Dealing with Depression

This (but on my boyfriend).

No more seriously, I think about death, my own death,and how would I feel (supposedly) if I died right now...and then I feel much better. It's twisted but very effective...

About the idea of getting busy, if you happen to have a game console and some games you enjoy, why not try that? Some mindless gaming usually helps whenever I find myself in that mood.
ps: Na naaaaa na na na na na na naaa na naa na na na na naaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

hey hey hey good bye?

i play warcraft III. Makes me rage harder. I need a good stress reliever game haha. I take wc3 too seriously because I play in leagues and stuff and hate it when i'm playing like a shit noob

I dont really get too deeply depressed and I think the reason for this is that I try to just blank out my mind.

I dont think about anything and if I have to think about something its usually about the colour White which helps to keep my mind reasonably clear.

My life just grinds on relentlessly and I go with the flow but that doesnt mean ill do anything, If someone asks me for a favour I ask myself "Whats in it for me" its usually nothing so no is my answer but that refusal helps to amuse me just a little bit, Only if it sounds reasonable do I help out.

Im living like im hibernating TBH, Bare minimum activity just enough stimulation to stop me going bat shit insane.

Its not a bad life... Better than being dead!

I try to focus on something less depressing. If that doesn't work, alcohol is always an option.

Half the time when I get depressed, I'm more halpful around. Yes, it's a werid habit to me too. Anyway....

The way I deal with it:
Step 1: trying not to think about sad things or moments
Step 2: do or watch something that is funny or Manly

If either steps doesn't help in the far future, never consider this opinion

everyone gets bouts of sadness now and again, the important thing os to not let them rule your life
When i get sad I blast music.
But I think this is a more universal technique: take yourself away to somewhere were you arent going to do something you'll regret (somewhere quiet, secluded), take a deep breath and collect your thoughts, now think of something happy when you think 1 happy thought the brain automaticaly lines 32 behind it.
I hope this helps.
safety and peace.

After you've marked your 5th consecutive year knowing that your family despises you, you have no friends, absolute 0% chance of attaining any of your goals and dreams, and living under the truth that all world societies everywhere would actively support beheading you as punishment for a crime you do not fully know if you actually committed and then we can talk about depression. Until then do not whine to to because you occasional rage quit things due to being annoyed by them.

Fap. Its works. Trust me

As others have said, try things to take your mind off of it. Anime marathons are a good choice. Movies or TV shows are great too. Consider trying a new video game -- rent something from a video store, download a free to play/free trial MMO, etc.

Try some task that's long and fairly complex that keeps your thoughts on what you're doing. Yardwork, writing, art, crafts, hobbies, etc. You could try cooking, even if it's as simple as making a boxed just-add-eggs cookie mix.

Exercise also helps. Running, swimming, hiking, etc.

Fap yourself silly.

When I'm really upset, I -- this isn't entirely safe -- take Gravol because it knocks me out like a light. Sleep puts me out of my misery for a few hours, but it feels like shit when you wake up.

I read some doujins and manga, play games, watch anime, fap, or I just sleep it all off. Just do the things that you like and would make you forget about the depressing stuffs.

Wow, what irony I have... not half a day ago I posted on here about overcoming my depression, and now I've just been thrown back into it (parents are divorcing ;_; )... It's so hard to stay happy once you're back in it.

is depression = an opposite of Inflation?
anyways, just live your life out

Fuck, I know. I'm usually a ball of freakin' sunshine, the happiest person I know. I'm always smiley for no good reason and I jump and dance around when a reason arises. But this week has been hard on me and I'm now mopey and grey most of the time. I want to get back to my old self!

Unfortunately, every time I'm alone with my thoughts for more than thirty minutes I just feel terrible. Which is why it's so important (@OP) to find something that makes you forget what you're supposed to be upset about. Keep doing those things dusk to dawn, don't let yourself have any downtime. It wrecks you. :(

I learned to love depression. i trip on the darkness of it. i let my mind wander to some pretty evil shit*, but i can step back and know it's all just a dream. maybe it's because a long time ago i saw through the BS that is this thing called "life"(i know the meaning of it, do you?).

i embrace it. i dive in deeper. make it my bitch. it's MY depression. I own it. it doesn't own me.

i tried some of those govt. sanctioned pharmaceuticals. they were more twisted than the depression. made me feel happy for no reason. get punched in the face and smile happy. cops shot my dog and i don't care happy. if you ask me, that's scarier than the depression. at least the depression was real.

Do something that will occupy your time. Like working out or something.

Last resort: Fap

Sleep, food, shopping, pokemon.

That is a really lame list, but it helps me, I don't have the focus for anything else, and I have to do RL shopping, not internet shopping because a) exersize b) I get things then and there c)sunlight

Sunlight and exercize are important for depression.

Theres also a book I work through in my "better" times:

Try meditation, it will clear your mind and alow you to move past what's causing your depresstion.
