I keep a Journal. It helps If I get depressed or even sad. I've been doing that for years now.

I used to be able to pull out my guitar and start playing and singing. I'd start with some blues and then within half an hour or so I'd be fine. A car accident wiped that out over 20 years ago. Now I take meds <ggrrrrr>  :sad1: and when it still gets bad I try to remind myself that the worst will pass.

Great topic!
The first step I take is tell God
after that I paint, I love colors
I watch a good movie, nothing better than going inside someone else's world to help you get away form your own for a while.

Talking to someone is always good.
Open the windows and blinds or tun some light on in the house.
Comedy, laughing is very good (if  you can)

glad you think it's a great topic.

boy can i relate with some of what's posted here.  i used to teach until i was t-boned in a terribnle wreck.

now i sit around a lot trying to find ways to keep busy and, if not happy, then at least not as depressed as i was after the accident.

i'd love to hear what more folks do.
