how do I get out of my depression?

[Eric S]

Depression must be acknowledged to be effectively treated. Like alcoholism, the person must admit that they are depressed. Depression is treated with medication and psychotherapy, which is counseling. If you know or suspect anyone to be suffering with clinical depression, don't hesitate. Get them the appropriate help needed. More and more people, especially adolescents are commiting suicide because of this ugly monster

Well, the best thing to do is go thru it. There is no way out. If you choose to 'get out' it really means ur surpressing your feelings. The best thing to do is face it, tho it hurts, but always noe this... tat it can be better and no problem is too hard to 'get out' of. If it is really bad, try seeking treatment. If you're feeling down, lonely, jus not in the mood for anything... refocus... tink about the priorities of life... and straighten up.. u shud share with a fren who can encourage you... encouragement is the best thing for you now.So cheer up and be encouraged. There is more to life than your misery right not. See the best in everything. Try not to tink about urself... and tink of others more. Tho it seems crazy but yeh it will help. Love yourself, feel good about yourself, you are an individual, dont compare yourself with anyone else. Enjoy ur time on earth, love life and yeh.... enjoy it to the fullest.. tho it seems there is nothing to enjoy about... see the best in everything. Your perspective will change.God bless and i will keep you in my prayers :D

Simplest solutions:ExcerciseDo more things you enjoy doingEat a healthy diet, and get enough sleepIf all else fails see your family physician. Remember, even if depression does not drive you to suicide, it does impact your quality of life, and possibly your prodcutivity at work and your income.

If you need forgiveness. Forgive yourself. Your only human and no one is perfect. You deserve forgiveness if you are feeling bad about something. You need loving support around you. You may be lacking in important vitamins and minerals or proteins. You may have an unoticable medical condition. I prayed and read Psalms out of the bible for like 6 months straight one time before I finally came out of a depression. I'm beginning to think we're being poisioned by something for depression to be so prevelant now a days. In our food or the air. I'm beginning to think that maybe my smoking has a great deal to do with my depression. But I won't know that until I quit smoking.
