many people find themselves depressed and fed up and some point during their lives.\n\nin some cases these feelings blow over in a few days; in others they can linger and make it difficult to function.\n\nthere are a number of things which may be helpful- you have asked us "what do it do?" and you may wish to dirrect that question at yourself in the form of "what do i want to do? how do i want to respond to my depression in ways that i'm not doing right now?" \n\nthere are many ways to approach depression positively. take up meaningful work or volunteer work, speak with a counselor, focus on your goals and positive assets as methods of healing... only you have the greatest insight into your personal situation, both inner and outer.\n\nwork with what you feel and what you would like to feel. look at avenues for change and growth (relationships, counseling, opportunities for enjoyment) and trust your heart.

1. Talk to your doctor. They can help you figure out what is wrong, and if needed get you some medication to level you out.\n\n2. Exercise. It is proven that exercise improves your mood. It always works for me.\n\n3. Talk to your parents, a friend, or a counselor or psychiatrist. It always helps to talk about whats bothering you and get someone else's perspective.

I am sure that they will "be funny" again.  Your personality sticks...the depression might alter it a little but they will spring back to normal.  Support them, be there for them.  If this person you are talking about is you, confide in a friend.  It's okay to cry and be depressed for a while.  It might be almost embarrassing to let that vulnerable side show since you/they were always the "funny and happy" one.  Trust me, you will seem even more real and likable when people see your human and have bad days...even if these days last for awhile.  Also, no one is too good to seek professional advice.  I'm not saying run out there and get put on medication, but you might need an extra boost to get back and going..whether it's just medical advice or whatever.  Good Luck.

Get out and make friend. Maybe you are depressed and need to see a doctor. What has changed in your life to make you feel this way?

If you are that sad or depressed inside then eventually it will start to show on the outside as well. You need to try talking to someone about your thoughts and feelings right now and try to get out what's really bothering you or getting you down. If you get to feeling worse you  could see a doctor and maybe try medication to help you feel better like paxil or zoloft. Just don't let it drive you insane. Talk to someone.    Good luck.

Maybe try writing it down then throwing it away, exercise, clean out a closet or refrigerator, go shopping or read the jokes under entertainment most are stupid but they will make you smile.  GOOD LUCK.  I'm sorry you feel down.

Keep a list of good things to refer to when you are feeling down - things that you have achieved or that make you happy. Be your own best friend, who reminds you of what's best about yourself. \n\nDon't stay in with the computer all the time - go out, get fresh air, smile at people, be part of your community. Also, have a proper routine for the jobs that have to be done - cleaning, self-care, paying bills, etc - you will feel better for being on top of them. You can give yourself a reward for each job completed....\n\nThink about the activities you enjoy most or are best at and plan more time for them in your life, and in ways that involve other people.\nSo if you are a good cook, cook good meals for yourself, but also volunteer to cook for a local project. If you enjoy singing, join a choir. If you feel you have no particular skills, why not take an evening class to learn a new one. \n\nExercise is good for your self-esteem as it makes you fitter and better able to cope with stress, but it has to be the right exercise for you. If you are not into team sports or the gym, consider walking, cycling, jogging or dance.\n\nImagine that you are a photographer or journalist with an assignment to record something beautiful or joyful every day. This will make you go looking for the positive things in yourself, in other people, in nature and in the world around you.\n\nBudget for a small treat each week, whether it's a magazine, a movie, a bright scarf, a new picture for your wall, a manicure, whatever you enjoy.....\n\nMake a list of ten things you would like to achieve or experience in the next few years, and start doing them! Don't get anxious about things you have not yet done - you still have them to look forward to.\n\nDon't give into negative thoughts about yourself or other people, or guilt about the past. Treat each day as a fresh chance to do some good in the world, to look for the best in other people and in yourself and to enjoy life.\n\nGood luck!

I'd stay quit. When you feel your mood changing, go for a walk or do something different. Maybe find a radio station that plays some slow jazz, or music that helps you to relax.

Activity - stay out of the bed, talk to a trusted friend.  Do not dwell on the probleml make do-able plans for your life and do one of them everyday.\n\nFor example you may want to take a course, call the school and get costs. Each day do something even the smallest thing.  But you must do something.  \n\nSometimes you may need medication to get ot of it, because the serotonin level in your brain can drop low enough and you will not get out of depression by yourself.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself and start taking care of yourself. Why should anyone have to help you when you can help yourself? \n\nWAKE UP and take a look around you! Life can be very unkind, and unless you hit back and make the most of it (without depending on the help of others) you are going to be stuck in a "miserable" life.

Find a new therapist who will help you and not just fill you full of pills!  \n\nAlso, try working out at the gym - that should help with self-esteem, make you feel less tired, increase your sex drive, and increase your motivation.  Research has shown that just 30 minutes of exercise can be more effective than an anti-depressant.  If you are doing both then maybe things will start to look up!

Go to a chat room, post questions, answer questions, go to sleep, and in the morning call a physician to see if medication for depression may help.\nAlot of people that spend alot of time on the net are bored or lonely or have some other problem and are seeking love and approval from others...people that don't know you anyways. And if you are lonely, speak with someone in your family or call a friend.

Get a purpose in life - eg. a job you enjoy, take relaxing walks in the nearby areas, or make friends...\n\nIf you are unable to get over the depression, you might benefit from seeing a psychologist: sometimes depression originates from chemical imbalance in the brain, which can't be helped by anything but medications. It is not a sign of weakness to see a professional before it's too late!
