how do you deal with your depression?
What makes you feel better when your down?

[Lost in the Echo]

For me, listening to music, or drinking ( not promoting/endorsing it ), or coming on VT helps with my depression. It also helps to talk to somebody you can trust, about your problems.

well for me i lisen to music or play gta

[CharlieHorse]

This isn't really a good way to deal with it, but I'm self destructive, so it helps me.


I force myself to cry.

I always liked to cut things, if I have a nice knife, usually not myself... well sometimes a little nick here and there.

I write down how I'm going to kill myself. Then I burn it.

Eat a lot of food.

Other self destruction.

Talk to myself, tell myself that I'm a bad person, I'm ugly, nobody likes me, etc...

Try to stay up as late as possible in order to prolong the pain.

Here's the catch: after i wake up the next day, I'm no longer depressed. It works... temporarily. I need a more permanent solution...

I take out some paper and write what's making me feel bad and then I write what I'm thankful for.

[Abyssal Echo]

if I feel real bad I drink.(not promoting or recommending it) usually I listen to music, play with my dogs,or come here (VT)

Music, reading, art, religion, collecting, anything you like. Put your heart and mind into something 100 percent and you will find happiness in it.

[Love.Hate]

Plugging my headphones in and blocking out the world, getting drunk, writing in my diary.. and many more things that I don't think are appropriate to discuss

[ackmedsgirl666]

i cuddle with my boyfriend and pour out all of my problems with him and he makes me feel better with his wise and thoughtful advice.. my love my boyfriend. hes my antidepressant. anyways when hes not around... i look through pictures.. or read... sometimes i cave and i cut... guilty as charged... but most times i avoid it...
i also cuddle with my kitties too. they make me feel happy :)

Listen to music.
Cry.
Talk to my boyfriend.
Sometimes throw things. Mostly empty water bottles and pens.
Draw.
Eat a lot. Or depending on what I'm depressed about, not eat. Neither of which I recommend.
Think about something that never fails to bring a smile to my face.

[Mortal Coil]

[A lot of self-damaging behaviors that I won't promote at all.]
Also yoga helps. And meditation. If you hop on the elliptical or cross-trainer, listen to some ambient music, close your eyes and try to meditate while working out I find it to work pretty well.

I wish I could say more, but I don't want people to think that I promote the horrible things that I am compelled to do.

When I go to my athletics and I can do sprinting and talk to my friends there, it really helps and since I've got active more, for the past 2 years my life has significantly improved
