I get depressed sometimes and I feel better when I do something constructive and useful - like work. It really helps to stay busy - this way, you get out of your head by focusing on something else and you keep yourself from dwelling on whatever it is that's getting you down. Also, I find it very uplifting to make it a point to find someone else who is down and I try to help them out of their slump - you might be surprised at how much that can help you to feel good about yourself.

Depression is an odd illness as it can last a short period of time, a few days or so especially if there is a life changing event but if it is severe and you are thinking of hurting yourself or others, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency facility, not a quick care facility as they may not be able to hospitalize you. There are phone numbers in the phone book with trained persons who will listen and can help you sort out how serious your depression is. Good luck, Suzanne

when my bf was depressed I remeber all that made him feel good was to have somebody who understands him in that moment and reassuring him that everything will be fine! Cheering up was definitly a baaaaad idea coz it makes that somebody feel even more depressed as he can't feel happy no matter what he does!

For me when I am depressed.....I spend time with my kids...they know how to make me feel better in their own special ways. My Daughter gives me lots of hugs & kisses....My son makes me laugh.....
If my kids aren't around...I call friends...or I go to the park that is close to my house & walk the trail there....helps me to clear my head & work through the things that made me sad....
