Answer 17

               I could have asked the same question. The best way to get over depression is to get involved in the community and better yourself. The key is to stay busy and get into situations where you can meet positive people. Going to church is a good start. Volunteer for as much as you can when you have free time, apply for classes at a college, and get involved in a good job. Don't need a great paying job, just a job that you enjoy and around positive people.

               Another thing that I think works better than anything is exercising. When I jog in the morning it sets the tune for my day and definitely helps lower my stress levels big time. Plus it builds confidence and its always nice when you know your losing a few puonds here and there.

             I have depression problems just like you, so I know how you feel its a tough road. If you try all these things and still are having troubles I would recommend seeing a psychologist and possibly getting on medication. Good luck!
