I am disabled from back surgery I had over 4 years ago and
I have been depressed over being out of work and not making money and going bankrupt with my bills and having bad credit and feeling bad most of the time...
I have gone to therapy and different doctors and am on
different kinds of medication right now...
I have been depressed about being out of work mostly with
no money making skills and unable to be hired for any kind
of job due to the fact that I have a hard time walking and standing...
I stay in my house a lot and play on the computer and watch movies and TV...
Sometimes I don't go out for days...
I have found 2 things that help me...
One is to make a list of projects or errands you want to do or places you want to go on certain days of your week...
Just a simple list of I need to go here and I need to go there...
The other thing I found that helps is to actually talk to someone, be it a friend, a counselor, a minister, a psychiatrist, or doctor...
Just talk to someone who will listen to you and offer advice...
That helps me a lot just to talk out my problems with someone else in person...

Depression is often low levels of a chemical in the brain called serotonin. Sometimes our body's just produce low levels for no known reason. Other times it may occur because of an incident like a long standing emotional upset or a physical insult to the body like an accident or chronic pain or having a baby.
A good way to help raise the levels of seritonin are to do exercise but it has to be regular. You also feel good about yourself as you start to get fit, look and fell great.

i think, in my opinion, have a good cry, let it all out, alone that is. Then relax for a minute or two and take a deep breath. You will feel better afterwards. Make something warm, like a cup of hot cocoa then take a lite nap.

when you depression you find a place that make you happy, also think about thing that make you happy! or take a warm bath with a little bubble in the tub! and think about walking alone the beach looking at the wave come in! or you do something that make you happy! and keep a smile upon your face smile!

is this a trick question?
depression is a build up of bad feelings, it's not built up gas that you can fart or burp away. depression takes time to work out.
beer and drugs are only a band-aid and sex wears off quick.. you will need therapy and possibly medication for your mental illness...
