Question

How to retain confidence when you are sad or deppressed?

Answer 1

..... thinking of brighter day that lies ahead.

Answer 2

For me, sleep helps, since sleep refreshs your mind. Also, try to do things you are good at. Keep telling yourself "Be optimistic!" like a mantra, just keeping saying it and saying it and saying it and saying it and........saying it!

Also, go take a walk in place rich in natural wildness. Nature makes people humble and forget their problems. It works for me.  

Answer 3

say positive things about the situation out-loud

it works

:)

step outside yourself, put on the aire of confidence long enough to do what you need to do

By having a quick nap. Incase, your not in a position to, you can keep on telling this to yourself in your mind - "I'm the best". Then say it even louder - "I'm the Best". "I'M THE BEST".

Trust me, it sounds silly but it works wonders. The thought that it sounds silly will make you laugh, thus it will momentarily make you forget the sadness :-)
