Get sun....Go outside and soak up some sun while listening to happy-go-lucky music!!!

I don't get depressed I get stressed out.

For me what works is being around other people and doing whatever I can to occupy my mind so I am not focused on what is "stressing" or "depressing" me.

"An idle mind is the devil's playground." It is so true.

one thing that i always remind myself when i'm down about something is that its not cancer. not to trivialize your current problem, but just to help you gain some perspective on whats going on around you and be thankful, if just a tad, that you aren't diagnosed with a terminal tumor or the like.

now, lemme say that i'm a geek. and whenever i hit a rough patch, its time for some serious gaming and/or reading a book. sure its escapism, but it gives you some time to get outside of the current situation. gaining some objectivity on whats going on will definitely help you dissect the situation and hit it from a new angle. never the less, while it seems odd, you can sometimes find a way to relate to characters in a book that will help you through a situation as well. I'm not a self help kinda guy, i generally read fantasy, but you'd be surprised.

I also agree with the volunteering angle. Getting out there and being around people who don't know anything about what you're personally going through will also give you a chance to get out of your head and focus on breathing in and out ;)

the tranny fucker has some good advise.............

I've never been really depressed.

But then, I exercise a lot. I think it helps to feel that even if nothing else is going right in your life you always know that your body is the best if can be.

That gives you a basic, unshakable base of confidence that keeps depression at bay.

I stopped crying the day I realized billions of people have it worse than me.

whack or wok?

Fire up one of the bikes and go cruise. Doesn't take long to cure what ails me. A snowmobile may be more appropriate for you.

take a nice long walk man

hope you feel better soon sleazy

I brag on chat boards and forums about my wealth, VIP parties I throw and how everyone loves to be like me, hang out with me and of course envy me. You should try it, it really works.

turn the gas on

get a male hormone panel done, could be andropause (seriously, this isn't a joke... it kills your quality of life)

Bingo. Don't underestimate the effects of the Canadian winter.

I think you need another boy's weekend

Drown myself in alcohol and drugs

This song always cheers me up .......

https://youtube.com/watch?v=SmVAWKfJ4Go

pretty catchy tune

put on some slipknot, tell myself to stop being such a puss and grow up and start working on something. Usually photoshop shit.

Or play some video games. Get your mind focused on something else.

I would suggest reading Jet's posts :1orglaugh

get some klonopin. now

just kill yourself already, you fucking slob.

just take it ez...there's always tomorrow...

:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Beat the wife..

j/k not married.

When ever i am depressed i push myself to get off my ass and do something about it.
Only you can help yourself.

one word.....

YOGA

Long walks sucks, you just think about all that shit then which maks you even more depresed.

I usually just work and listed to Trance music (with no sad strings and no sad lyrics). Helps a lot.

I ... Wank

Or order Chinese food and whack off.. :thumbsup

:thumbsup

Whack, as in order half a dozen different dishes.

Nothing says happy like flied lice and remon chicken.

Dress up and go do a few 100 miles an hour stretch on the lake with the snowmobile.

That should do the trick ;-)

I used to get on my motorcycle and ride through the desert for a few hours I called it My time! Havnt had to do that in a while although if I did I would freeze my balls off up in Toronto this time of year trying to ride my motorcylce so thats a good thing

Exactly! I've came to the same conclusion.:thumbsup

You live what you create...

I heard that when some people get down, they smoke a big fat bowl of dank to the face then jump into an FPS game and wrok random nubes for a few hours.

Personally, I like to mess with my stamp collection. :upsidedow

dude, that sounds fun as hell!

anyone ever fall in the lake doing that? or is it one of those areas where the ice is so thick that semi-trucks can drive on it?

In same situation right now.
Go out with friends, have a laugh. Try to meet new people...

Or, you get out in the fresh air (assuming you live somewhere that has it) and have time to collect your thoughts... and get a little exercise. I don't see any of that as a bad thing.

You can get to my place and we'll shovel the snow together:thumbsup:winkwink:

Take up golf, get some lessons though.

i'll go out with my friends.. or listen to the music!!!

Went through this a few years ago, not an easy thing.

I'd say endorphines you get out of exercising are a big helper, also feeling proud of urself after running or going to the gym helps a lot, but u need to force yourself to go back to the gym for a few times and that's not easy.

Food I'd avoid carbs as much as possible because they have a big impact on how you feel.

Buy a brightlight and read about the lack of sun depression syndrom thing online.

Maybe you should go on the snowmobile today (given there is no snowstorm, ggghh), spend a day just for YOU and come back with enough energy to excercise and be carefull about the food. Might be enough to start going back up.

If everything fails, jump on a plane, come spend a week or two in Paris. Living with the frenchs for a whle will for sure give you a better feeling about your life, lol

And as a few other said here, I'm always online :)

And then there was LIGHT.
Set up a room with an enormous abundance of light. All lamps possible.Get in extra wires for extra lamps...every bit of light helps.
Spent at least an hour a day in this room.
Going under the sunbench everyday or going to a sunny place for a holiday can help a lot as well. Just dont stay in the hotelroom.
Light is THE answer against depression.
:2 cents:

I went through a very difficult time in my life years back and felt pretty much paralyzed with sadness. I laid on my couch and barely move for about three weeks. Finally, a few of my friends came over, threw me in the shower, packed my bags,and took my on a week vacation. We went to roller coaster parks, spas(girl stuff), went to a few bars, and just had a great time. They didn't leave me alone to wallow in misery.

So my advice is to spend time with people you care about and do things you once enjoyed doing. Take a trip with friends or family--just take a breather from your current situation so you can regain some clarity.

seek for the reasons and try what others said

i stay in my room & listen to sad songs, relate my self to the stories of the songs, stress my self and get relieved :)

Exercise is a great thing to do, but it can be really hard to get your ass moving if you're depressed.
Going for a swim and playing with the water slides like a kid always cheer me up.

What do you eat? If there's a shortage of zinc, potassium, B-vitamins, Omega3...... (the list is long) it can make you feel depressed.

i party hard

Huh? How sad songs helps? You should get rid of all sad things first. :2 cents:

thanks guys
