librazone1948	People spend a lot of time trying to run away from their depression and other mental anxieties. They run to drugs and anything to divert their minds away from the cause. Instead face it head on. Lie down and close your eyes and lie absolutely still.Do not move any part of of your body. Stay like that for 20 minutes and just let any thought come into your mind.Face the anxiety of your own mind. You may feel a lot of anxiety welling up inside you but do not move and do not try to switch your mind to something else. In a while the feeling will dissipate. Make this a part of your daily routine. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Emina	You shouldn't really "forget" about depression. Neither is it easy to do, plus it would only last for a very short time and it'll hit you even harder when it comes back, making you retreat from reality even more so, causing you to isolate yourself from everything and everybody. You should use methods that help to ease your depression. I have provided a link for you below - I hope it helps :) Normally talking to someone you trust helps to take the burden off - and there's always someone out there who is willing to listen, even when you don't think so. Professional help is a good step sometimes. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Rowz	Well depression stems from so many different things, so I wish I could help you on a certain topic, but in general, depression is a state of mind. Most of the time people like feeling depressed because it just seems right, and I am speaking from experience. It feels right because it is right. It is a human emotion, so feeling it is ok, but acting on it is never ok. I will stop there though about acting on it though because this isn't a motivational speach about suicide, you can go to someone way more stupid than I to hear that crap. I think that you have to put yourself forward, make new relationships. It's always a journey when you are walking right next to someone, especially someone new. For the most part, I think you should take up writing. Don't do it when you are depressed, just do it when you're mind is at peace, it is at those times when we find that focus is almost never ending. But to be blunt about it, get off your ***. Go get a movie, or hell, go spend your whole pay check on junk food. Who cares? Do what makes you happy. E-mail me if you need anything :] And also: Never, ever seek professional help about it unless you are close to death. What you are feeling, is absolutly normal and unless you explore it, you will never learn what you could have known. Don't ever be afraid of yourself. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

queenfan89	Go get counseling. It'll help,trust me...Drugs and alcohol won't help at all;it'll just make you go deeper in depression because the chemicals (of course) alter what the brain perceives. And these substances also will affect your health years down the road. I understand what you're going through,I've been there and I still am. The best thing for you to do is get help because you can't get through it alone. Read up on depression and you'll definitely find out some routes of therapy and you'll have to figure out which one is right for you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

love child	Doing something that you love doing . . .Physical activity is often good (walking, jogging, tennis, swimming, volleyball, bowling, golf, kickboxing, etc.). Or if you are artistic, lose yourself in your art, playing music, writing, drawing, singing. And if you are really depressed, you may want to find a group. Your community probably has some type of hotline or weekly meetings. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jewels	I deal with depression as well; I hope you have sought professional help...if not, please talk to someone about your symptoms, because they rarely go away on their own. My point is just to make sure you are trying to deal with it and not just forget about it though. If you are trying to deal with it and just want to escape for a bit, I recommend volunteering somewhere; I don't know if that is your style, but it is one of the only things that works for me. That way you focus on others I guess, and not yourself. That works best for me. Just as long as you don't use alcohol or drugs; they just make you more depressed in the long term, unfortunately.
