    Guitar Hero, extra video games. Last time I was depressed I just attempted to magnify my home activities a bit more and it worked for me. Just lay of some of the school to show that something is wrong with you, talk to counselors, rehabilitate yourself, and there. Back to normal! Now go back to school you lazy-o ... :( ...
     
    I'll read my favorite astronomy book or if it's nightime I'll use my telescope. If you too much knowledge coming in my head, I get over it. Or I'll talk to my cactus(silly right?).

    Me technique is through music. Whenever I start to feel down, I just put a CD in the player and turn the volume up, or I write. Then again, that's me. Everyone's got different techniques.

    Its winter break and my counsellors never help,besides I got depressed recently over something serious and its not easy for me when a certain some1 reminds me, I'd blast music in my room but ppl r sleeping here.
     
    Wow, that's tough :/. But as I said. Focus more on personal time, focuson completeting that video game, watch some Smosh Videos, That Guy with the Glasses, something on the internet that excludes hentai, please.
     
    I find it too hard, the things that person said was too hurtful. (Hes a member here)
     
    I talk to my good mates, or eat some cherry pie. I sometimes listen to Inu Yasha ending themes XD
     
    Play videogames, talk to my friends, read a book, etc.

    Just the usual stuff which keeps me happy comes in handy.
     
    I tend to have three options incase I ever get depressed:

    A. Read-I read my favorite comic books and see if they make me laugh. If they do my depression is gone but if they don't I go to plan B.

    B. Play games- There's a lot of games I haven't bothered finishing and they tend to have pretty good endings so that can sometimes cure my depression. If that doesn't work I move on to Plan C.

    C. Sleep-The next day I feel much better for some odd reason.


    I rarely get depressed so I rarely use any of those options (Especially C, since that's like my last resort for depression).
     
    I do get pretty depressed. I've had times during the night where I don't want to go to bed. It's like I don't want to do anything but sit there and wonder why I feel this way. It's so overwhelming.

    I've also got Mild autism, ADHD, Moderate to severe anxiety/social phobia, and a learning disability. Sometimes those tend to control my emotions and then my emotions cause me to explode. D:

    I do like to watch Inuyasha when I am upset. Other times I'll just watch something that makes me laugh or write a story. It helps get my mind off of things when I do something else.

    I also love playing anything that would get me to forgot whatever my troubles are. XD
     
    I don't get depressed that much or maybe I do and I just don't call that depression^^; Who would know?XD
    Anyway, I think that the best cure for depression is talk. So because you seem really hurt by what that friend of yours said, talk to somebody about it - your other friends or family. Even better, maybe you could talk to this guy who offended you. Maybe he didn't mean it. But if you know that he was serious and you aren't ready to forgive him, really talk to someobody else about it. After that just occupy yourself with other things and try not to dwell on it to much. Life is to precious for that sort of thing, even if at times it doesn't seem like it
     
    Apperently there is this thing called "seretene" in turkey and it boots up some chemical in your mind too make the depression go away. If i dont have turkey i listen to secondhand serenade. And after like a hour of listening to them i say "Screw this emo band!" And go out side.
     
    Music always relieves feeling a bit down. Just gotta find the right song.

    Some of my friends had it worse
    Some were better off than me
    All the same somehow we are
    Looking for our sanity
    I'm thankful to be alive
    I'm so lucky I can be
    Anywhere at anytime
    No-one to blame now but me
    When I come crashing down

    - Lyrics by Tony Harnell, from TNT's Crashing Down, Transistor 1999

    TBH a lot of things aren't worth getting depressed about because there's always someone out there who's got it far worse than you ever will. I'm a privileged person. Sometimes things don't go my way and I might not get what I want or I lose a girlfriend etc etc. None of it's that bad.

    Some things ARE bad, granted. Loss of a loved one, illness. Sometimes you just feel alone and cut off and that can bring you down. Everyone's entitled to feel down at some point. It's how you deal with it that counts.

    You can dwell on things, or respond positively. I genuinely believe that that is a choice you can make. You can take on the mindset that will get you through. It's almost like choosing to be happy. I make it sound simple; and sometimes it's as easy as you make it. Easier for some than others, granted. I give some people this advice when they've had another break up or if their parents have had a fight or they say they have no friends and they really don't want to hear it because they think they're going to feel crap forever, and that's the kind of attitude that frustrates me (because it's the antithesis of myself and maybe I should respect that some people aren't the same as me). But when you reflect on a lot of things that make you feel bad in day to day life, they're not as bad as they seem at first, and responding positively will often yield a positive result and relieve the problem.

    I'm getting philosophical here, so I'll share my metaphor for life:

    Life's like a mountain that you climb every day, and you've got to reach the top. However, sometimes you'll come to a challenging vertical face that seems impossible to climb. You can either give up and go to rock bottom, or you can work at it, find a foothold and work your way over, or find another path around, maybe alone or with the help of a fellow climber. Either way, there's a way over every obstacle if you're willing to try. And it's worth it, because once you reach the top of this mountain, it's a damn good view.

    So that's how I deal with feeling depressed or down. Stick it out, there's a way over anything.
