Don't let yourself get drowned by depression. The Sun always loves you, the park always cares that you are there, the people around you (friends and family) will always care... There is'nt any depression that could ever keep you from your goals. Fight it every day to over come the demon that wants you to fail. Pray for a clensing from it. Or you will succum to the dangers of depression. Then your life will be full Hell.
Pick yourself up by involving yourself in a good cause. Or find something that fills your heart with positive feelings.
Like Art ot Music( learning music) Depression can be a tricky thing. Just like the (if you believe) Devil.
I like to go to the park, or believe it or not, watch Joel Osteen!
He is such a positive person.
I was married for 10 years. Husband decided to pick up and move to New York. I'm from Texas. No-way was I going to move to NY. Needless to say marriage broke up, depressed for a
while. Did something for myself.
I went to the movies for the first time by myself and watched " One Hour Photo" with Robin Williams at the artsy-fartsy movie house in River Oaks then I treated myself to a nice lunch and dessert at 59 diner! Makes me feel good to this day.
Try something new.

Good luck man, I hope this helps.

ya, i've had a month like that!
get out of the house.
talk to someone who you know makes you laf
well always remember that theres someone worse off than you. Think of a day when everything went well and how good you felt. And go for a walk in your lunch break and treat yourself to a nice yummy chocolate bar and think half of this day is already over :)
try and achieve small things. You're not going to take over the world on a day you feel down, but doing little things helps.

Like phone someone you love and tell them, or clean out a mucky cupboard or do some exercise.

Hope you feel better soon!
sleep untill tomorrow
Be active. Play a sport, do outdoor activities, watch an educational program (Discovery channel is a lot cooler than you think).
The only advice I really have, is to keep trying. When you don't want to, get up and do something. If a friend calls and invites you out, GO, even though you don't want to. My favorite quote is by Confucius, "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." Good luck, I wish you hope, happiness, help, and health.
Watch somebody injure themselves. It always does it for me.
Drink Vodka
Find yourself a course or an activity you might enjoy doing (other than going to your local). It doesn’t have to be something sporty, although sports will help a lot.
You can do computer course , car mechanics, learn another language. You can go swimming once a week, join a spinning group.

There are three main reasons:
1. It breaks your daily routine of school/work/no work/home work.
2. You will have a whole new group of people to get you going. After a couple of weeks you will find a new friend, or a new group to hang with that will be a new source of motivation.
3. It’s something that you do for yourself and will basically force you out of the house.
like everyone here do sumthing. get out of the house. you can try going to the woods.( that helped me when i was there for 7 months) or just something.. if you really want to kill your deprssion then id reccomend going there.
I agree with Jenn S. It's hard to go out when you don't want to, but it's best to just go. Although pick the friend wisely, you know who you can deal with seeing and who you can't I'm sure.
Also, it's amazing how much food can affect your mood. Try not to eat 'comfort' food, even though it's tempting. Try and eat the superfoods (google it), also check out some sites about food affecting mental health. Walking around the block can help too. Failing all that, I alwasy find a marathon DVD session of a series I love can make me forget stuff, at least for a little while. Whist its good to 'pick yourself up', occasionally you are allowed to just have a little mope and think about yourself.
all of these answers are excellent I do not have ""down" days often but every once in a while I allow myself to feel blue.depression is anger turned inward so ask yourself what am I angry about then ask is there anything I can DO about this situation, if not let it go or ask God to release you from the sadness, remember we have all these feelings for a reason
Hello there try and get out and about a bit more,join some new clubs and make new friends,i know that sometimes this is easier said than done,but please give it a try,have you any hobbies,or try going to the gym,there you can make friends and keep fit too,if all this fails maybe you need to talk to someone like your Dr,whatever you choose to do i hope it works out,good luck
