How do you handle depression?

When my depression is at it's worst, I get out of the house. Exercise it good. It seems to make some something happen inside the body that takes away the depression. Helping out others is also very good so I go volunteer at a homeless shelter of the local humane society. It seems that being around others that are less fortunate than I am makes me less depressed.

i guess in some stage all people suffer from depressions, i knew i'm depress if i feel so lonely inside me and there's a self pity, just like you i just keep it to myself and pray harder and without you knowing it you're in your usual self again.

I react to depression the same way. I find that I sleep alot, I can't eat, I have no energy, I hide out from the world and I turn inward. I pray for God's guidance and I try to look inward. I have suffered since jr. highschool and I am now 54. I have seen therapists and psychiatrists. I find myself suffering from dark distructive thoughts. Depression is probably the worst illness as far as not being able to find an answer and people of all ages suffer from it. I find it to be the worst during the early spring. I am seriously considering moving away from the west coast since I can't put up with the clouds and rain. Alaska was difficult for me also. I wish there was an easier solution to deal with this.

..you have to make a walck and look around the envoiment and the people, and the colors you like most, and the windows of the shops,and decide by yourself what things you like most and would like to have... BASICALLY EXTROVERT YOURSELF! Please let me know afterjob how goes! Ciao from BRELUSTE dk

for me,prayers would be the best medicine for depression. Cry yourself out to the Lord. He would neer get tired listening to you. Tell everything you wanted to say. He would never get tired listening to you.. Seeking medical assistance would also help. think of positive thinks

It is natural to feel depressed, every one gets depressed so nothing new. And if you dont eat its madness, sorry to say but if you wanna get depressed you must eatwell too....talk to people and ask them what they do when the get depressed the will smilingy reply you..follow their example.Try to be happy and post it soon here about how you overcame your state of depression and who helped you...come out of it.

Praying is a good way to handle depression. It's often recommended to pray to overcome the reason that you are depressed. Ask the Lord to show you what the answers are to correct the problems and be thorough about it. I know how being depressed is and how the Lord helps me immensely to get through my depressions (with a little help from my prescribed medications).

when i feel depressed, i eat too much than the usual. That's my way of saying or expressing to the world that I am depressed. I eat and eat and eat. People may think that I am a gluttonous person yes, but I just really love eating and more eating if I am on a depressed mood. I think it's bad he he! But when I am not depressed, I control my eating habits so, everything will still be balanced again.

You don't sound to happy about work today. Hold your head up. Your a beautiful person, whom appears to be of good Intellegent. So your depression could only be work, right?. The best way to deal with depression Is to talk about It. Your already falling to depression most passionate desire. Not to talk, especially to the source of your depression. The ones you work with. Usually when you do that. The depression turns out to be what you made It out to be. In your mind. Talking Is the number one culping skill you can develop for your self.

Most time, its my work..with ontime deliveries and work loads. I try to divert mind on music and i feel better. We need to manage depression, as it is part of life in busy world. But if we concentrate, we can manage it. I does it through my yoga, listening music and going out on vacation.
