Hello Friends,

Dos; talk to friends, take a walk, do creative things, work out and be outside of home as  much as possible. Donts; watch too much tv, go shopping, be alone, over annalize small things. Worst case medication helps but take it as last resort and double check if insurance covers it as well.

Thank you Pixie.

I think, it is because of the some type of specific situation. When there is not much change in situation and think that it is taking a long time to change that situation, that will worse the situation. But many things didn't chabe fast, so people are long term low situation. Every one had these types of situation, ya but every time they are painful and difficult. So, only thing is to have patience and wait for the change. But some changes are worse than before, so, that makes situation more difficult again. Probably, you understand what I am trying to say. But having better sleep, thinking really positive and atleast explore internet and try to watch some funny things will just help little bit. The thing is someone had to understand what it is bugging but still many times you know what is making you low but you can't do anything except looking or wait for the right time.

What is the cause of your depression?

Try Lexapro for a while if it works..if depressive thoughts are not constant its just ups and downs of life, but if you feel persistently low, take some medication, its just like as if you have fever you'll take some tylenol and once the fever is relieved you'll discontinue it,

Thanks everyone for your replies.

When you feel low....listen to the BEATLES....yay!! :)

I think the best option would be to spend time with friends, talk to friends and family members. Some times home sick is another factor. The best option would be to find the reason behind it. It can be job, finance, love and much more. Do yoga. Go to youtube and look for ramdev or anyother person's yoga teaching. Just sit on yoga position and close your eyes so badly and when you will see real dark at the same time you will feel fright. think of your very good moments back home. For me I had so many great incidents like visit to chitwan national park, Darjeeling, Sikkim, Delhi, hariyana, Assam, Mizoram, mukti nath, annapurna reagin, pokhara, jomsom, ghore pani, tato pani along other part of our country. Moments with your friends and family. I think of those areas and the moment I spent there and I really feel relax and excited.

Just be on this position for about 15,20 minutes and see how easy and realx you feel.

If its going beyoung your control please consult the doctor.

There are different way of controlling your mind and this is what I do and try to be happy. my $0.2.

Meditate... i.e. oberve your body and mind. Observe yourself just like you are watching other person who is depressed... what kind of thoughts come in mind and how it affects your body? how it changes? how long does it last? just observe like a scientist without identifying yourself.

Soon you will find the root cause..which is desire. when your desire doen't get fulfilled.. when things get worse.. when unexpected happens..  depression arises.  It is not just you. It is natural.. law of nature applies to all. So, instead of thinking about it, just observe it and come out of it. sooner the better.

If you have free time go for a 10-day vipassana retreat.. its worldwide.. it's free. It helps.

Guchha chor

Sometimes, the weather can also make you depressed. For me, I am in the middlewest and whenever snow falls and days become gloomy, I get very depressed. So stay out of such place and stay where there is plenty of light. If you are depressed, avoid yourself from black objects.

Sex is a good option too but if you dont have a girl I guess jack off would work too, i am not sure though

I dont think meditation works. Best solution to boost your feelings is EXERCISE. Whatever you can - aerobic. Threadmill, soccer, pushups or whatever.. do it. Dring enough water, sleep in time, sleep deprivation is also a major cause of depression. Never live alone.

In severe case,  try medication. But medicines does not work all the times, it can be considered as last resort.

I get high.

When i get low i drink, it dose not help though.

hahaha ( i dont want to make u more depressed but it sounds funny to me)..

My thoughts for you GC: Find the reason for you being depressed. Everything has a reason and depression cannot be cured. Medications are just temporary. Dont take medications coz u may be used to it. It does no good at the end. So, every cause has a reason. Find it, solve it. And if u really don't know the reason, u are actually not in depression...enjoy ur depression (haha).

when I go low I usually go high.
