Ooh, exercise is a good one. That will definetely help. Always does with me.
I have a radical idea that may not go over so well. I agree that everyone gets depressed once and a while... and gets over it. But what if you choose to be over it? Just decide not to be down anymore. It may not be possible in all instances, but you may find it works. Life is about choice. Choose who you want to be.
Some people lack it to begin with, and when you're depressed that certainly doesn't help. I'm not saying your idea isn't bad, just that for some people it might be a bit difficult.
If your gf is just causing a bunch of drama for no reason and not helping you out at all during this state, you need to get rid of her... All she will do is constantly remind you of this depression, and you will never get better.
He's definitely right about that. Mine would nag me and nag me to go and see a counselor about how my mom doesn't make dinner every night. I don't expect her to make dinner every night, she's a human too and deserves some time to relax. My girlfriend though decided this was a big deal and I needed help. So everyday she would ask me if I went to see one yet, and when I said no she'd try to tell me about how I'm hurting her...bla bla bla. Point is, she was majorly dragging me down. Like I said though, ever since I broke up with her I've been in a much much better mood, having fun with life. Sure, there's still stuff that gets to me but there's not a constant stress.
But what if you choose to be over it? Just decide not to be down anymore. It may not be possible in all instances, but you may find it works. Life is about choice. Choose who you want to be.
That's what I was trying to say in my first post.
Good luck though, I'm sure that you'll get over it. It may be hard, but look at how long you have left to live. Do you really think it's possible to be depressed for that long? No.
One thing that will work for sure: Don't think about being depressed. As long as you consider yourself depressed you will be. Sure it may not be easy, but it will work Yeah go see a comedian. Spend time with friends. Laugh at clowns for no reason :P
You can always try something that feels like you're putting your life on the line. Rock climbing or skydiving are some good examples. A good rush like that tends to take my mind off of any troubles I'm having.
I usually think that I'm lucky compared to other people around the world. People who don't have enough food to eat, people who never see their family, people who have incurable diseases. Then I get happier, looking at the bright side in life.
Then again thinking of these things might depress you further...
1. don't do the same routine (get up from bed then do this and that) 2. Is it just u self-depressed or someone else make u? i have my pretty lol depressed experience.
When i was 13, i have no friend, actually a make myself unfriendly, shy and not speak. I don't speak a single word for a whole day (even to my parents), i self-destruct myself.
it getting worse and worse, my childhood best friend go abroad. He come back 3 years later, when i was 16, i think to myself "U will get crazy if u stay like this".
So i 'evolve' myself, i do a lot of different things, try many new things (basket, piano, photography, guitar, karate, drugs(not recommended), sex, anime, become a jerk, a good friend(finally))
i found a few things, if u never try, u never know that u can do it (or even have more talent than ur friend), u can feel ur talent if u compare the improvement speed to your friend.
It always easier if u start make friend with someone, than wait them to make friend with u.
Everyone needs friend, some friends are jerk (told them u don't like their attitude, if they don't like it, just leave it). Real friend only arrives in certain 'harsh' and complicated condition.
OK, that's pretty lol of me.(I got depressed without anything hard happens to me) but yes u can still depressed (i try to suicide 2 times, but i'm too afraid haha). So i'm not surprised if someone get depressed easily without any reasons.
When i was depressed 3 years, i found myself lost in my brain, i can control my brain half, it's like another person live inside me (the depressed me) it's like dual personality or yes u can say craziness. I try to help some of my friend who have similar problems with me. U can help yourself faster than anyone else.
If u find someone using u, just dumped them, recently i dumped my 'good friend-he wants my money only', so i get more confidence of my life and keeps going up.
at least you don't have any serious illnesses at least you don't have any disabilities at least you don't have to do 3 projects for school in 1 day (me) >
