I have been extremely depressed these last few days. I begin thinking about finances and bills and christmas gifts and all. How do some of you all deal with depression? What activities or ideas do suggest?

talking to a loyal friend or family member. not thinking of christmas as gifts, more like the joy of the season. i understand girlfriend, it's tough sometimes. i don't think your depressed, just on the gloomy side. things will brighten up if you believe in the miracle of the season. not to get biblical on you, but religion helps with tough and rough times.

This can be a bad time of the year for a lot of people, even those not prone to depression. Taking a nice long walk will boost your serotonin and endorphin levels (the feel happy chemicals in your brain). They also have light boxes made especially for people that get SAD (seasonal affective disorder) that mimics sunlight that boosts the same chemicals. Some people swear by St. Johns Wort as a natural herbal remedy. You could also see your doctor and ask if you could be given something for your depression. The holidays are almost here, hang in there. I wish you luck and have a very Merry Christmas.

Prayer. You will never get more than you can handle, start with Psalms 23, you will find a way. don't worry about the Christmas gifts, celebrate the meaning of Christmas this year. Give your time, seeing those that are less fortunate than you will make you appreciate your life a little more.
Hope this helped, take care.

Exercise. I get depressed every once and a while, and a 3 mile run can do you wonders in more than one way.

if u have bills then limit gifts. no one willl help u when u are broke. try holisticonline.com to relax. i walk, pray, do poetry, guitar, and just fantasize about the beach with a beautiful girl.

It seems to run in my family, didn't hit me.
Get a pet, see a psychologist, exercise, don't shop to ease stress since it will make you feel bad later when you open your wallet
