How do you deal with depression???

Answer 1

There are alot of ways, it depends on how depressed you are. Talk to somebody about how you feel and what is going on. Talk to a friend or a family member, if this won't work try talking to a stranger, maybe seeking some sort of professional help. You could talk to me if you want if you think it would help, I would be glad to listen.

Either way... Good luck, and the sun will shine again for you, I guarantee it.

Answer 2

It is said that depression is anger turned inward. Otherwise, when there are things that make someone very angry and they fail to respond to them externally, they may take out their anger on themselves by being depressed. Perhaps some of your thoughts revolve around, "Whats the point of me even trying", "I am so pathetic", "My life is not worth anything". If this is not your specific problem it should at least be in the same ballpark, just stop the negative thoughts. Stop such thoughts and redirect you emotions to a positive outlet other than yourself. Painting, Poetry, Music or anything will help you express your emotions in a way that won't damage your self esteem, self image or self worth. Next, find the source of such feelings and find a way of coping with it. Nip the problem in the bud so to speak. Give yourself a goal and work towards it. Start simple, clean my house today, excersize twice this week. Work your way up to more gratifying things that will improve your attitude and sense of accomplishement. Read and expand you awareness of the world around you. A healthy, informed perspective lessens the impact of your own dilimma. I could go on and on but you get the hang of it after a while and you can come up with your own plan of attack. IT IS A LOT OF WORK, make no mistake of that but ask yourself if you want to spend the rest of your life being depressed. That should motivate you. Get a counselor if you cannot manage it by yourself. Friends and family can help, too. Best of luck and DON'T GIVE UP. I'll be rooting for you.

Answer 3

I was depressed for a while. I started exercising and it slowly went away. It depends on how depressed you are. If you are clinically depressed, then you need to see a professional. Try to stay away from antidepressants. They say they are not habit forming, but I believe the contrary. I believe with the right exercise and things to keep you busy all the time, most depression will go away little by little. If you are suicidal, then please seek medical attention. Don't be embarrassed by it, it is more common than you may think.

Answer 4

I take 50 to 100 mgs of Zoloft per day, going on 15 years now. Works for me. Talk to a counselor first, Zoloft is a prescribed medication. And DON'T be ashamed. A person suffering from depression is no different from a person suffering from diabetes, etc. We are all imperfect humans, everyone suffers from this or that...
