Learn self-distraction. It takes alot of practice, but it works wonders. I've been struggling with depression since I was 14, and it wasn't until last year that I learned how to recognize when I was dwelling or obsessing over thoughts that were nothing but harmful. Train yourself to realize when you are "loitering" in the drearier parts of your mind, and don't let things that bother you "rent space" in your head. Take charge, fight it, and your ability to control your depression will grow a little stronger every day.
Peace, and good luck!

There is no reason for you to fall into a state of depression after a death of a love one, But there is a period of time that is needed for mourning. Also not going this mourning period can led you into a state depression. So Give what I said some thought and have a great life.............. There are other problem that you are having right now but we won't talk about them here and now ok. Have a great life...........................

Well if you're depressed about it, it's evidently not small - at least not for you. So unless you're stressed by too much work or late nights etc. which can cause people to get depressed over little things perhaps you should try seeing a psychologist - a good one can work wonders!!!

Death is just another force of nature, think of it as the ultimate rainstorm - you can't control the rain, so you don't obsess over it...
Or if you want something to make it more palatable, try reading Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels about the not-so-grim reaper (Reaper Man is a good start). Anyone that likes cats and sunny country days can't be all bad!

If you have clinical depression where suicide is a thought you need to see a doctor. If it's mild with no thoughts of suicide you can make changes in your life. See people who you like...volunteer....start a hobby.....start a journal where everyday you include something positive about yourself. Give it a try.

Death is a reality. Everyone must die one day or another.
what i think is.. we need to live life to its fullest... have no regrets.. and stop thinking about the small stuff.. you will not be able to move on..if you focus on the small stuff too much.

you have a very stimulated mind when you think about death. thoughts about death do point to moderate to high depression. lexapro really helps calm you down.
