Take a deep breath and grieve. then start with the small stuff. pay a bill or dust a piece of furniture. then see how you feel. try doing just one thing a day until you feel you can handle more.

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.

Take a walk in the sunshine. The sunlight increases serotonin levels. Focus on good things either in your past or things you want to happen in the future.  Also drink a couple of glasses of water it seems to help pep you up.\n\nWhen I feel this way, I tell myself I can have a one day pity party and tomorrow when I wake up I am going to start the day with a brand new attitude.\n\n\nGood Luck:)

its hard but vigorous exercise really does work.use your anger and hurt to drive you on through the pain and exhaustion,this will give you a natural high which will counter act the low feelings.       \nafter a few sessions the natural high will start to last longer and get rid of the low feelings.Try not to think about it or make any decisions while you are feeling down because your mood really effects your judgement.IT WILL GET BETTER, HANG ON IN THERE.GET LOTS OF FRESH AIR.  GOOD LUCK

Open your eyes and realize that life is too short to be sad. You don't have to sad if you don't want to. I would undertsand your melancholia, if for example, you have recently dealt with a family member who has died. But really, you must find the source of the depression and fix it. Simple. Now, I have never gone through any such depression, as I am only 16, and have led a so far, happy life. If I ever did feel depressed, that is how I would approach it. Don't ever take antidepressants. They will only worsen things. Your body will become addicted to them, and you will see antidepressants as your "only way out" so to speak.\n\nGood Luck!

you can always talk to your doctor about anti-depressants, or if you know you or someone you know is depressed then find what makes him/her depressed and keep them away form it and lead them towards things of a fun and loving nature. If it is you yourself then find friends of a positive attitude to keep you mind off the thing that dpresses you and try to look on life with a positive attitude. Depression is like a major sadness that leaves you stripped of all desire to do anything, so the best way to cope with it is to stay active and deny your brain the though of the act that depresses you.

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!!

It depends on what you where hoping for? If you are sad or depressed because life is not going as you planned or imagined, then you need to start changing your view point from negative to positive.................\nTry your best to think about nice and positive things and when negative thoughts pop into your mind you can choose not to listen to them. I know that sounds strange or simple but it is true. I know we can not stop ourselves from having bad thoughts on occasion however we do not have to listen to or dwell on those thoughts. We can instead tell ourselves to stop, and redirect our thoughts onto something good, happy or just different. If you start doing this everytime you think of something sad or evil; example: If you start to think something sad like my son is late, I hope nothing bad has happened to him, what if he was hurt in an accident, what if I have to go to the hospital, and what if..... you know what I mean, it goes on until you imagine the worst senario... even making yourself feel sick or in tears. What if instead you say STOP at the beginning, redirect your thoughts to something nice instead, What if he has met a nice girl, what if he is having a coffee and cake, what is something good is happening instead. Or if the negative thoughts stay; What if you ask God to strengthen you by taking away your fears and by watching over your son and protecting him for you.\nTheir are many ways to can feel better without taking medication, one is to start learning to think positive thoughts, another is through prayer, or gentle stretching exercises, walking a dog, going for a swim, planting flowers, painting, or just having a chat. Life is a learning experience and it is not suppose to be perfect. Without disapointments we would not strive to be better, happier or more giving. We would not understand how important it is to love and care for others and be forgiving and compassionate. We would just be content to do nothing special when we should be doing something great.\nThis is what I have learnt from my past anxiety, panic attacks and depression, what doesn't kill you will strengthen you. I would wake in the morning and say "Oh pooh I am still alive", I wanted to go to bed and never wake up. I lived every minute in fear with my heart racing at 100 miles per minute. I weighed in at a meer 42 kilograms because of the constant panic attacks and depression. How did I improve, with faith, hope, and love I received from praying to God. I started volunteering in the community and have never looked back, their is always someone worse off than you. I sponsor a child in another country and I am too busy living for others to worry about my own problems.

Hate to say this but you are putting you through the emotional rollercoaster.  It's possible to stop.  Think about being open and honest with these two about your feelings, doubts, and fears.  You'll feel better.  And remember, the world won't end if this connection you feel goes away.  You'll still be worthwhile and valuable as a person.
