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.

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!

My suggestion to you is tht take part in activities,being lonely & just thinking abt it will not help u in anyway so make frnds or if u have c tht u meet them daily for somtime go for gym or look out for job or activity tht keeps u busy all the day.Try to b active go for morning walks or play interesting game or u have sister sit down with her & discuss this she also may b in a state to help u to deal with it. U r not deep in relation with people tht is not a justified reason for u to b depress . try to understand tht there is time & situation for every thing to happen u will get things but b bold to face everything

Exercise. Get plenty of fresh air and find someone or something that needs your help. I found wild orphaned animals and bike riding. Both are so important to my mental well being as I am very sick and my illnesses depress me. Once I started to focus on other things, like the animals or my exercise, I started to feel much better. I still get sad and even depressed but my friends and family know the signs now and they always find a way to get me through the bad spots. \n\nSometimes though, you just have to feel what you are feeling, then and only then can you move onward and upward!\n\nGoddess bless and good luck.

Try exercising...it really does make a chemical difference in your brain, which affects your moods. Stick with fresh, whole foods (no processed or fast foods). Start thinking about your life goals and what your purpose on earth is - and find strength in your chosen religion. Ask a doctor about a prescription for an anti-depressant like Zoloft. Try acupuncture. Watch funny movies and take meticulous care of yourself. I hope you feel better soon. The important thing to remember is: You can eventually start to feel better.

Look through old photo albums! That always cheers me up. Also, go somewhere with lots of orange like a park with lots of flowers. Orange is proven to improve mood. Go for a long walk. That will clear your mind or whatever your sad about. Hope you feel better.

Well, provided that you have been properly diagnosed with depression, it's possible you need to be placed on some long term medication. This will help regulate your body and brain into a more happy state of mind. You may also want to try some counseling to see if there are any underlying problems that you need to address. Good luck.

The advice of exercising and eating healthily is very good.  However if you are depressed then you should see a doctor.  Why are you hesitant to do so?  It is a medical condition, like a broken arm, only not so visible.  There is no shame in it.  However, if you go out and about with friends, take up a new interest and go walking especially in the sunlight if possible, these things will all raise your mood.  Listening to up-beat music helps as well.  If you go for a 30 minute walk every day, it is impossible to become clinically depressed, because the levels of serotonin in the brain will not dip to that level.  I hope you feel better soon.  Remember that family and friends will want to help you to feel better, don't think that you will be burdening them by talking to them about whatever is troubling you.  They will be only too happy to help you because they care about you.

You need to speak with a psychiatrist. There many drugs on the market for depression.\n\nBut I ask you this, what has been going on in your life? Why are you depressed?

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.

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!!

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.

I have often felt the same over the years.  You may want to evaluate the things that make your life "full".  Are they important to you?  Do you really enjoy them?  Or, do they just keep you busy?  You may also want to speak with your doctor about depression which can make you feel that way even when you feel you shouldn't.  Be well.
