Play my musical instrument (guitar) as hard and loud as I can or am allowed to. Really helps release a lot of frustration or sadness, and helps me normalize myself.

Actually, one of the best ways I have of cheering up is just talking to people (friends), be it in real life or on vent - I can remember when my gf broke up with me, the first thing I wanted to do was just go hang out with anyone and go see a stupid movie that would occupy my mind. Really, just hanging out with other people and trying to have fun can be the best thing you can do in my experience.

Nothing right now. I'm fucked.

And it's getting bad. Really bad. Oh well.

Look at my two year old son sleeping - instant happiness. Although I haven't been truly depressed in a while, have a great partner and a great son, but sometimes I get a bit agitated.
Just a simple guy, going wherever this journey takes me.

Rearranging furniture in your home/room is a well known method for fighting depression. The feeling of change does well for many.

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.

honestly, if you people think you can "sleep off" depression, they have obviously never been seriously, actually depressed. go to a doctor.

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.

I dunno if you listen to hip hop or it even matters but here's a couple songs that can do some mental chin ups.

Haven't found anything that works yet.

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.

While you do these different things I suggest eating big, delicious, healthy and hearty meals. Eating a lot of good food always cheers me up

It really depends on how depressed you are.
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.

undepress yourself by exercising, socializing, doing activities you enjoy, and if needed try medication.

Translate proleague/proleague related stuff. Just keeps me away from doing something stupid.

If there's nothing to be done, then I just practice magic.

physical activities help a LOT.
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.
Life is run, it is dance, it is fast, passionate and BAM!, you dance and sing and booze while you can for now is the time and time is mine. Smile and laugh when still can for now is the time and soon you die!
