For myself, I usually write music (turning depression into something creative is the best kind of therapy for me), go for long walks/runs and sometimes I draw as well. | ||

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. no offense but that's not good advice for males imho. Maybe the talking to meaningful people bit a little, but this is the same shit I just read in glamour magazine (only reading material in el banyo). I'd say working out is #1. Healthy body = healthy mind. Drop any drug habits you have (or at least minimize them). Self medicating is usually bad. Eat healthier ofc. Find a new hobby, or try new things. For me lately, I've been experimenting with cooking alot. Just whenever I think of something to eat or see somethin and go 'shit I should learn to make this' and I do it. Its not hard, just look up a few recipes online and compromise on the ingredients etc. Games and music are good distraction, but sometimes its not enough and they don't really benefit you unless you are doing something proactive with the gaming/music. Going/Being involved in events and things etc. I dunno if you have a girl in your life, but I'd say lot of unabated sex would destroy depression. PS- I've never tried this but I'm sure it would help, find your nearest soup kitchen or homeless shelter and try and help out somehow. Just spend a whole day there, guaranteed to hear some stories and you will definitely see how your life is not as bad as you think it is. | ||

Tried physical exhaustion like running, making pushups, etc... but it didn't work at all. It distracts me for a minute while i'm getting used to the pattern and then no matter how exhausted i am, the feelings are still there. I drank half a bottle of sambucca (40%) on my birthday to get drunk but while my vision was quite blurred and my balance was very off, my mind was still clear - though a little slow. Won a few matches in SC2 (Diamond league), lost a few, didn't play very differently (except that i didn't notice the drop killing my main, but well, that was my blurred vision). Spent 6 hours the next day removing the alcohol from my body the same way it entered. Couldn't speak for 4-5 days. Never touched alcohol again in the 3 month since then. Depressions got worse. Gaming... distracts me for a while, but as soon as there is anything where i don't have to think a lot (so usually anything since not even SC keeps my mind fully occupied) i get bored and depressed again. Work... boring, frustrating, makes it worse. Friends... well, only have one - my ex-GF (and before you say anything, no, there aren't any feelings and she is just a very, very good friend) - and she doesn't help much, no matter how hard she tries, but if you have any good friends they might help against depression, don't know. Music... making music helps for a while as creativity distracts the mind, but listening doesn't help at all. Well, this is just me, YMMV. | ||

If you are raging I suggest doing sport - running or gym(bench press ftw). If you are out of power depressed you should listen to music: for me black metal(e.g. Limbonic Art - In abhorrence dementia album) works well, because it is a hell music itself making the whole reality become much more bearable. If you are frustrated then probably drinking, sex, drugs should do it. Anyway finding something active to do all the time is the best depression counter in the long run. | ||

trust me, when you are running up that hill you feel like you are about to die and you won't worry about anything except keep running, and when you are at the top it feels like a new life. | ||
