I go play the blues.
It makes everything better.

Get on a space hopper, go cow tipping, read a comic book, go for a swim (if you can't swim - don't go swimming) and fart in a room with a strong echo.

i think i love you
only for your brilliant avatar though
Anyhooo i like to sit and play gutair for about 3 hours when im depressed.

Why thank you, I aim to please!.

Buy a lava lamp. Or, get a blanket, set it down outside and just lie there, staring up at the night sky.

Not sure about the lava lamp part. A friend of mine once commented that the wax, during it's initial melting stages, looks like a foetal abortion in process. Ever since then lava lamps are like clowns to me; amusing but terrifying at the same time.

I've tried a lot of different things but nothing has really worked that well. Thanks for the ideas though guys.

Cigarettes & alcohol

Watch a lot of comedy

A lot of comedy

Seconded. Anything MST3K or Rifftrax related are great choices.

 

[Trifixion]

Also agreed on comedy, definitely agree on MST3K/Rifftrax.

Or plug one of my guitars into my Fender Cybertwin amp, crank the gain way up, and play a ton of Slayer riffs until either the depression is burned out or the neighbors call the police to complain about the noise.

Talk to some mates about something or other. Go for a few drinks with them. Something with other people, that always helps.

I've been depressed lately and I wanna know what you guys at the escapist do to get out of these kind of slumps. And it's just an overall depressed not specifically about something.

I think about how utterly insignificant I am in the eyes of the cosmos. Makes everything in life seem unimportant and allows me to get along unhindered.

That sounds kinda depressing actually.

Eat a banana or chocolate,they release some kind of happy vibe in your brain.
A purring cat puts you in a good mood too.

To me, it lets me see how things aren't really a big deal. I don't take myself as serious then.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Annoying everyone I know, and those I don't even more. It's very satisfying. Especially in this weather; whenever I see someone fall over, I point and laugh, then hide.

 

[Jedoro]

Cake. Preferably ice cream cake.

[small]Earth, seen from 6 billion kilometres away[/small]​

Look again at that dot. That's here, that's home, that's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there ? on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.

Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.

It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.

Does that help matters?.

[Queen Michael]

Manga-reading and nail polish-putting on is my solution.

 

[Et3rnalLegend64]

Hugs help a lot!
*hugs*

Yes, hugs are amazing. That, and ice cream.

 

[Iconoclasm]

Go the Fermi way - dive into studying physics to avoid the pain you feel. In 20 years you'll be famous, and everyone will love you for your work and maybe a nobel prize or something.

Buy a banjo and learn how to play it.

Banjos rule.

 

[Pegghead]

Drown your sorrows in videogames. Works a charm!
