what do YOU do when your depressed

Usually just do something that requires a bit of thinking so I can stop thinking about being depressed.

Usually play a game or watch TV (music generally make it worse).

I find you just need a bit of time to get over it, and TV and games do this best because you become preoccupied.

Relaxation meditation helps to clear my head when I'm feeling down. Whack on some soft music (not necessarily whale sounds or tropical bird calls:D), lie down and just close your eyes. Sitting in a chair is another option. It's nothing space age. :) Take in deep breathes through the nose and out the mouth at first, and then ease into a natural breathing pattern. This can last for as long as 10 or 20 mins, or however long you need.

In any case, the body's natural balance is restored. I'll admit to finding it really daft at first, but it makes you feel refreshed, and able to cope with your problems better. Plus, the more that you meditate, the better you feel.

Alternatively, listening to music is a good option. Going for a walk, as mentioned above is beneficial too, especially if it's someplace new. I sometimes like to buy DvD movies. Nothing too plot driven or heavy going. Action, comedy or trashy horror are all helpful.

I also like to visit Yahoo Answers when I'm depressed. There's always someone out there with bigger problems than you, and reading about them is pretty therapeutic. :)

When I'm depressed I usually just go on walks or talk to friends that care.

Smoke more and drink more than I usually do. Which is probably not that much more anyway. :|

I just go and hang out with my friends, maybe watch a movie, hit a bar/club and get wasted.

if that isn't an option for whatever reason, i like to listen to some Michael Jackson music, always tends to cheer me up.

I either take it out on myself (stupid) or I try to forget about it by hanging out with friends, reading a book, listening to music, going for a walk, writing, sleeping, playing a video game, etc.t3hrubikscube

Look forward to good things that will happen. like the weekends. i always tell myself that the weekends holds loads of fun in store.

Talk to someone, someone you can trust.

I started talking to this girl 2 months ago, and I feel like I can say anything to her, so that's what I do.
