What are some ways you get rid of depression?

There are many ways you can overcome depression that work very well. The most important thing to remember is that you can control your thoughts and feelings. You can learn to change habitual thoughts and feelings that bring on the moods of depression. \n\nOne of the best ways to combat depression is to stay active. Find activities that you enjoy and seek out new interest. People are usually depressed when they have nothing to do. Get active in your community, join a bowling league, take a class at your local community college, volunteer your time to an organization, or take up a new hobby such as stamp collecting or crocheting. Busy yourself with things you enjoy doing.\n\nBe positive! When life lets you down, make a list of the good things in your life. Even the small ones count. The list can include such things as your family, your friends, your job, your back yard, your health, and even your ability to grill or cook. List items that you are good at doing. You may think grilling a steak to perfection is no big deal, but I have no idea how to grill a steak without it being leather. So, that is a feat to be proud of. On this list put every little thing. Now, when you feel depression coming on, take out this list and read it over and over again. This may help you with your self worth. \n\nDo not let others cause your depression! You can allow others to hurt your emotions, or anger you and this can also bring on depression. Remember the person that is negative is not you! Do not let their moods influence your emotions. So, what they don't like your shirt, they don't like the way you cooked breakfast, or they have some other complaint. You like your shirt, you enjoyed breakfast, and their complaints are just that, complaints without any merit. I am not saying to ignore others, but don't let them drag you down. \n\nDon't sit around by yourself! Being alone and idle can bring on major bouts of depression. Everyone enjoys having others around whether in a small group, one on one, or big social functions. Get out in the world. Find like minded friends and family to occupy those times. \n\nIf you are still having problems with depression and just can't seem to rid your life of these feelings it would be advisable to visit your doctor. There could be a medical reason that is causing your depression such as prescribed medicines, menopause, or other illnesses.\n\nGOOD LUCK TO YOU!!

First of all, do not blame yourself.  Depression is a chemical imbalance that is easily treatable.\n\nMy recommendation is to visit a licensed doctor that can evaluate your mental condition and prescrible a method of treatment.  It may involve medication; It could involve meeting for regular counseling sessions.\n\nIn the meantime, this might help:\n1:  Sleep regular hours (6-8 hours a day).  Too much or too little sleep will only make the situation worse.\n2:  Incorporate more fruits and veggies into your diet.  Also, try and drink more water.  This will help get your body on more of balance, which in turn could help your mental situation.\n3:  Exercisize regularly.  This releases "feel good" chemicals into your brain that can help alleviate your depression. Also, it will help get your sleep on schedule.\n\nI hope you feel better!

This will work:\n\nTry a 4 hour job (part time) job; that you don't necessarily LOVE, but you do it for the sake of it, and some money. It may take your depression away forever.

Start eating more healthy foods  and go to the gym and do weight lifting. It will build muscle and you will gain weight.  Lay off the cardio for now.  Exercise increases endorphins in your brain and help cure depression. Trust me it works.  So you can kill two birds with one stone....the depression and the weight loss.  Try drinking protien shakes if you can enjoy them.  Soy protien is pretty good...better than the whey. And remember....things could always be worse. If we didnt have bad days we wouldn't appreciate the good ones!!  Enjoy your life for what it is, we are not here forever.  Time heals everything in some way or another.

Talking to trusted family and friends, moderate exercise (brisk walk, 30 min/day), and daily exposure to sunlight can help.\n\nIf depression lasts more than a couple weeks, you should see a doctor.  It is best to talk to a psychologist or social worker.  Psychiatrists do a better job than family practitioners of prescribing medicines for depression because they have so much more experience with it.\n\nAlcohol is a depressant, not a stimulant.  It is best to stick with drugs prescribed by a psychiatrist.

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.

I understand your desire to understand depression, and to search for a remedy. When it\ncomes to your health, remedies that are stronger are\nnot always better. I have three things that have\ngotten me through times when I've been depressed, and\nthey're all gentle solutions that I think will suit an\nintelligent person like yourself. \n\n1 - The first is what Freud calls the "talking cure".\nHe insists that it must be performed by a\npsychoanalyst who you are paying for, but actually\nI've performed it by writing in a diary. The key is to\nbe very honest, and try to find connections that you\nmight otherwise be supressing, because these are the\nareas that need work. For example, what's the first\nthing that pops into your mind when you think of\n"depression"? If the answer is "flying a kite", then\nfollow the chain... What do you think of when you\nthink of "kite" and "flying"... You'll be surprised\nhow quickly this takes you right down to an event in\nyour childhood or an unresolved conflict that might\nhave happened a year ago.\n\n2 - Looking for lies. A chair cannot make you\ndepressed. A lampshade cannot make you depressed. Only\nanother person can make you depressed. I believe it is\nbecause a chair and a lampshade cannot lie. Only a\nperson can lie. Depression, it seems to me, comes from\nbelieving a lie. That conflict (between reality and\nthe lie) takes up so much mental energy to maintain,\nit drains you as a whole. You may find, after using\ntechnique #1, that it leads to you to this conclusion\n#2. For example, after free associating your way to an\nevent, you might find that it was when someone told\nyou that you weren't worth a hill of beans. The\nproblem is not that they insulted you, the problem is\nthat you believed the lie. Beware, giving up on a lie\nthat we've believed in for a long time is tougher than\nit sounds.\n\n3 - This one is going to sound goofy, especially after\nwading in deeply with the other two techniques. Get\nsome light to shine on the cells in the back of your\neyes. Go outside for an extended period of time\nwithout sunglasses (no need to stare at the sun or a\nlight-bulb, indirect light will do). Use one of those\ngentle light therapy products like www.everlyte.com .\nTake a trip on a sailboat. Spend a few hours in open\nfields on sunny days. It's those cells in the eyes\nthat produce much of the chemical that pills and\nherbal remedies seek to replace, but the cells in the\neyes put the chemicals where they are needed, in your\nbrain, and not in your stomach and everywhere else.\nThis third technique will help you with the other two,\nallowing you to think clearly, and get out from being\nstuck in a loop.\n\nI hope this "whole-istic" answer is as helpful to you\nas it has been to me over the years. A gentle look at\nthe whole picture is often better than a sledgehammer\nto just one piece of the problem.

fIRST OF ALL,IF YOU ARE SUFFERING FROM DEPRESSION YOU DON'T GO SEE A REGULAR DOCTOR! tHEY CAN'T RELATE! Sorry I had caps lock on.\nYou need to first go to a psychologist for an evaluation and can be referred from there to see a specialist. The psychologist is capable of diagnosing and ordering meds for you if neccesary. Meditation also works for some people,but I would stongly suggest that you see someone who is able to evaluate the extent of your depression.

surround yourself with positive thoughts. set simple daily goals that you can achieve. stick to a routine as much as possible. give yourself a compliment at least twice a day. write things down in a planner or journal to help you stay focused. and if all else fails... seek professional help. depression is nothing to play around with. sometimes we need outside help and that's okay.

of course, there's plenty you can do about it. go to the library and get acquainted with the self-help section on depression. when you have access to school, get to know your school counselor or psychologist. ask them for resources. join depression support groups online.

Yes absolutley, The most natural remedy is your mind and the strength of it.\nJust as your body needs exercise so does your mind.\nKeep yourself occupied when feeling depressed.\nlook up in the sky when you feel a bout coming on.\nLearn to recognize depression for what it is.....\nIt is only an emotion you must learn to control...\nEmotions can hurt you only if you allow them to...\nEvery one gets depressed ...some let it go to a point where it causes one to inflict harm on themselves.\nAs it is an emotion and only that you can and must realize it for what it is and make a consious descision to control it and not let it control you.\nThat is the exercise.\nYou must work out just as you work out with weights or in the gym.\nAlways keep in mind that it is only a feeling and it will pass it is uncomfortable at the time but it does go away and harming yourself for relief is not the way. Control it and it will pass.\nThere is a chemical reason for its increase and progression but that is brought on by the mind not controlling the emotion.It will feed itself if you allow it.\nDo not throw away the meds immediatly as the sudden shock to your system could worsen your situation. Tell your Doctor what your trying to do and work with him or her.\nBut you must first come to the reality of your affliction.

Therapy (and during desparation, drugs) will help the symptoms, but the root causes of depression have to be eliminated.\n\nI disagree with it being a brain diorder.  Your serotonin level depends on how good your life is going.  If you're going through a tough time, your serotonin is low.  Watching funny shows on TV and exercise allow you to make your own serotonin.\n\nThe best way to beat depression is to stay on a routine, betting up at the same time of day no matter what, have morning and bedtime rituals, and journal like crazy (I prefer notepad on my laptop.  Surround yourself with things that you feel are your identity.\n\nAbove all, stay around people.  What saved me was starting to hang around a church group.  And in them I found a ton of people to trust and feel comfortable around.  Gradually, my identity resurfaced, and I was back to my old self.
