, that is also good!

It's common if you've had a depressive episode (or episodes) before. I know how it feels like. But when i suddenly feel depressed usually i couldn't do anything at all. Maybe i try to listen to some songs that would make me sink in with the melody. Or write about what i'm feeling somewhere.

I get this too the out-of-the-blue-depression-syndrome. If the depression is uncalled for, I sometimes call home and check on my family maybe this feeling is intuitive, if they are ok or I send a small prayer to the being beyond and hope that this is only passing. Then, I keep myself busy by doing chores, getting online or go out and watch that movie people have been raving about. Keeping busy helps me pull through from this fit. I hope you do too.

When I feel depressed, I try to find out why first. If I can find a reason, then I know it will pass. Otherwise, I try getting out of the house, especially if the weather is nice. Walking is great exercise and it produces endorphins. I also take St. Johns Wort which I get in the health food store. It's safe to take and it helps elevate my mood and chase away the blues. I also love listening to music, reading a good book and just taking some time for myself with a hot bath and some scented candles.
