What do you do when you are depressed?

What's your favorite method of fighting depression?

[Levin]

Well, personally, I don't think fighting depression is the right way to look at it.

There are probably always, deeper reasons behind it. Happenings in your life and stuff that has gone on in the past that has given an overwhelming sense of hopelessness. This sense of hopelessness needs looks at and tackling. Your beliefs are ultimately shaping what you're experiencing.

And of course, contained within that, will be some challenging of perceptions and working on willpower. And as other people have mentioned, good habits. Getting out in nature. Going for early morning walks, walking at least twice per day. Exercise. Watching what you eat. etc.

Cardio, word puzzles, cleaning, shower, nap. Gotta have a full tool box of methods to keep the darkness at bay!!

First I take a step back and focus on my health. Am I eating healthy? Am I exercising and drinking enough water? Sleeping enough?

Those three things alone can impact how you feel mentally. If I'm doing all of those things and still feel depressed I talk to my doctor about it and try some therapy.

I don’t really get as far as depressed. I’d say sad and always for reason.

I typically like to get myself active and workout.

I eat so many carbs & I workout until my body hurts & then I wake up & do the same over & over again. Pushing myself just hard enough to not fully recovery but not so hard that I injure myself.

Getting depressed about challenges is normal. Depression is not. If you have Depression go seek help from professionals.

Nothing. I do not allow myself to be depressed. Simple as that.
