What do you do when depressed?

[the block]

Was thinking about what people do to make themselves feel better when they are a bit down

I like to:

hit the weights/bjj/muay thai

go for a long drive

go for a walk in the countryside (fat chance at the moment given the weather)

eat ice cream and junk and watch a movie

browse IC refreshing every 30 seconds hoping somebody posts in my journal :016:

read / listen to some Qur'an

Not really the depressed sort... tend to just stuff my face and go to sleep.

[Beaker]

I don't get depressed as such, just fed up and bored. I think about my travel plans and the day when I hand in my notice at work brings a nice smile across my face.
A few beers also helps cheer me up too !!

Go to the gym.

Read.

Listen to music.

Watch a film.

I'm terrible for the beer blues, always find doing an activity is best-love the adrenaline hit after a good weights sesh.

I’m not someone who gets depressed much, and I think training 4 times a week probably helps. I remember the time when I couldn’t train for 2 months after having surgery on my eye, and feeling very depressed as a result. Not just because I wasn’t getting the benefits from exercising, but also because I was addicted to lifting (Still am) and was desperate to train but couldn’t.
I wouldn’t say I train to make myself feel better when I’m down though. I train because I enjoy it.

Don't get depressed as have a easy going attitude and the way I look at life is no matter how bad it is it could be lot worse but to unwind I like spending time with family and hitting the gym.

Also I spend time with my own thoughts without any distractions at some point through the day everyday which helps keep my mind clear and focused

I like to do lots of little things throughout my day to piss other people off. Hey, works for me...

[Humph]

^^^ LMAO. I think how shit some people really have it and tell myself to stop whinging like a fag.

I get down when I dont fell im making progress, so I set some goals and atke some steps to meet them.

[van_halen]

Gym is normally a good one. Or food. Or beer!

[Vinny]

Like you guys I don’t get depressed. Despite being the target of Narc’s insults lol.

If I didn’t lift like MecDomorph said then maybe I would. I think if you keep an active lifestyle you shouldn’t have time for depression.

Unfortunately I wasn’t born with much sympathy or compassion, if anyone mentions there on happy pills or starts talking about depression my answer always runs along the line of ‘Sort your ****ing life out, you winging ****’ followed by a slap. Should have been a social worker, my girlfriend who is a social worker doesn’t agree :017: :038:
