Answer 2

1. Get some exercise. Exercise gets your heart pumping, and this raises the endorphin level in your brain, helping to relieve some of the depression. This is not a cure, but it will help! Try to get a half hour every day if at all possible, even if it is just going for a walk.

2. When you are feeling depressed, make a list of the things you like to do, then pick something from that list to do. Keeping yourself occupied will help. Call or visit your friends or family when you can, and try to get involved in some activities outside of class and work so you can make new friends. This will make a big difference. Volunteer at a local organization, the library, a school, the animal shelter or a hospital. You will meet new people and distract yourself from depression.

3. Educate yourself on depression. Go to Google or Yahoo Search and do a search on it. There are MANY websites that deal with depression, and many of them have hotline numbers to help. They also have remedies and suggestions. The more you know about depression, the easier it will be to deal with it!

4. Most importantly of all, talk to someone about it! You can start with a doctor. It does not mean that you HAVE to go on medication, either. There are medications that will help with the depression, but there are other methods that help some people. Be open minded, and talk to the experts before you make a decision. You may be able to just get in to see a therapist or something else. There are also programs available that can help people with money problems as well to see a therapist if you cannot afford it. Ask your doctor about this.

Good luck!

There are many reasons you might feel depressed. Do you live in an area without a lot of sunshine in the winter? You may just be experiencing Seasonal Affective Disorder. Try being in whatever sun you can find for at least 15 min. a day. Make sure you are taking vitamins. Are you getting enough exercise? Sometimes we get in a rut and don't want to exercise, which makes us tired and less likely to exercise. Also, take a look at the things you are watching and listening to. Are you feeding your brain and soul a lot of depressing, dark things? You may need to make a switch. Watch lighthearted comedy. Hang out with friends, listen to music that makes you happy. Maybe you just need a break from work or a short vacation. If you've tried everything and nothing seems to break your funk, or it gets worse, please see a doctor. Depression is a real, physical thing. It's a chemical imbalance, that will get worse if untreated. You can try to see a homeopath, naturopath or chiropractor, but don't ignore it. True depression is serious. Hope this helps.

IGNORE ALL THE EARLIER ANSWERS. If Soctt b sat in an unventilated garage with the car running he wouldn't be here to answer your question.

You should go to your doctor & explain how you feel, he may be able to give you advice that don't mean taking any meds.

Excercise works but it's something you have to force yourself to do sometimes, the thought of it can be worse than actually doing it.

I can't remember what you call it - but is when you don't get enough natural daylight in the winter - you can buy lamps to sit in front of each day which give you the same effect as natural sunshine which can stop depression. If you have no real reason for being depressed this might be why.

Answer 5

Hey Ray,
It is very common these days. I would suggest you, try to keep yourself busy. Don't keep yourself alone be with someone. Do things you really enjoy. Go to gym and spa if you have got access. If not, go for walk, listen to the music while you are walking. Reading will help if you are into reading. Watching TV does not work that well, you will more tired and low. Dancing is a very good stress buster, enjoy that. Make sure you don't make any important decisions. Ray you will come out of this try these and if nothing helps you should talk to someone professional. Wish you all the best.

Answer 6

I know exactly how you feel. I have found that if you find something that you enjoy doing it usually helps. I think mine is the cold weather. I love being outside and walking and just doing nothing sitting in the warm weather. I have recently found that going to the mall and just walking or curling up with a good book has helped me. Try to think of the thinks that bring you joy and focus on them and the sadness/depression will pass and if not then maybe just finding a professional to talk to and asking them to answer your questions and not prescribe any meds should be helpful too.

Answer 7

Answer 8

there is a solution that seems easy, but when you are depressed it is realy really hard to actually do. Get up. Go for a long walk and look up. Don't look down and look for as many beautiful things as you can find. The end. Sounds easy.. but exercising when depressed is very hard

Answer 9

hmmm...I agree with running and working out. Those help me when I'm down. How about jotting down the good things and bad things in your life. You may see a pattern with a certain person or event that makes you unhappy. Talk to a friend. I hope you feel better.

Answer 10

First of all, try to brainstorm what is bothering you. Then, go talk to a friend or someone you trust. Let them know how you feel, I know it's kind of weird for guys to do that. But try to talk to your best pal or someone. You could try write down your feelings through poetry, journal, story, song, etc. Good luck!
