when you're depressed what makes you feel better:

[bluegrey]

Being with a friend.

Fixing something on the house's to- do list.

Running, bicycling.

 

[yous]

Nothing. Just waiting it out I guess. I don't have any friends or family who understands so I just try my best to live it.

strangely enough, writing a post in the members diary helps me loads, so does this forum. it's not depression it's more anxiety for me. i don't get depressed for long now too much tho'. that and my own great personal resources :cool:

 

[ASkylitDrive]

Being with Angie and Harry.. Its helping right now.

 

[yous]

Where is the members' diary? I want a place where I can vent and cry.

go to the main page, under "let it out" you'll see two sub forums.

My down moods (like right now) are pretty down so not much really cheers me up when I feel like that. The thing that keeps me alive through it is usually reminding myself that I don't want to cause my sis any unnecessary pain so I stay for her.

It's really just luck. I feel better when I feel better :I.

Definetely meeting with my friends. If there's no one around, playing with my dogs helps.

 

[NeedKIDhoodback]

My dog.

But he's 'cute', soo that may not last forever...and, in my mind, anything 'cute' can't be very good at all....:mortd:

Exercising and other activities that I enjoy doing for hours on end.

 

[Cajin32]

I would say for short term music,anime,sex,and exercise. For the long term talking to friends, and work.

 

[Matrias]

Weed and gaming, however after being a gaming addict for a long time, ive started losing all interest in it due to depression i guess..

Things that make me feel better: listening to music, watching my favourite films, going for long walks, reading a good book.

Things that make me feel life is totally worth living: going on adventures with my sister, helping my mother about the house, hanging with my friends, having debates with my father, helping my grandpa in his garden, and my grandma's home-baked rhubarb pie Basically...being with the people who matter to me.

And the therapy and anti-depressants don't hurt

Travel helps. Even if it's on the cheap. Works for me as well in a $49 Red Roof Inn as a suite.

The last time I was really sad.. I had an argument with my parents and the house was too tense, I had to leave. I went to the pub and had a drink on my own but they were closing up because it was late. I didn't know where to go at first so I just walked. I ended up at the park I used to go to as a kid..

So at midnight I'm here in this park sitting on the swings and swinging my heart out with my headphones in and some mellow music playing.. It was the happiest I've been for as long as I can remember.. I don't even know why but it made me feel so good I can't even describe it.. I was there until 2am just listening to music as loud as it would go and swinging away in the moonlight, it was truly incredible.

I wish I could go back but I moved away now.

I came into this post late. When I get too bad, I tie flys for fishing, reload ammo for shooting then, I go fishing and hunting. I can stand in a river for hours and not catch a thing.....its ok. I could be in my hunting stand for a day, not see a thing.....its ok. Solitude and a busy mind.

 

[KittyGirl]

not a hell of alot.
I'm fairly neutral no matter what activities I attempt to take part in.

 

[Pebble]

driving as fast as I can around the country lanes
