Have a real frank talk with your girlfriend, or friends - preferably one who won't call you a pussy the next morning.

Normally I just sleep it off but going for a jog or cycling works too. For me I just need a distraction that doesn't feel like a waste of time at the end of it, like video games or TV, those can feel (to me) like a huge waste of time. Something productive to keep your mind off it should help.

I don't know, for me, it usually just goes away after a while. I'll cry for a long time and be close to tears for a week, and then it goes away and I feel okay again.
Just gotta find those who are important to you, and keep them close. I don't cry, for whatever reason I just can't, although I'll try talking to my parents, I don't want to drag my friends down too. Your friends are there to support you through good and bad. The biggest mistake I made before was not trusting my friends, or my boyfriend enough with my depression and my problems, and it just caused even more problems. If you have friends that are close, they are understanding. I'm here for my friends, no matter. One of my close friends is constantly depressed, has had a bad life, his mom did drugs, but I did all I could, and he says he's happy he had(and still has) me around. Sometimes all it takes is one person caring and understanding, one person who's willing to sit with you in silence until you feel okay, one person to really, make you feel somewhat decent again. Somewhat human. Right? Don't be afraid to "drag your friends down", because you won't be. Really. I trust my friends with everything, but they are going through some stuff right now too and I don't want them to add my issues on top of theirs.
Your friends aren't selfish people. It's a two way street; You listen to their problems and they listen to yours. Not exactly like that, but you get the idea. You have to give to get a little, right? And if you're being so considerate of their feelings and acting like a friend, it's only fair they do the same.
I could be having the most terrible day ever, but i'll still stop and listen to my friend or help them out. I care about them, so.

Run. Take every chance you can to get outside; don't hole yourself up.

Sometimes it's even nice to just talk to people who you don't know at all on the internet.
Message someone on TL and see how it feels.

I listen to music, write, and go for walks.
I don't do a very good job of it, though.

Usually when I'm depressed, I take a slow walk outside and meditate about my thoughts. It helps me clear my mind of what's happening around me, and just focus on what I need to do in order to bring myself out of the situation. Having less distractions during the walk helps a lot in focusing. Yeah I'll be doing this while I run. Show nested quote +On January 11 2011 14:56 Whole wrote:

I listen to sad music so I can wallow in my depression and fully embrace my feelings.
I don't want to get more depressed, I've done that in the past and it didn't help at all, thanks for the suggestion though. Show nested quote +On January 11 2011 14:58 THE_DOMINATOR wrote:
Get over it. Life is too damned short to be depressed. You don't like the situation you're in? Fix it. It will only get worse if you try to distract yourself. Make a list of what you are going to do every day and stick to it. I guarantee you won't feel as bad in a week or two. Do you truly believe that there is a fix to every issue? If so, you have probably lead a very sheltered life. Show nested quote +On January 11 2011 15:02 University wrote:
man you need to do something physical ASAP. Maybe you aren't athletic, but that doesn't matter. Get on a strict diet, work out, feel good about yourself. Unless you have a serious physical handicap that prevents you from working out at all, get out there and start running/swimming/biking/etc.
It sort of gets all the bad energy out of your day and allows you to be less aggressive towards yourself and your life. I already work out daily, I just haven't had the time to go for a good long run lately, and earlier today when I had the time, it wasn't the first thing on my mind so I didn't think of it.
No but if you can't solve it you better learn to live with it .

Hang out with friends, be social, excercise, pick up a hobby, read a good book, listen to positive music, get a puppy/kitty, try to excel in something, do something new and outrageous, try mixing things up in your life like rearranging your room or make a new look for yourself.
I've been depressed about life as well. There are many things we can do to help us get through it. The things I listed above are just a few. However, the strongest factor in getting over depression imo is to stay strong/positive, look forward, and never give up on yourself. But do seek professional help if your depression does affect your day to day life such as with work, friends, family, and etc.

Music is good... kpop/jpop always puts me in an outrageously good mood no matter what.
Thought I'm sure it would just enrage other people

When I'm really depressed? I cry a lot.
When I'm feeling really depressed, but when I think about it, nothing's actually wrong and I'm feeling shitty for no real reason: Usually smoke a bowl, masturbate, and read/play games.
Otherwise, get OUT OF YOUR ROOM BY YOURSELFFF. Seriously just go hang out with people and *force* yourself to do something you'd usually enjoy. Very effective and pretty soon you'll be feeling much better.
But yeah, when you're *really* feeling depressed... it sucks. I end up just crying a lot and keeping to myself. In these situations a friend usually has to sort of force me into being social/feeling better. t.t

think through why im depressed a few times until I have every aspect covered. I wait it out after that..
|
Do the complete opposite...be positive as shit and not care at all about the results! Be silly, go out and be silly w/people in public, stuff like that.
edit:
oh yeah, utterly crank some upbeat, postive tunes, music is ALWAYS good.

1. Run your heart out. Very hard to stay depressed when your body is driving itself forward through sheer willpower at more miles than you've ever ran before.
2. Do something nostalgic. Play an old childhood game, or go eat somewhere you haven't gone in years. Maybe watch one of your old favorite movies, get a list of ridiculous movies from friends that will distract you.
3. Draw
4. Anything that keeps your mind occupied. Time can heal literally all wounds, your brain is a magnificent creation that will heal itself. All it needs is time away from concern about the subjects at hand.

Freewrite.
Run.
Masturbate.
Look up ventrilo rage on youtube and revel in the fact that you will never be those people.
