Call someone. If your on meds, keep taking them. Go out and do something nice for yourself. Isolating is ususally never a good idea. Pray

I usually write and tell myself I wont break and suck in all the pain, grief and anger.
After doing this a few times you will automically not show any feelings.
At this point I dont feel anymore and even if I do i dont give a ****.

Say something mean to a random stranger, then apologize to them. It makes you feel stupid so you forget how depressed you were, and it helps you take out all your anger momentarilly

Depends. Are we talking about once in a while getting the blues? Full Spectrum light (outside or full Spectrum light bulbs), exercise, soak in a tub or jacuzzi while reading something lite, talk to a friend that will not press to hard on the depression but will keep a conversation going, stay away from alcohol (depressant), don't beat yourself up emotionally over it. If you didn't get down sometimes how would you know when something is lifting you up a little?
If you mean full blown depression that does not fade within 1 - 2 weeks, and instead seems to be growing stronger, see a professional. Not your general practitioner Dr., see a Psychologist (talk therapy - takes awhile and sometimes doesn't work, but gives you tools to use in coping with depression) or a Psychiatrist (prescription anti-D's). A combination of the two can be a big help, but most cannot afford it, and many aren't honest and open when talking about themselves in therapy. Good luck.

Get out & mingle with positive people, read positive books, listen to positive music, last but not least is to believe in GOD, he created the special you & loves you unconditionally.
Speak with you parents, depression is a state of being & mind, change your attitude & you change the outcome

I answered this question for someone earlier. You may think this sounds crazy, but go to a room shut the door erase everything that is going on to depress you and imagine you are some where you've always wanted to be. Imagine you have won the lotto bought your own car and your own house. That everyone needs you, but you don't need them. Imagine they are your servants and have to do everything you sayor go with out! You Rule them they do not rule you. Trust me when you walk out of the bedroom you will feel better!

Go out and have a drink. Listen to upbeat music. Look out at the sky. Go for a long walk. Take a nap. Call a friend, or talk to a stranger.

I like what posters 2 and 3 said. Also talk to someone, get all your feelings out, even if all you say is "I am so depressed, i can't stand feeling this way" Talk it out with someone. Run it out. Eat one of those delicious desserts from Friday's. Take something and retire to bed early in the hopes of feeling better when you wake up.

get out of the house, get sun, air and stay very busy..
if you have friends, try to spend time with them and get your mind off being depressed.. some people have the disposition of getting discouraged at the smallest setback.

Remember that God is in control of life so even though things seem bad right now, He has a plan for you to have a hope and a future.
If you can get out and do things for others, it often helps to alleviate the feelings because depression is really when you are too focused on yourself and your own problems. Don't cut yourself off from friends and family because they are the very people who can help you the most.

a best friend is a person who walks in when the whole world goes out. If you dont have a close friend, do something you like most. Try to sleep it off. Go to the temple / church. Take a walk in the park.

Try to find someone that understands where you are coming from to talk to. It is hard to deal with. Have some alone time to think about what is depressing you first, though. Sometimes I make a list of the things I am unhappy about and list what I can do to change them or make them better. I wish you luck on this. It's really hard. Take care.
