How do you pick yourself up if you're feeling depressed?

 

[SiN3m]

i usually turn the sadness to anger, listen to 'hit the floor' from Linkin Park's Meteora album and write hate poetry...

 

[Crates]

i've been trying to tell people this for a long time.

The best way to cure depression is to watch 'To Catch a Predator'. The predicament those guys find themselves in is much worse than anything you're going through. That helps me.

How do you pick yourself up if you're feeling depressed?

Okay serious reply:

Be active and engage in some form of sport or physical exercise. Swimming and jogging are highly recommended.
Focus on the positives and do something you're good at (e.g. play a musical instrument, or engage in a particular recreational activity).
Intimate your feelings with friends and family.

Walk around, do something fun, bludge

 

[Roga]

you could also light a fart... lifts me up all the time

 

[Misty55]

The things that set off your endorhins are crying, laughing and exercise
I can recommend all three
Most of all - get some help

I do this and then incessantly complain to anyone I can find using a LARGE amount of sarcasm. It helps me lighten up cause i would have been teasing people for the past hour.. and that's always fun

Going to sound weird...
but i watch a mega sad movie e.g. moulin rouge, titanic, shawshank redemption etc.
cry my eyes out
and either a. go to sleep because i feel tired for crying and wake up all better
or b. once finished crying eyes out i feel considerably better and do what i will

Or.
I listen to sad music and moan in my own sadness until i feel like a complete loser, then stop.

...hope it helped somewhat..

when i am depressed i draw pictures of depressed people. or people who commit suicide but are smiling when they do it. if i'm angry i draw pictures of people dying. i guess its the closest i can get to doing it myself without any consequences

Hit the gym. Hit it hard.

 

[Strawbaby]

I just go off and find something to do - sport, working, cooking, studying. Something to get absorbed in and distracted by.
Plus if you've made some achievement by the end of it, like a great meal, a huge cake, some $$, an assignment finished or whatever, you can have some modicum of pride in yourself.

How do you pick yourself up if you're feeling depressed?

Serious response: I take a nap / read a book / listen to music / talk about it.
Prozac can only help you so much.

 

[melimoo]

i put on disco music and dance hard

but normally i get pretty down and cant even be bothered to move...so..still working on it

DONT listen to sad songs. DONT watch sad movies.

Awesome. Now that is really cool. I wish i could do that stuff. It looks like lots of fun, but knowing my luck i probably would break my neck or run into a wall insted of goin over it.
