How do you deal with being sad?

Question

well the thing is i been depressed about things often and i was just wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to deal with depression?

Answer 1

Sorry you're feeling down.   I usually try to escape by watching a movie or reading a book.  Go out with friends, someone with a great sense of humor so it will help get your mind off your troubles..  

Answer 2

just listen to music, take a nap, get distracted and FUHGETT ABOUT IT !!

Answer 3

listen to music, chill out, get more sleep, eat healthy, exercise

Answer 4

When I find myself depressed, I first identify specifically what it is I am sad about, then I make sure to tell myself that it will pass, as it usually does.  If I don't tell myself that, I just end up in this rut where sadness over one thing spurs all over depression.

Answer 5

I try to get myself out of the house and this usually helps a lot.

The trouble is ,  it is hard to get yourself out when you are feeling low.

I am really depressed right now and just getting on here takes my mind off it by reading others troubles and trying to help.

Answer 6

take a shot of some tequilla and forget about it :)

Answer 7

just live for today, life is too short
