One thing you can do is an "attitude amp"
Start your day by listing all the things that are working in your life, outloud.
Do this for 17 seconds as quick as you can. This positive amp will make the perfect outset for problem-solving for the rest of the day.
Some other things you can do to spark yourself:
(1) Eat as much as possible from ripe, fresh, organic, raw fruits and veggies. Throw any left-overs into a blender and drink them as a fresh smoothie.
(2)Take a retreat from the TV (especially the news) and the Computer (especially the games and porn sites).
(3)Send a thank you note to someone you meant to thank for something but forgot to
(4)Get some fresh air... go for a walk and breathe
(5)Get some sunshine... or if the sun is not shining where you live, go somewhere bright for a while... even walking through a bright mall will help
(6)Get some exercise-- do something you enjoy
(7)Get a hug, give a hug
(8)Think of the people who have loved you in your life... from your mom to your granny to your first grade teacher and on.... how did they show you that?
(9)Do something kind for someone
(10)Say a prayer or do something else that is uplifting spiritually
(11)If nothing of the above works to get you back on track, you might want to check out the Emotional Freedom Technique, a quick and easy to apply method of getting you out of the blahs and negative emotions into the flow of positivity again. You can download a free manual or check out the practitioners in your area (usually psychologists) listed on the site. You can also buy the inexpensive DVDs and CDs and practice the technique by watching/hearing how to do it properly. Go here>> http://tinyurl.com/ybmdct

First off, examine your diet. Has it changed? How are your eating habbits. Food has a huge impact on the way you feel. There have been studies that say a better diet can help with depression. A better diet can solve a lot of problems. If you eat healthier you will most likely have more energy and feel better. Exercise can also help. If you try changing your diet and exercising more and you don't feel better go to the doctor and see what they have to say.

Seasonal Sadness Disorder; or clinical depression. I have both and the difference in my mood when the sun is shining is amazing. If this lasts check with a reputable doctor about some antidepressants; also have your thyroid tested! Low thyroid is MAJOR cause of depression-like symptoms. If everything checks out ok, try to make the effort to take a walk or anything to get you out of the house. My biggest struggle on certain days is to just get out of bed & take a shower, even though I know I'll feel better. My #1 therapy for myself is to take my 130 pound over-weight golden retriever for a brisk walk. We both feel better afterwards. Good luck. Depression really sucks.

Obviously going to a doctor would be the best advice! I always found drinking plenty of water and improving my diet by eating fruit and vegetables makes me feel better if I'm always tired - also taking multivitamins. You probably feel gloomy because of your physical state. Concentrate on that, and you should feel better. There also could be a more serious problem, so perhaps a trip to the doctor would be the more sensible option?

Well you have here a lot of answers so I will add just one thing that I am 100% sure of.
Try " bee pollen " for a while and I guarantee that you will see the difference. It is natural and can not harm you like other medicine.

Take vitamin B-12, 1000mg, in a lozenge form (B-12 is destroyed in the stomach). It should give you more energy.

exercise. it's good for both your body and mind, you know. in fact, a steady exercise regiment that gets you out and about (like bike in the park or something) is so great for your state of mind. you should try it instead of taking more medicines or supplements

maybe you need to see the doctor and discuss the possibility that you might be depressed and need something to take the edge off .
