I write a blog entry about my frustrations. I talk to my sister or boyfriend bcos they are the ones who can relate to my problems. If not, I sit down doing what I love, like reading a good book or listening to my fave music. Crying really helps too... |

see a doctor and ask them to help you resolve your depression.
and prolly some antidepressants to help you overcome the problem. |

stand in front of the mirror and smile and grin and twist up your face and you'll realise how stupid you look and then you'll start laughing and forget all about depression and pray to jesus for help he will help you. |

The hard part is figuring out why you are depressed. You may or may not be able to remedy the situation that made you depressed.
What helps me is to talk. Be careful who you talk to. Find someone who will listen and understand that you just need to talk and that they don't necessarily need to do anything to help you. By talking about it you find answers from within yourself.
There are tons of people out there who would do anything for you not to be depressed. You just need to reach out and they will be there for you. |

truthfully, go hide in the closet for me, but might not work for you. best way to alleviate depression, sounds hoakey, is activity. go for a walk, take a jog, walk the dog, go out and get moving. helps with the depression sleep fits too. If you don't want to go outside, clean the house, pick a room and just go until you feel that you've accomplished something. have a way for yourself to realize that things are not totally out of control and you can do something about it. |

I sleep. Then if I still feel down, I read my Bible for inspiration and guidance.
...and pray.
I will say that one time when I was very depressed, started counseling in addition to the above. It is helpful to talk, and sometimes family members can/should be included if it helps things change (if it is situational).
All the best - I'll pray for you! |

Try a therapy called lachrymology. It helped me alot. I have bi polar and many anxiety problems, yet through meditation and therapy I keep it under control.
Try not to abuse substances...you don't need any more chemical imbalance.
Analyse art.
Keep busy - start by achieving little tasks, like buying and maintaining plants. Write a little. Cook. Work towards goals, always be progressing. But remember, one hurdle at a time. |

I eat a bar of my fave chocolate while I cry. If that doesn't help, i get dressed and do a li'l shopping. If I'm not out of it, I call my honey and ask him to make love to me. That should get me straight back up to cloud 7 if not 9. |

I think you mean, what do you do about it, right? You keep busy, be with people you like and who like you, get some exercise (no matter how light.) And get rest, at night. Eight to nine hrs. Do not drink. Go to happy movies. Look at photo albums of happy things. And most of all, remember this is a passing state of mind.
Be well. |

I'm Gonna Tell You

write in my journal. It helps to expel the bad feelings. Also helps me to see the problem and brainstorm solutions. |

I think about how bad everything is - I don't take any notice of the good that's actually outweighing the bad in my life. I've gone through a lot, I know what it's like to be depressed. I'm bi-polar, and every now and then I get really down. Sometimes I write poetry, read poetry, or listen to sad music. I've read the Bible too, it keeps my mind off of things and it really is kind of nice to read. Other times I'll draw and play on my computer. Working out helps, as does watching a movie or shopping. Eating is another major one - Although I've taken control of that part - I used to eat when I was depressed - and that made it all worse because I had gained more weight. So eventually I started working out and worked off all the depression weight - running seven days a week and just taking walks outside and it's kind of peaceful when you can go out and you see the birds, rabbits, and lizards or other animals. |
