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.

Go on the internet and take a depression survey.  I bet you are depressed.  If you are depressed, seek treatment.

No, it's not normal to "like" being depressed. You should seek help. Maybe talk to a parent (if you're close) or a good friend. Change the things in your life that are bothering you. (Easier said then done, I know) But it's worth a shot. Do you want to be this way for the rest of your life? I hope not. Seek help!  : )

Get lots of exercise.  It helps with all that stuff.  Also think about seeing a doctor or counselor, and make sure you talk to people about it, 'cause keeping it all inside only makes it worse.  Get yourself on a regualr sleeping and eating schedule and stick too it.  Less variables in your schedule tend to make you less depresssed when you DO get depressed.

You definitely need to see a doctor before it gets worse to determine whether therapy, medication or both are the best route for you to take. Also, a quick fix that I found is eating dark chocolate - it gave me just enough to get over the depression feelings - but it doesn't last long - maybe a couple hours max.\n\n\nwww.mommastayshome.com

"HUG" look after yourself. so many people care about you, even if they dont show it. and if they dont, i care. i became really depressed in the middle of the year.. :( and im a bit depressed now. i didnt get really bad tho.. but u have to be strong. no one can really get u over depression except yourself. be true to yourself in life and there are always ups and downs. i guess... everything happens for a reason..\n\ni hope this helps! be strong and dont listen to those other uncaring sons of bitches that say shoot urself or something ok!\n"hug" good luck!!!! suzie

If you feel depressed, talk to someone that you like and trust.  Don't hold it in and feel that you are alone and no one cares.  There are people that care and that person might just be looking to help someone like you.

Please, please, please don't kill yourself!  You may feel so hopeless and sad, but killing yourself is not the answer.  You are suffering from depression.  Depression is a disease, it is a chemical imbalance in your brain that can be fixed, sometimes with medication, sometimes just with counseling!  If you have health insurance, please go to your doctor right away and tell him or her how your feel.  He or she will send you to a psychiatrists who can help you.  \n\nYou put this question in religion and spirituality, so I assume you are religious.  If you can't get to a doctor please go to your place of worship and ask your rabbi/priest/etc to help you.  They may be a counselor, or they may know one who can help you for free or for very little cost.  Even if you do have health insurance, if you  are religious you should go to your place of worship because your rabbi/priest/etc might be able to help you by getting you more involved in church activities or other activities where you can make friends.\n\nIf you ever feel that you want to kill yourself, please call a suicide hot line instead.  The people on suicide hot lines can help you find hope, get help, and stay alive!\n\nGood luck, I hope you will keep posting so we know you are OK!

Go to bed and get a good night's sleep, then go talk to someone about how you feel. Change your life: get a new job, move hosue, start doing different things on weekends (like go to bars instead of clubs etc etc). Just try to make your life interesting again.

it depends what youre depressed about. and how deeply youre depressed. if its about disappointments, troubles, everybody has em. if what you feel is really extreme, meaning, u might not know how to handle it, seek help. and dont go taking zoloft and shiit just because your boyfriend left you (thats a natural, understandable kind of depression- the assumption that its normal to be happy 100% of the time is bullshiit)- those things are addictive and have bad sideffects - the beast advertizers make it seem as simple as an over-the-counter advil. but whether you mean the really heavy depression or if you mean passing depressions that come and go (which are normal: do you mean like depressed beyond that?)- well, you have to tell yourself you'll overcome it and just know theres something better out there than how you feel now: this is something that you have to know somewhere inside - you create this reality for yourself even if you cant change the outside reality thats bothering you - to kind of look into the future that you want and see it as a reality that you have to work towards or bust - think of everything youre missing in life if you stay depressed or if you let what got you depressed keep you that way forever. and even if you cant change the circumstance that caused your depression, you'll have a much better chance to function if you shake it off or give yourself a ballpark deadline as to how long you'll be sunk into that low feeling- you just must invent your own determination or think about what really does it for you in life or what would do it for you- and think, i wont have that if i stay constantly depressed.so after sulking for a limited time to get it out of yo system, u have to move on- makes sense? at some point you have to be hard on yourself and tell yourself to cut it out - to start being nice to yourself, be a little gentle and not cruel to your own self - and when the depression has overstayed its welcome, and if youre determined to come out of it, you gradually open back up again. people should rely alot more on themselves than external medicines for depression - only as a last resort (and through a registered psychiatrist who you tell exactly how you feel, how long and what made you depressed) but generally even if its with medicine, you always count on yourself- at some point feeling better becomes your decision to consciously modify your mood - like becoming a character who you slowly believe in. even meds dont work if you dont believe youre the one who controls how you feel and how you react to things. just think if the depressions making it too hard on you and if you decide against it, decide to fight against your depression, refuse too accept it after its been too long - and you make that choice, bottom line, to float back up from the drowning depths of sorrow or just to stay there - even with meds, nobody but u can make that decision for you!

You need to get out and do something...anything.  You may need medications to help with the depression, but go out and volunteer somewhere.   Help somebody else.  For me, and others I know, it is the best way to forget about your problems and do something that will make you feel good about yourself.  I don't know about your friends and family, but you should get involved with them or join a church or some social group so that you get out of your own little world and stop pitying yourself.  I am sorry that you are feeling so alone and depressed, but you need to do something about it, not just wallow in it.  Blessings.

I'll tell you the problem. It's your age. It is fairly well known that people all over the world get a little depressed at this age.\nTry a foreign holiday. Without anyone. Summertime is good, go now. Flying is exciting - and cheap. Try areas that you can speak the language fluently. Get as much beer as possible ( spirits may harm ). Travel light; take minimum - in most countries laundrettes are plentiful. Take change of footware. Write  home. Telephone only when happy. Talk to as many girls as makes you happy. Ignore all males - they are not natural nurses.\nJoin in what you are good at only when happy. Eat less, drink more. Do not worry about spending too much. Take all forms of obtaining money. Walk more. Think of evil things to do to your enemies. Put those off until they are legal. Do not insult the locals. Smile more. Be glad you are not working. A month works for me. Grit your teeth - it's everybody else that's the problem.

Go get a lot of fresh air, walk or jog. The depression will lift and you'll find something else you'd rather be doing than on the net all the time.
