Answer 12

Hi---Coping with depression can be challenging. Depression makes it hard to engage in the behavior and activities that may help you feel better. Talk to your doctor or therapist about improving your coping skills, and consider these tips to cope with depression:

Simplify your life. Cut back on obligations when possible, and set reasonable schedules for goals.

Consider writing in a journal to express pain, anger, fear or other emotions.

Read reputable self-help books and consider talking about them to your doctor or therapist.

Don't become isolated. Try to participate in normal activities and get together with family or friends regularly.

Take care of yourself by eating a healthy diet and getting sufficient sleep.

Join a support group for people with depression so that you can connect to others facing similar challenges.

Stay focused on your goals. Recovery from depression is an ongoing process. Stay motivated by keeping your recovery goals in mind. Remind yourself that you're responsible for managing your illness and working toward your goals.

Learn relaxation and stress management. Try such stress reduction techniques as meditation, yoga or tai chi.

Structure your time. Plan your day and activities. Try to stay organized. You may find it helpful to make a list of daily tasks.

Don't make important decisions when you're in the depths of depression, since you may not be thinking clearly.

Answer 13

Self confidence and hope.These can be developed by believing in one's ability. Such a belief emerge when one expresses oneself, engages oneself with people, things, work around and get recognition, regard, appreciation from others. Getting connected is the best way to overcome the feelings of loneliness, isolation and hopelessness.

Try to focus upon positive things that invoke happy memories, feelings and thoughts.

Seek out the company of someone trustworthy and good counsel and snal yourself out of the bleak mood ...

Answer 15

Accept that it is what you are feeling, do a yoga practice or other form of exercise to calm your mind and body, go out and be with other people even volunteering to help with an organization that caters to people who are less fortunate in all matters.  I think accepting the sadness and depression is key.  If it becomes a clinical matter then a counselor can help.

Answer 16

Fight against it.

there are many things around you that can make you happy

Answer 17

Give it a few days, because often it is just a natural, but temporary feeling in hard times. In the meantime, eat right, get some exercise, and get out and have some fun!

If it lingers for more than a couple of weeks, however, it may well be the symptom of a much larger, biological problem. If you stay depressed for more than two weeks, I highly recommend that you see a doctor about it.

Good luck!

Answer 18
