What do you do when you're depressed to try and feel better?

[Anonymous]

If you're in the blackest depths, with no energy to go out or talk to people, and are desperate to feel better, what do you do?

Sometimes... I come on here to ask for some help or advice or.. I just recently found a website where you can talk 1-1 with a councillor for free and that helped. Other times, I write stuff down as if I was writing to myself about what's getting me down. throw away the piece of paper and write down all the solutions to fix those problems. Feel free to inbox me dude. I'm young compared to you but I know how that feels.

There are other quick solutions where I distract myself with a story on a game or talk to my friends who are always on the ps4, but they're only temporary solutions

I try to make other people feel even worse. That always lifts my spirits

Just let yourself feel bad, don't hide from it. 😢 Have some alone time to breath and reflect on why you feel this way. I like to watch sad videos to make myself cry... and after doing that I usually feel a bit better, and I'll go watch happy videos instead. I try to force myself little by little - play a game you like? Play with a pet? And eventually I feel good enough to go outside for a walk. :) I think being outside is a good way to treat depression.

I like writing it out.. I feel it helps. My thoughts and emotions.

Dance to music or turn my music all the way up.
