I ignore it and go about my life as usual. It takes effort because I really have to force myself to carry on as normal, and I'm pretty sure that pushing it all aside really isn't good for me, but I absolutely despise talking about my issues with people, so it's the only way I can really deal with it.
If I can't remedy what's making me depressed, I do this.

Ask myself what the hell is wrong with me, remind myself it's not me that's sad, just fluids, glands and, chemicals making me feel that way, slap myself and listen to some music...or play some video games. Depression can't stand up to my ironclad logic and, neglect.

Well honeslty I wouldn't really know what qualifies as a depresion, but when I get very blue, I go for runs. Really helps me clear my head and reboot my feelings. Other than that, I play music.

Btw, does anyone else just hate it when your'e just sitting there thinking about things, maybe a little down, and someone randomly goes "Oh, cheer up". For some reason I just hate that, like they know better about my life than me.

Doing what I love, which is staying up all night playing games, watching anime, reading manga and posting in forums. Also eating lots of sweets, get lost in a Reeses (or any food you like), take a bite and just let the flavor dissolve on your tongue and let it relax you.

I play Fallout 3 and wander about Megaton, listening to everybody gush about how awesome I am.

Then I come here and mellow out with a few posts here and there.

And then food. Sugary, caloric food.

i listen to Baba O'riley by The Who. About 45secs will go and then i forget whatever was troubling me.

For instance, i was once on the virge of tears(i dont remember why) but when the first line of lyrics started i was smiling.

All the usual stuff isn't working for me anymore. I used to be able to go on my PC and dissappear into the internet for hours, having some form of conversation with someone...anyone and that made me feel better. Alongside music or movies or other such things.

Now, with just a netbook which we got for free (where the internet seems to cut out every 10 minutes or so) and unable to afford a new pc/laptop my escape is lost, so I realise just how lonely I am.

Yeah yeah man up and all that, shit that's what I usually say to myself but this is just getting insane. Life passes by at such speed you miss it, yet in your own world things remain stagnant, before you know it a year has passed and not a damn thing is different. Weeks or even months pass without contact with my "friends" and even then all we do is go out and get drunk for a few hours before parting ways again. I could try getting more friends but I find it impossible to talk to people without being drunk.

So at this point I'm just getting angrier and angrier at myself and my family. At least I have my job, as much as I hate it if I didn't go to work the only human contact I'd have for 28 out of 30/31 days in a month would be my bloody mother and brother.

I wouldn't even say I feel depressed, just trapped and alone and it's been going on so long virtually nothing works anymore, and tbh I'd really rather not go back to drinking a bottle of Vodka a night again (it felt better at the time but looking back boy were they some shit times).

Apologies for the rant but this looked like a good thread to do it in and I'd say it's somewhat relevant to the topic at hand.

Friends all the way.

if that fails, I just do something to get my mind out of it.
gaming, reading, 5 million other personal options.

Watching some stand-up comedy, hanging out with my friends, smoking a bowl. Preferably all at the same time.

Generally I do something stupid.

Seriously. It works too.

Oh, you want something more specific than that? I do something really stupid. Like join the army or quit my job or use all my vacation time to go meet some chick from Kansas that I met online or I dunno, something stupid like that. It leaves me with no choice but to get off my ass and get my life sorted back out again, which is the part that actually cures my depression I think.

I mean sure, it's nice to say that exercise or whatever will help with depression, and it's absolutely true, but I don't give a shit about little things like that while I'm depressed. I'll know what to do and just not do it. It takes something huge to pull me out of that, and so what I have to do is something colossally stupid. Then I'm okay.
