go hook up, and make out with you significant other. let go, dump it in to the moment, see if love can save you don't say a word to your partner, about what fried you, just be in it for what make you feel the when your together the things that make you raise up and the pain goes away, love seems to work for me but it wore out allot of woman trying to be happy but with only one life to live keep trying to find what makes you float back up. most women never see how deep and how much i don't have now or ever will be a person with security, the tighter the bad times are to you the more u have to be in love with the kind of person who needs to be Close too other wise life make no sense and full of bad things, badda boom

The medication can take up to 8 weeks to work, even then you may not feel a whole lot better, they don't put a smile on your face the can act as a safety net. Excises is good, but getting the motivation to do it can be difficult. Get a good daily routine and stick with it. Avoid high caffeine drinks, they don't work. Counselling is next to usless, go for CBT, check with your local mental health team they are very good at helping with these problems. Read up on depression get lots of info so you know what your options are, Join a support group, there are lots of others out there with the same problem.

Whatever you do don't isolate yourself from others. Try to go out at least once a day. Also take up exercise, it has been proved to work more effectively than most anti-depressants. You must also ensure that your diet is full of vegetables and fruit. If you are feeling really desperate and really don't think that you can get out there are many crisis intervention numbers out there like the Samaritans. You could also take up a hobby that you could do once or twice a week. This will help you to meet new people, build up your self confidence and self esteem. Why don't you try some form of martial arts and yoga to help you to learn how to relax your mind and switch off from negative feelings. You could also try cognitive behavioural therapy instead of counselling. This works on looking at negative thought processes and how to change them.

To get over those really strong depressive moments somepeople try, running, crying, excersing, screaming, talking to someone, or just letting it all out.. When you have these moments I think you should probably avoid everyone until you calm down, that or just stay with the person who kinda knows what your going though and can help you though it.. and will stay calm even if you snap.. I hope this helped a little..

Hi if you are having coucilling and you are on tablet the councellor should tell you how to cope with these moments. I would recommend taking passiflora as it is a nerve relaxant and is herbal so you can take it with your other tablets, this helped for me when i was depressed but the doctor wouldnt put me on any tablets so i had to take these and they were brilliant. The also helped my aunty and my mum who had recently lost a family memeber. My aunty said they worked better that what the doctor gave her to calm her.

One of the very best things you can do is spend time working with the needy. There are plenty of agencies that would be more than happy to have you volunteer. Often, when people who feel depressed get into helping those in need, they begin to feel their lives are much more rewarding, take focus off themselves, and begin to see themselves as much more fortunate.

In my experience, dancing.
You get up, put on some music and dance around your room like a crazy person.
Exercise automatically makes you feel better, basically its like chocolate only good for you.

If it's really bad .. there are suicide phone numbers you can call just to talk with someone and help you over the rough spot. Or call a close friend .. or someone you trust.. just talk with them. It always helps. :) Good Luck!

you know what after losing my parents, and then myhusband walking out on me, i thought this it.. i,m going to be depressed and its the happy pills for me but it never happened..don,t get me wrong i was sad and angry and upset but taking pills would never have taken those feelings away, it would have just masked them and then sooner or later i still would have had to face it..so stop the pills and face up to your problems
