While I'm feeling depressed I would listen to up beating music and I tend to draw or read a book. I usually try my best to get over it :qwhee:

I read. That is, I read more than usual.
I spend more time on the internet.
I play tons and tons of video games (because killing pixelated baddies is somehow soothing).
I play with my cat/s.
I write letters. Sometimes the letter is to no one, sometimes to whomever upset me most recently... but they're never read by anyone but myself.
I treat myself to something outrageous, luxurious, or both.
I do everything and anything I can to get my mind off it.

@ Extinction: Actually, that's not entirely true. Exercise does release endorphins, which do improve peoples' moods; however it is NOT an easy fix. My dad has bugged me for most of my life to get involved in physical activities because I've always been an emotional person (which, of course, means that my extreme lows can be just as intense as my extreme highs). I agree that being active is important in getting out of a rut, or something similar, but people with depression, mild or otherwise, need to do more than just that.

I search on the internet for other people who might understand me. :mcheh: So... I found this old thread an wake it up.

It is pretty hard to deal with depression. Not alone the times you cry and cry and cry, also, in my case, the listlessness. When I am really depressed, nothing is working. Call a friend, read a book even watching favourite shows or films isn't helping. So I end up doing nothing and sleep. But that is not satisfying - for me.
A few years ago I started writing. Then I joined animexx and even wrote fanfiction. But in the end it didn't work out because I got perfectionistic and writing lost it's pleasure.
Unfortunately I tend to eat to much when I am depressed. Now I am overweight - and that is depressing me further. Vicious cycle.

I am on medication and next week begins my rehab. Who knows what will happen after that? But I am stubborn. And this is helping because I fail to see the point in capitulating.

What really helped me whenever I felt depressed was doing a lot of stuff. Keeping busy with your hobbies or school or whatever can be really helpful, because if you don't have a lot of free time then you won't think about your depression too much and you won't have a lot of time for your sad thoughts.
Also, sleep is a nice way to avoid feeling like shit but ofc it's temporary... You can't really sleep forever so the first option is a bit better I guess.

Currently dealing with a steady level 8/10 depression, been dealing with this depression for over 2 years now, and it's been fairly stable at this level for a little over half a year.

I try to go along with life as good as I can, take my time with tasks, and don't plane too much in a day/week.

In the end it's just a case of sitting it out and trying not to let it win.

It's a battle I am planning to be victorious in. :}

Foxes are clever, perceptive, and shrewd. You're happiest working behind the scenes, pulling strings and watching others dance to your imperceptible tune. Independent yet highly social, you glide among your circles of acquaintance with ease, sharing your sharp wit or a delicious piece of gossip.
