What do you do when you feel depressed?

[PGS28]

Try focusing on solutions to what's bothering you rather than the situation itself, even if finding solutions means asking someone who's been in your shoes or googling it.

I think it'd help to do something to take your mind off the situation, even if that's working.

I like to work out when I'm feeling stressed/overwhelmed.

Listen to relaxing music (I recommend zen relation music via YouTube)

Clean your place, light candles, take a shower then soothing bath.

Comfort food.  Even if you are on a diet.  It's called soul food for a reason.

Vent.  Whether it's via online forum or a close friend let it all out.

Think of all the good things you have going for yourself. If you can see, walk, make  lil money from home  that's a blessing.

Hope this helps!!!!

I feel depressed a lot and sometimes there is not much I can do when I feel this way. But it always help to find someone to talk too. Just talk about anything to try and get your mind on anything.

I mostly watch depressing movies or listen to the radio locked in my room.

i don't feel depressed to much but when I do, I pray and talk to inspirational people. when depressed you have to stay away from negative people, the Debbie downers. think of things that make you happy or smile. life has a lot to offer, try joining a group or doing something new. create a bucket list and see if that works.

Some good old-fashioned exercise is usually my ticket out of those moody blues. Sometimes just watching a good movie that makes you cry can do a body good.

I might watch a good tv program or eat my favorite food or snack. If that doesn't work I try talking to a good friend.

Unfortunately, I eat... and eat eat eat.

I listen to upbeat music and try to keep my mind off the negative thoughts.

Winter seems to be the most depressing time for me.  When that happens I try to do something for someone who needs help.  The lack of sunshine I believe is what causes a lot of depression.

When I feel sad or depressed I try to sleep so I can forget about things for awhile...but thats not really the best thing to do..I would say the best thing to do is try to surround yourself with positive things. Take on a new hobby. Do something that makes you happy.

I also fall out of my element when winter time comes.  I slack on working out, my productivity level is not where it was in the summer time.... IDK what it is about the cold  But I also get my determination back around Christmas time, thank God.

I watch a good movie or listen to music while knitting.

Well that is a hard one. And it all depends on how depressed you are. I suffer from depression and I find that music does help me. I can escape into a world that does not exist with music.

I think everyone has a little down feeling, mine is mostly in the winter as the sun doesn't shine very much.  Walking is good, and also doing something nice for someone seems to pick me up.
