Short term cures like distraction or friends talking you out of it or talking yourself out of it is a good idea anyway I suppose, but try to find the root of the problem.+ Family members died? You can't really do anything about it try to get on with your life Something within your control? If you can fix it you will feel on top of the world. | ||

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. You can't say, "this isn't very good advice for males." I say the same thing I would to anyone. I've said this to plenty of my guy friends, and they've accepted it, done it, and been fine. Well, not fine, but they've cheered up drastically. If you're going to be some big manly douche bag man, then yeah, go for it and work out, get some bitches, you know, normal things. But if you have a heart and really need to feel better, there are basic needs every person, girl or guy, needs. The biggest thing like everyone has said here, is just to keep your mind and your body occupied. Any moment you have to sit around and start thinking again(unless it's what you wanting) is just going to bring down everything you were doing to make it go away. | ||

Or, get *reallllly* stoned, listen to some Opeth, and just get lost in the music, ^.^ Or, do you have a friend with a cat? It sounds silly. but there have been studies done that petting a cat does wonders for the mind. They even bring kittens to old folks home to cheer up people who are essentially just stored in a warehouse waiting to die. Sexual release is also a help. | ||

Crying is even harder. It's such a taboo in male society it just doesn't really happen. I can't remember the last time I cried. How are you supposed to intentionally cry? In any case, telling your average male to "talk about it" or "cry" and it's not going to happen like 95% of the time I bet.  | ||

I'm not saying we are all he-men that never cry or anything, just crying for us isn't really cathartic and doesn't make us feel better like it does for you. | ||

I just expect them to take the advice, and use it if they wish. /shrug Like I said, there are basic needs every person has. Sometimes crying, talking about things, and anything like that are really, really what you need. Whether or not you do it is okay! But if nothing else is working, sometimes it's worth it to suck it up and let it out. ;3 | ||

Why are talking like you're speaking for every guy, though? I know plenty of guys who think differently. | ||

I, as a guy, have gotten to know other guys quite well, and I feel that I can speak in generalities that would apply to most of us. Idk, maybe everyone I know is just a he-man or something. And by no means am I saying I don't ever cry (the last 30 pages of a farewell to arms turns me into a 12 year old girl every fucking time), just that I don't ever choose to cry as a cathartic thing when I'm depressed about anything less than the death of someone I loved. | ||

In any case, although you may not find it a solution to when you're depressed, it is a basic human action, that relieves different things. Crying is a natural stress relief. When you sweat, what your body is trying to do is to keep itself from overheating. Completely natural. It's the same with crying. When you get stressed, angry, or really, really sad, your body will start to heat up in reaction the different chemicals in your brain that are making you feel different. I was never saying, "hey guys you NEED to do this to feel better" I was saying, it's a basic human reaction to the surroundings and happenings. It's a natural way to feel better. /shrug Sometimes all you really need is a good cry, wait for the headache to go away, and you feel clearer and it's easier to look at things with fresh eyes. ;o | ||
