What do you do when you feel depressed?

Just curious to know what you guys do to get out of that "funk" mode? I know depression can be a serious matter...actually i knew someone that committed suicide because of severe depression.

Answer 2

Clinical depression needs to be around just about every day for at least a week, so there's a difference between this and "feeling depressed."

Most depressive symptoms resolve on their own. Sometimes it just takes some time. Healthy eating, exercise, sleep, a good cry, comfort foods, time with friends, time alone... it doesn't really matter what you do, because it just takes time.

If time doesn't help, it could be clinically significant, and then you kind of need to consider professional counseling, and maybe even medication.

Answer 3

well for the every day blues i'll put on a stupidly cheezy movie to have on in the background (like love actually or some pixar flick) and then do something i like that isn't really productive - read... paint... play with my cats... whatever.

for the big stuff.. you have to figure out what works for you. i went on meds - after years of "not believing in meds" i finally gave up my pride to stop crying every day... i think it was a fair trade.
