Find a release. Do it often. Don't go and abuse drugs, getting high only temporarily hides the pain, if it even does that. It's probably one of the stupidest things you can do.
I felt really depressed a few years ago for a long time. I wondered what I could do to make it stop, and then one day I just wasn't depressed anymore. I guess that's not much help though.
Sorry to hear that, I myself am going through one right now. What I do is I usually walk around my town to get some fresh air, but if the weather is bad I just read a book or watch some movie to cheer me up.
Many studies have shown that exercise is the end-all-to-be-all cure for depression and that it works better than any pill. The problem is getting the motivation to exercise. Doesn't have to be strenuous either, just go on a walk, you'll feel much better.
I suffer from depression, but I don't take medication, simply because I don't want to. Unfortunately, some people have it so severely that they need it to focus and deal with their everyday problems.
What I do is I do something I like. Sometimes I write poetry(I write poetry a lot better when I'm depressed actually) or draw. Or just think of random things. Thinking always helps me deal with my depression because I'm allowing my brain to focus on something instead of my depression.
I got over it. I just learned to not care, so nothing makes me sad anymore. Put on some happy music and go do things you enjoy. Hang out with friends. Whatever you want, just have fun.
I just sorta went on with life. I know sleeping and losing interest in things you enjoy is part of depression. So I would force myself to stay awake and tried to do things I liked. Exercising some helped at times.
Granted, I wasn't in a deep depression, but I was feeling low for a month or so there. It sounds corny but just try to stay positive, doing that I worked my way out of it and feel better about myself for doing so.
