Identifying the problem is the first step towards solving it. You're on your way. The key to enjoying life is deciding to. Spend time every night reviewing and appreciating all that is good about your life. Make a list if it helps. Review that list when you're feeling down. Then, start small. Pick something you'd really like to do and do it. It can be as small as striking up a conversation with a stranger or as big as sky diving. Remember you're always in control of the choices you make. Good Luck!

I pray, read the Bible, put on good music (something with a beat to get me moving and laughing again), call a friend and go get some gelato, write, paint, workout, curl up in my hubby's arms, call someone I love and see how they are doing.  However, if I need to cry, I do.  Crying is good sometimes.  \n\nIt depends on what the situation is.  The important part is recognizing when you are down, so you can find a way to come back up. :)\n\nKeep smiling :))

First and fore most stay true to your feelings. You don't have to be cheerful if that's not the way you feel. There's nothing wrong with feeling sad or depressed.\n\nThe more that you are willing to be at one with whatever you are feeling the sooner it passes.  I find that when I do this I feel a sense of relief and peace. Inother words, don't fight the feeling or it will persist.\n\nLook inside and ask yourself what is troubling you?  I find writing feelings out on paper is very helpful.\n\nDo you have a trusted friend you can talk to?\n\nIs there anything you can do about the things that are troubling you? \n\nTake this as an opportunity to get to know yourself better and raise yourself awareness.

If you have a history of depression, you may want to consult your doctor, but if you're just having a down day, get in your comfiest pj's, grab a nice blankey and a box of kleenex, and cry it out honey!\nFeel better! =D

You can either: \nTake it out on all the people that care about you and make them miserable (like a friend of mine)\n\nOr there's always: reading, watching a great dvd, getting a fish tank (cool hobbie for stress)and write down your emotions.

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.

There are many ways to feel better. You can do one or more of the following things.\n\n1) VOLUNTEER at your community - orphanage, school, organizations, parks, hospitals, homeless shelter, animal shelter .... the list goes on and on, there are so many places to volunteer at... your bound to find a place that you will enjoy helping out at\n2) join a community organization\n3) speak with your friends or family about ways to meet people\n4) just say hello to people at your work (or school if your still a student), even if they are strangers\n\nBy engaging in one of these activities, you'll find a friend or just someone to talk to. Then you'll feel better.

I found talking to a therapist very helpful.  There you can express your feeling and not be judged.  But the only way for things to really change is if you change.  If life feels that horrible, change your life!  Change schools, change friends, live with other relatives.  Sometimes a major change will help you see the world differently.  And remember, no matter how much life sucks sometimes, it's better than the alternative.

I have a medical condition, which means that in any given month, I have 5-15 days like that.\n\nMy solutions:\n-Read favourite books, especially funny ones.\n-Listen to favourite music and sing along.\n-Clean the house, it uses up time and gets something accomplished, and you're not happy anyway, so what do you have to lose?\n-Go for a brisk, angry walk, and burn off some of the hostility -- 'depression is anger, without energy' -- hate the weather; hate the streets; hate the grey sky -- or the blue one; you'd be surprised how well it works.\n-Put the best linens on your bed, and put on a sexy nightie or dress, give your best mate a friend, and giggle about sex.\n-Though you are not in the mood, if you have a partner or friend who's willing to pamper, seduce, and make love with you, you'll feel LOADS better!\n-Write all your feelings down in a journal.  \n-Take a long, hot bubble-bath, shave your legs, spoil yourself.\n-Get your hair done.  It's amazing what a lift that can give you.\n(WATCH OUT for the tendency to spend money and overeat -- they are serious problems when depressed!)\n-If you're in work, smile at everyone, even though you don't feel like it.  They'll smile back, and that feels good.\n-DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL!  Especially not alone.  This way rehab lies. (Same for drugs, obviously).\n- Have a good friend round to yours, and have a right old good whinge, she gets to whinge too, and you'll probably end up laughing.\n- Do any hobbies you have, like cross-stich, or gardening, or learn one -- I spent YEARS knitting or crocheting blankets which I then gave to hostels for battered women, and homeless people.  It was both something to do, and doing it for charity made me feel good.\n- Watch a sad movie and have a really good cry.\n- Write poetry, or song-lyrics (for your eyes only, if you like).\n- Go to the library and get an introductory book on something you know absolutely nothing about.  LEARNING can pull you out of that grey place really well.\n- Watch a documentary or film about the real world, like 'Hotel Rwanda', and give yourself a dose of perspective on your problems.\n- Go to the gym, if you have a gym membership.  You won't want to go, but the exercise will make you feel better.\n- Doodle.\n- If you have kids, play with their toys.  Make a fort with Legos; find out how much fun fingerpainting really is.  If you don't have kids, keep some toys, for playing!\n- Sleep for 24 hours. Sulk, pout, be down, until you're bored with yourself, and have to laugh.\n- Masturbate.  ORGASM is guaranteed to improve your mood.\n- Go somewhere and pretend to be anyone other than yourself.  If you don't have a car, and would be recognised, do it at home.\n- Go to your House of Worship, if you have one, and seek spiritual guidance.\n\nDON'T DROP OFF THE FACE OF THE MAP.  IF YOU FEEL SUICIDAL, CONTACT EMERGENCY SERVICES OR YOUR LOCAL SUICIDE CRISIS LINE.  TELL SOMEONE HOW YOU'RE FEELING.\n\nYou'd be amazed how much people, even total strangers, care.\n\nI do.\n\nGood luck.

First, feel free to really mourn.  Don't wallow in it, of course, but let the feelings run their course.  They begin the healing process.  \n\nSecondly, begin doing things you know you used to enjoy, even if you don't feel like it.  You might not get the same kick out of things at first, but sometimes you have to act like you feel good before you actually do.  \n\nFinally, remember to count your blessings.  Focus on the good things in your life.  There are many more than you may see now, but you'll see more as time goes by.  The more you focus on the positive, the more positive your outlook and your life will become.\n\nGood luck.  We've all been there.

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:)

I know what your going through, sometimes my life just completely sucks and i just wonder why? does the world or god have something against me or something. But when my life starts to be crap.But the world isn't against, it just seems that way when your life isn't going the way you want it. When i feel this way, I do this: Take a long hot bubble bath, then sit down and watch your favourite movie with a mug of hot chocolate, and just relax and forget about it all. That's what I do, try it. It may work.

Big sympathy - so horrible to feel like this - hope it was a good night and worth it though!\n\nChuck on a tracksuit and a baseball cap and get yourself a couple of bottles of sparkling mineral water, some soluble Berocca, some food (like pie and chips!) the Sunday papers and some Haribo Star Mix.\n\nDrink all the water with a couple of Berocca tablets (it's a super ace multi-vitamin effort that works wonders) eat your high calorie food and then collapse with the papers and your Haribo on the sofa in front of some suitably terrible TV - I tend to find Hollyoaks works wonders.\n\nThen get yourself down to the pub early evening and have a couple of halves of lager and lime. \n\nHope you're feeling better soon :-)

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.
