I've been on a million meds for depression but nothing really works well. I hate anti-depressants they just made me feel numb. I still get depressed a lot but I realize it's a chemical imbalance and I don't play into it and think negative thoughts. If I can I like to exercise when depressed, Run or play racquetball. When I was young I was a fool and when I was depressed thought horrible thoughts that lead to being more depressed and that led to doing stupid things.

 

:stunned:

How good are you? Do you play like Sharapova?:rolleyes:

You're kidding))))I've been playing for 6 years but...I can say I'm playing ok, like a more or less usual amateur:baby: What about you?...

You are not a fool anymore, right?:thinking::thinking::)

I think sometimes all is needed is time and some alterations in life

You are not a fool anymore, right?

 

No, Instead of taking out my depression on myself I take it out on a racquetball.

Lucky you!:)

Hmm I'm the type of person that doesn't quite never knows why they are down but just feels it..

 

Hmm I normally go for a walk (fresh air)

work out

take a bath

read a book (to focus on other things)

sing

listening to music (although some music make you more sad than happy..you just gotta figure out which one makes you feel better in a way)

writing sometimes helps too

watch comedy like curb your enthusiasm! (never fails:D)

Nooo. nononononono.

What do you mean?:thinking:

 

You know. For depression.

doing something new, something you don't normally do that is good for you...

 

exercise, going out with friends, reading, writing... there are a lot of things, but when it's something you don't do often it's even better

 

You know. For depression.

Got you!But noo,my aim is an opposite thing;)

I agree...listening to music is a good way to pull yourself out of a funk.

 

There is one song in particular that I just laugh and laugh at and it makes me feel better for some reason and that's Tangerine Speedo by Caviar.

Music works for me and if everything else fails then i try the magic pill.

I was really really down last sunday....so parents cheered me up just with a few words...and it helped...last week was a good week...maybe because I expected the worst...:D

 

my usual method is to listen to music and to cry to music...that helps me somehow

I hate feeling lonely...:cry:
