What do you do when you're depressed?

[№¹³]

Whenever I feel depressed, I think it's always good to talk to someone about it. There always seems to be someone for me that understands me, and I can just talk with them, and eventually, I start to feel a bit better. Laughter is also important to me. I think I have to laugh a few times to just get the depression out of me. What about you?

[WBJ]

im usually depressed on a lot of things. such as my future, school and things like that. what i do is i go outside and just stare at the sky and just worry about nothing. i also try not to think because i think a lot so this technique is good for me.

[Slayerfan]

I sleep on it or play video games and listen to music, talking about your problems to people just leads to too many questions like, "Why?", "How come?", and "What can we/you do to make yourself feel better?". Or you get the "That's life for ya buddy." from some people.

[kurin]

i listen to music, just blare it while laying on my bed crying, it help alot and makes me think better.

[Gjallarhorn]

say "[0_0] it" and get on with my life.....

[Taikyo]

well..when i get depress, i just play a game ( fighting game highly recommended ), or draw. It useually works. Also to make me feel more happy, I listen to the rite typr of music, with the rite mood.

[Capernicus]

Laughter works for me too!

[Alchemy]

I normally find someone to talk to as well...Or I write, writing is my escape for almost everything. That's probably why I have a pen permanently attached to my hands.

Laughing is such a good release. Just finding something completely random to laugh about usually helps me. I'm lucky I have so many people I can trust...

[EIENNI]

I punch walls build things what ever comes to mind.

[LizaLiza]

When I'm depressed, it's usually when I get picked on about my looks or even just my opinions on things. So I will lock myself in my room for about four hours and cry till I sleep. Then once I wake up, I get over it fastly. After a month or so I will talk about it to close friends on here. This is when I actually feel confident on talking to someone...

[kaisen]

Hmm... when I get depressed, I usually juz lock myself in my room, turn on the radio and turn the volume to the highest level... Then I'll play games the whole day until I go to sleep...

[Wonderwice]

When I'm depressed, it's usually when I get picked on about my looks or even just my opinions on things. So I will lock myself in my room for about four hours and cry till I sleep. Then once I wake up, I get over it fastly. After a month or so I will talk about it to close friends on here. This is when I actually feel confident on talking to someone...hmm..same here

[Chibi Misao]

i usually just go to sleep hoping to forget that depressing thing, or i just turn up the radio volume to the max and try to annoy other ppl *yes i like to annoy ppl when im depressed*

[stigmatize]

I listen to music or just daydream it away. I'll even go on a chocolate binge. Very unhealthy, i know. But it works (for one minute and you feel guilty the next. O_o)

[Panda-In-A-Box]

Ii'm not often depressed but if i am, i usually listen to music or play something om my guitar, it calms my mind a bit and when i calmed down i try to solve the problems...
drawing help's a lot too....
i guess the fact that i have my friends to talk to helps a lot too.... yeah, props to my friends ^^

[Eva®]

uhhmm,.. First I go looking at a lake (or something.. as long it's water and outdoors.. but no swimmingpools etc. just nature water you know *wink* ) because it's restful. Then I start to think about what happend and how I can deal with it , after that I wipe away all my tears take a deep breath, stand up and go on with my life.

[Limitus]

I usually hear some heavy metal and play an agressive computer-game!

Not everyones thing, but i like it...

[DarkPrinceBman]

Smoke and Cut thats it really

[MistaCloudStrife]

I dont get depressed easily but... When i am... I prolly just listen to music... Techno is the best for that kinda stuff... Gets me pumped and forget about all the bad stuff.. Either that or like... eurobeats.. Like Initial D music...

Gonna get you! Like a spaceboy!

LOL! Initial D lyrics are just so funny... Its hard to feel depressed hearing,

"every night you light me with your gasoline
everytime i feel delight when you recall my name
so you can be my shining star tonite
I'm not alone with all your love
fly across the sky
you will be mine
i can feel your dream with you BABE"

LOL! Love those lyrics... XD

[Deathbyspartan]

well i sit at a computer screen and talk till i get happy or just let it get out of my system

[Eris]

I go outside, get some light, mainly because most of my depressions are light related; living so far north as i do has it's downsides - the winters are very dark, so dark it's almost impossible to get the levels of sunlight you require (yes require, sunlight deprivation is known to cause depression).

[Marie2007]

i usually keep to myself and think about my boyfriend,family, and my friends but i also sometimes write stuff down.

[Junior]

When I'm depressed, i just listen to my CD player, and stare at the celing in my room. It works most of the time, but only if you have the right music, you don't want to stare at the celing thinking about how bad your life is while listening to the macarenia, sort of kills the mood. If that doesn't work, I go on the internet and talk about it to someone on a buddy list.

[Myrra]

Smoke and Cut thats it reallyBeen there and done that!
Used to cut to ease the pain (not a good thing to do)
Used to smoke and run (great combo)
Used to drink--not a lot, but enough(not anymore, alcoholism runs in the family and I'm not going down that road)
used to self-medicate...don't do that anymore either, I don't really want to die
Now I just journal, write poetry, listen to music and exercise (usually a game of tennis)

[Yojimbo51]

If I get depressed, I blare some music and take an aluminum baseball bat to a punching bag. It's top-notch therapy.

[Sweet Lucidity]

i would either blare music, sleep, eat ice cream and fluff, or nothing. if my mom notices something she will send me off to the phcitrist

[Nullpunkt]

Many times I smoke and either a) discuss things with someone or b) think things over. Usually I get into such a deep philosophical mood I no longer feel depressed.

Then again, sometimes I just play MMZ 3 or FF VII for several hours straight.

Zero

[Anime Lover**]

........i go outside where no one is and explore then i climb a tree and sit there looking at the sky till about 1 in the morning then i come back and stay in my room listening to music.

[ShizukaSasayaki]

Depends where I am. If I'm in public and among people I just suck it up and pretend nothing's wrong. It always works. If I'm at home, I turn up the volume on what I normally listen to and just cry until I somehow feel better.

[sanokidsasuke]

I usually bottle it all up inside so that the people who are close to me don't get worried or anything. It puts me into a deep wandering sort of mood, where I just walk and walk and walk around and hope it's cloudy and then it usually is cloudy so then I get somewhat happy again but I only want to wander around more either alone or with the person that is closest to me. And I daydream A LOT too

[Wandering Samurai]

I usally bottle up my emotions and practice my martial arts. I know it's not healthy but it works for me.

[VARLY]

i will re-call what happened, then think n consider about why i'm getting depressed. then i will find someway to resolve the probs that keep getting in the way n make me depressed [well, finally, recover by self. if really in need of advice or i just can't find any appropriate way to deal, n the probs serious, i will hv d right ppl to give some advice or opinion]. i usually fine by that way; doing some hobbies help out alot, too ^^

[Deamon_Slayer666]

when im depressed i listen to music and seclude myself from the world

[sanokidsasuke]

When im depressed, which isnt very often anymore, thinking about what happened or what is happening only makes it much worse, cause there are only a few things that can depress me now, and they would be really serious things that I would probably never be able to put behind me.

[№¹³]

Many thanks to all who've posted on my thread so far. Also, if I get any more posts, thank you as well.

[Deathbyspartan]

well i bottle mine up aswell but then when your bottle is reached i wonder what i am doing with my life and how hate it but i have not felt like that for months

[Gizoku]

hmm draw....and listent to music, play video games....sleep, thats about it.

[Tragedy]

i cut,
somethime try and kill myself...
hurt others...
any thing with pain

[Mutsumi Anami]

What I usually do is just shut the door of my room and cry...but when I'm not at home maybe I just go out from where I am and look at the sky and relax...calm down.
Sometimes I just listen to music and don't think of anything.That happens to me often....

[Strawberries-N-Cream]

when i'm depressed i go somewhere alone and cry. until i drift off to sleep and wake up feeling much better. but sometimes that doesn't always work for me.

[Dyne]

Watch some comedy shows....or play some video games. That usually helps me when I am down in the slumps

[sanokidsasuke]

I don't know how Im getting mysteriously depressed right now but nothing I do means anything, so I just wander......hoping for rain, heavy rain and dark skies, with wind a thunder, so i can just wander.....nothing means anything. So I start seeing strange things.........i know what it is now........im so stupid....nvm no I dont

[Darkasiangurl]

When I'm depressed I usually clean up and dont talk to anybody for the day .Then if that doesnt make me feel better than I would more than likely go to sleep.....

[Dyne]

I don't know how Im getting mysteriously depressed right now but nothing I do means anything, so I just wander......hoping for rain, heavy rain and dark skies, with wind a thunder, so i can just wander.....nothing means anything.

[heartless love]

I put on some music, punch the hell out of a sleeping bag and then write something

[Đita]

Hmm when im depressed i listen to music or just go to sleep. V.V

[Koga_Inuyasha]

I sit in my room :computer :cill: :groupwave:

[Alice_Fallen_Cloud]

These days it seems to me that most people are depressed a great deal of the time, its good to see someone who doesn't let it keep them down

[VRini87]

I usually eat or read something. I dont know, reading always make me happy.

:)

[Dyne]

These days it seems to me that most people are depressed a great deal of the time, its good to see someone who doesn't let it keep them down
I'll admit that I used to be a depressed person. But that was really brought on because of a Chemical Imbalanced I had cuz my doctor mis-diagnosed me. I'm over that now, so thats good!

[MingUe]

Talk to my best friend, he always makes me feel peachy again! ^^

That, or play Resident Evil while listening to Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' on constant repeat.

[Azreal Hellfire]

when i get depressed i tend to write alot mostly poetry but sometimes ill sit down and write me a good old fashioned long story

[Darrmyth]

Fart alot

[Endymion_of_fire]

I usually write in my livejournal when I'm depressed

[Scion]

I'm not really a person who gets depressed... I just get angry which then leads to me geting sorta depressed.

I just sit down and listen to music and play something which includes a lot of killing or destruction.

[CuteStar]

When i'm depressed i usually talk to someone or write it in my diary

[Bloody KniVeS]

I'll always cut my self to relieve some of the depression away. It works once you get use to the pain.

[stigmatize]

I'd go on a chocolate eating binge. But reading manga or watching anime has always helped me through difficult times. Music too. I blast the music on my radio when i'm feeling down,

[Ranshiin]

I punch stuff as hard as I can.

the most recent things I've done is denting a street lamp and punching a wall at college nine times making my hand bleed.

[Kukuriyu]

Well.. i like to "not get depress". Some actions include playing video games and sleeping. Or most common to me... is put it out on someone esle.

[Havana]

I'm usually optimistic so i'm back to normal in a day or to. When i am depressed i listen to music, chat to people on msn, I also find something todo since boredom and depression are connected in some way. Play finalfantasy X or thinking about wolfy puts me in a good mood. ^^

[Doa]

Well i sometimes try to confront another peron and explain my situation to them.

[pyrothunder336]

usually i consol myself in my room or I go somewhere that i can break alot of stuff until I fell good about myself again

[xiaoxiao]

i just sulk and sometimes cry ( i know but im depressed) im always depressed during the school year. not smart, not cool, not happy,*sobb sobb*

[Tye]

I really don't get depressed but when i do i just go to my room put on some music or play a video game that involves violent. running over people is fun

[Satoshi Hiwatari]

i just talk to my friends

[Missy]

MUSIC.... it's my life.... :P

If that doesn't help... I sit alone and think... maybe grab a yummy snack <3

[The Wing Man]

I like to pray when i am upset.

[Fuu Kasumi]

When I'm depressed I talk to a friend, or I listen to music while playing a fighting game on my Play Station 2.. >>;

Cata~!

[white_lotus27]

Whenever I'm depressed I don't really talk about it. I just walk away from people. Because nobody would really feel how I feel, by being depressed. Sometimes they even make me angrier whenever I'm depressed. That's why I don't like anyone around me whenever I feel depressed, sad, or angry.

[Sake]

If I get depressed......
This happens quite a bit, I'm not very emotionally stable.
Well, I either
A) Break down completely.
B) Bottle it up. (This is the worst possible thing to do)
C) Listen to music whilst crying.
Thats about it. Mostly I bottle it up and bottle it up until I finally just break down, but that only happens when no ones around.

[Arise]

Listen to music, and that's actually something I'm gonna answer to alot of things.

[.Lovebeat]

Listen to music (often sad to make it worst), crying in my bed, and trying to talk to someone who I know can cheer me up or understand me. And that would be some friend (bf maybe), I just can't talk to my parents when I'm depressed.

[white_lotus27]

I think listening to music, but not just any kind. Whenever I feel depressed or sad and angry, I mostly like to listen to hardrock songs, that well hurt my ears. Or extremely rock, or metal. Or sometimes I also cry while I listen to music. I don't know why. It just take my pain away.

[飛竜]

The only thing I depressed is I have many problems than my mother's. Trust me I had lot of trials ahead on me.

[chaoscntrl77]

Whenever I'm depressed I take a nap. Easy as that for me lol.

[KidCash]

I take my Nike's and a Basketball and go dunk on some people feels good

STRAIGHT FROM KIDCASH

[Sake]

I-
A) Sleep
B) Listen to music
C) Beat the **** out of people in Guilty Gear/DOA
D) All of the above.

[Starlight Moon Beam]

I would usually listen to depressive music or talk to a close friend about it..

[Kenshin Himura (O.o)]

sit in a dark room for a while...

[Drangons_Gurl]

I write it down in a song or poem why I feel that way. Then I mope for as long as I want depending on what happend that day...like what happend before. :(

[mimichan1000]

i watch my favorite anime or read manga! or eat junk food;)

[Amix]

I usually..Ehh..Play video games and beat the crap out of the people or listen to some music that I like.

[lionheartghost]

Listen to music, watch funny shows, or get mad at the person (if it was a person) for laughs.

[Blazado]

when Im depressed I don't ay a word. niether do I eat or sleep.Ijust sit in my room in my room and in a way meditate

[Jizzka]

Music, talking to friends, sleeping it off. Used to drink it away or have some meds to take it away. Last two didn't really help...I don't recommend it. But the others help tons =)

[yotsuba-chan]

I do something that makes me bappy or makes me forget about being depressed.

[Mutsumi Anami]

I always listen to sad music just bc I need sad music.....at that moment and remember good times just to try to forget why I'm depressed...or maybe I just start to cry

[Oblivion]

Usually I listen to music or I call a friend.

[FierceFeli.]

I call One of my two best friends, then the depression is over.. But I'm not so familiar with that mood, I'm often the one that helps other away from depression..

[DragonNight]

Blast some music that fits the way i feel, or draw, maybe even write...
Most of the time i lay down on my bed looking at the ceiling listening to music and just tune out...go into your own little world...

[Ranshiin]

when depressed

I put on sad music. Usually the stuff I mean is things like Linkin Park's Easier to Run
then, Im either:

punch stuff. (I put a hole through a door yesterday)

or

I go on a computer and write up my emotions into a file, then post it online somewhere.

(and, if you're concerned, I got depressed last night, bugged out, and punched a door up until I broke a hole in it)

[Uchiha Ulquiorra]

Go outside somewhere with my cd, or mp3 playing, and listen to music

[vault]

i have no idea wat its like to be depressed maby im in a constant state of depression yea it must be cuz i hate the light and i hate people and mostly of all i hate my life oh dam i am depressed

[*insertjapanesenamehere*]

when i get depressed i write disturbingly dark poetry and crank up the rock station so loud that i can hardly stand it to numb my thoughts.

[Karel]

I'm always a bit down.. mostly because I'm thinking of friends.. I don't have too many here and I don't think I'll be making many either.. it's third year since I moved and not a single friend.. so I'm just down thinking of those I still have..

what if I lose them.. then my stupid kid imagination kicks in.. about being some one great, having people admire me.. or just like to have me around. I'm just worried people may not like me for who I am.. or more so for what my status or what I have to prove to them.

Then I would get all pissed.. hearing the advices I've been told many times over.. not to take things serious.. or anything that would pretty much make a fool of myself since the whole purpose is to not give.

That bothers me, but a good nap always gets it off my head

[-akichan-]

I do something that you guys can never imagine.

I'd fill a cup of water, i yell everything and release all the depressions to the water then pour it out =)

[Kurumirina]

well....I atcually when I'm depressed I do nothing..O_o...it will go away sooner or later...can't let something small bug my life....>_>

[飛竜]

well....I atcually when I'm depressed I do nothing..O_o...it will go away sooner or later...can't let something small bug my life....>_>Whoa... That is a different reason Rina. :rolleyes: I could depressed when my thinking became really so negative words comes to my mind. (I may sounded like a pessimist.) *sigh* There is another thing I didn't yet tell. One time, my pet puppy named Macky died on an accident by the driver from the car. I feel depressed and plus having so angry at myself! I feel like having blame to myself for what happened to my new puppy and I feel really sad having some tears while I did punching at the tree when striking foward.

[Faceless111]

When I get depressed, I pop pills.

[mokulen22]

When I get depressed, I pop pills.
Haha, I hope that was meant to be funny 'cause it sure made me laugh. :awe:

[Bluefox-chan]

listen to music and cry...

[Qeeun]

listen to music... or will go play my Bass.

[Hikey™]

If it's a big deal, i'll cry, and at least try to forget about it..

[Vendetta]

Well, I have done some crazy things.. But, the good things i have done, to help my Depression is: I listen to Music, Write poetry, and i write in my journal a lot.. that is how i express myself, through poetry!!^.^:D

[Batman's Assistant]

..when i'm depressed i ...
1.go to the fridge,
2.open the fridge
3.take out the ice cream
4.think happy thoughts(or at least try to..)
5.eat ice cream rapidly infront of the T.V. watching old-time movies
6.try not to choke...
7.take a deep breath...
8.eat more ice-cream...
9.buy more ice-cream....<<
10.work off the pounds i gained from all the ice-cream

[crimsion_tear]

when im depressed i will wear all black, and just be quiet all day long not talking to anyone....

[konoha kate]

When I get depressed, I pop pills.
LOL!!!! Now that is funny! And it's not a bad idea...........

[punk_kat_demon958]

i just do nothing...im used to pain, so i just act like nothing happened..

[Goku(AKIRA)]

I play a game, sleep, punch and kick things or get on here and try to find someone to talk to.

[Damon R.]

What kinda things do I do when I'm depressed... Hmm... Ooh! I know, I KNOW! PICK MEEEeeEEee! *Throws a hand up in the air and waves it*

Anyways, I get depressed often, so what I do is just lie on my futon, listen to my MP3 Player and brood about this and that. Then I don't eat a lot of food for days. O_o; When I'm really, REALLY depressed, I play the piano, or my guitar. I only play my drums when I'm angry. <3

[Shinjimae]

I just pretty much sit and fume... Call myself worthless for a few days... Then it's all good and I go back to my usual Anti-Social self. Works like a Bloody Charm

[Loljoke]

I put on some music.. Normally it makes me even more depressed, but it's just so darn good to listen to music while you're depressed.

[poppy]

read and stuff
just do something to tale my mind off it
something enjoyable
i dont get depressed just kinda unhappy sometimes

[galdon]

there are two things that i do, not both at once, but one or the other.

one, that i'm most used to is turning my mind to pure logic. that way i dont do anything stupid based on my sad emotions.

the other, i do occasionally, is killing monsters ^^ either in video games or in my imagination, and stuff like that.

[PigFarts]

whenever i'm depressed, i listen to calm, relaxing music; mostly enya. her voice and music takes my mind off of the problem and puts me in a very relaxing state. i also write about my problems, which is good for me so at least i know what is really bothering me.

[Shadow Phoenix]

when i depressed i go to my room and turn on some greenday. ^-^

[hARu_pY]

the first thing i do is probably crying.. <___< and then cuddling up with fav. doll next to me.. -________-"

[yheero]

....nothing:<_<:

[Faceless111]

....nothing:<_<:
That won't do. You have to do something. I would suggest running head-first into walls until you literally can't remember what you were depressed about. But that's just me and I'm half insane.

[Masali]

I don't remember posting in this topic. But I usually pop in some happy music (probably journey) and blast that. Or play my guitar, that usually takes the edge off.

[samuriagent]

i go to the library and read all day

[wolfshinobi_demon]

when im depressed to stop crying i bite my hand when im done crying to sooth myself i read some manga ^_^ so thats what i do when im depressed

[ShinNatsume]

well....
i fly my damn plane and wish that i crush down..

[Syne Wolfen]

Hmn.
I listen to music and cry, usually. Sometimes reading, drawing, or taking a walk helps.

[japonice_aeris]

depends on how depressed i am...if its about the deppresion and sorrow of love, i'll try to wound my self and commit suicide?? but i always ask "why am i still alive" - im scared, admit it!!but if im deppressed and want to heal, i'll probably take it down with music...rock :band2:

[bug]

I usually paist back and fort(i do that alot actualy. The only time i dont do it is if im in school), and think of someway to fix or get over my deppresion

[YoKu]

Turn the music up really really really loud or poke at myself with a pen. :badrazz: :badrazz: :badrazz: :badrazz: :badrazz:

[giantevilbunnie]

i lock myself in my room put my music on full blast and cry/draw/write stories/lyrics/poems and then talk to my friends about it if i have the courage. but if i dont want anyone to know i deal with it myself. It worked the first time :)

[Aeramis&Helenus4EVER!!!]

i mope, listen to sad/angry music, or when i'm REALLY depressed cry =/.....but i usually like to sleep, because then i can get away from all those negative feelings

[Katrina_Survivor2]

I don't remeber if I posted on this already, but oh well.

When I'm depressed, I sing. I put on some really soothing music and I try to sing as best as I can. But when I'm depressed cause my throught hurts, then I'm screwed lol.

[Illusia]

When Im depressed I tend to listen to music and try to reason it out with happy thoughts but it doesn't work everytime so the best thing is to let go and cry so it releases my sadness and tension.:(

[Seldrima]

I'm actually quite upset now, i type everything down..mothers aye?*smiles weakly* i cry, or type, my emotions form words, feelings no longer contained, i feel free, like the tears i have released, eventually i listen to loud music, hoping to drown out the grief..

[Ariesgirl]

When I'm depressed I guess it depends on what it is that I'm depressed about. If it is something that just doesn't matter I will eat Ice Cream. But if it is something that I don't see how the situation could change then I stop eating sometimes for days. I kinda do self torture. Such as not eating or speaking to anyone, I do things that will cause me pain just to see if I can feel. Or I'll go to sleep and hope that the problem just smelts away. But one thing I'll never do is let someone see me cry. I hate crying for me that is a sign of weakness, and I hate feeling that powerless. But when I'am at my lowest I don't care who sees me.

[Depressed_Angel]

Im not a depressing person its that my lifes so messed up that im depressed a lot. I just talk about it, or sit and shut my mouth, depends wut im depressed about

[Ami~chan]

Umm... I like to mope around and eat cereal. No kidding; nothin' like a bowl of Cheerio's to cheer one up!

The computer helps too.

[MaGeaX~]

When i'm depressed.....
i would, do these things

: Sleep
: listen to music
: get some fresh air
: stuff my mouth with food
: write/scribble in a notebook
: play video games till i pass out
: go outside and throw stuff in the streets or at cars
: go on the computer (if i can) for more then 5 hours.....
: dail random numbers on the phine and tell that person that i'm bored then hang up


ECT.

[The Flame Alchemist]

I punch walls build things what ever comes to mind.
Same here.

[Water| Katara-sensei.]

I like to draw when I'm depressed. :)

[prettyketty]

I usually call one of my friends or talk to my boyfriend about it because usually they have the anwser to my problems.

[LittleMomo]

Talk to my friends, because they cheer me up ^-^ Thank you guys for cheering me up when I'm down. I also talk to my girfriend if I'm depressed. She'll cheer me up also.

[Luna13]

I listen to music. Which is normally depressing but depressing music cheers me up, write poems, cry, think, and I'll cut if I'm that depressed. I can't talk to my friends they freak out. I'll also talk to my bf he usually can cheer me up.

[saskie]

Um... It really depends how heavy you're fallen in this spell of depression... If I fall in too much eventually I'll start crying to get it all out. If I'm not in it too much I just read, listen to music, surf the net and just try to find something funny to laugh at XD But not like mean stuff... Like comedy mangas XD I recommend Yotsuba&! She's cute and she'll take your depression away :P

[Vincent Valentine]

When I'm depressed, I like to listen to some good music, have a cigarette. Usually, I also like to ***** about people on the phone, too. I don't beat myself up over anything too much, because I know that if I do, I'll get myself in a worse state.

If I do get depressed, usually it is because I feel like I'm bored with life. Like I'm not doing anything, or I'm not going out enough. Sometimes, when I like to have some "Me" time, I usually stay in and watch some animé, or something.

Everyone likes a little "Me" time, after all.

Honestly, I try not to feel depressed, but sometimes... like, when the weather is pretty damn awful, raining and such, you tend to find it more annoying than depressing. Stressed would be a much better word.

Anyone who becomes depressed should always try to unwind. And that's what I do~. <3

[The Governator]

[Subaru Blue]

I have a good cry.:(

[Priest Gunman]

I listen to violent music alot, write alot of dark poetry, and generally look at the ground no matter where i'm walking to. It usually lasts about 2-3 days, unless it's a really REALLY bad bout with depression. My last bad one lasted over a year. O_o;

[Xigre]

I have really good idea of what i do when i'm depressed.. because i currently am. I am self-destructive in any way i can be that isn't physical. The last thing i want is to hurt anybody else. Just me, because i made myself depressed, of course.

[The Awsome]

I like to cuddle up on the couch with a beautiful ...bucket of Haagen Daz ice cream. *snif* Ahhh, comfort food.;)

[RichardE40k]

Fill my Aston Martin with about 4 gallons of petrol, then go as far away as I can (usually to the coast), think and write about things for a few hours then drive home, refilling sometimes before I head of. This can be quite expensive as the car is thirsty but driving and relaxing some place new calms me down greatly and I really like It when I do this at night. It mostly is as I can’t do anything in the day most of the time as I have classes to attend and coursework/studying.

[Kurama_the_spirit_fox]

the only things that get me stressed is trying to keep my relationship with my bf, and school x_X when im stressed i usually just sleep O_o;

[Shia-san]

I listen to music...

[~Troublesome Woman~]

I look at the clouds... it makes me feel so calm.

[Mutsumi Anami]

Well when I get depressed I usually go and close the door of my bedroom and lie on my bed and think of everything...or maybe I go and get some sleep you know hehe ^^* or listen to slow music...that relaxes me....or I call my best friend to talk about my problems..why I'm so depressed....

[saskie]

Drink and listen to rock/depressing songs XD

[mimiruchan]

Listen to music, Read, go running, draw or just cry for a bit...it helps ^^;

[Kakashi's favorite]

[Master Of Shred]

When I'm depressed there is usually no one around, no one online. I sit around in near painful boredom, I listen to "strange" music, I say strange because it is not at all the music I listen to normally. Depressing stuff, HIM, Nightwish ect.
Most times nothing helps, and if something dose help I cannot recall it lol. Ironic huh? Well I usually trudge through the day, then go to bed early and hope it is gone by morning or what ever, usually is.

[.Alumina]

I dont think Nightwish are depressing but i do listen to them when im depressed especially Creek Mary's Blood. dont know why.

[Xieshunnuan]

well i go take a nice warm bath to cool things down(unless someone bothers me...)

[Kagekotsu]

I write or draw. Mostly I write about my feelings that I'm having at the moment and somehow I'm beginning to feel better. And if there's the possibility of taking a long, hot bath, then I'll do it. A good book also cheers me up, or a fanfiction.. ^^

[~*Athena*~]

[Mew Blossom]

I usually just break something and lie on my bed until I fall asleep.

[Dark Lord]

I listen to depressing music. It makes me more depressed, but I like it.

[-Shizu-]

Be alone and think about the depression and take it out alone. (so i dont look weak obviously) whenever someone comes near me, usually go away, most the time, i just look at snow or rain while im doing the above.

[Purple1]

I cry, think about depressing stuff, cry some more. Er.... think about all my flaws and cut my arms, I still have some scars.

[Gren, The Soul Absorber]

I cut myself constantly and think about death 24/7 because of they feeling that no one cares about me... i hate the fact that no one would ever want to go out with me either because they are to afraid to get to know me or that i look terrible...

[Blade08]

play video games

[Angeleon1]

When i'm depressed I usualy take it out on an unexpecting game. Or, if it's an online game, an unexpecting person on a game. that, or I draw...

[*Darla's_Curiousity*]

If I get depressed, I blare some music and take an aluminum baseball bat to a punching bag. It's top-notch therapy.I usually just listen to music, writre or talk to my big sis but this idea sounds like fun!!!!!!!

[Lilium Filix]

Usually I would talk to my friend.
She can turn any sad moment into an amusing one I can tel you that. ^^
Or I would go out for ice-cream.
Works like a charm. ^~

~The Angel has spoken~
~AEK~

[.Alumina]

I go to my room, put some music on loud and play a fighting game, mostly soul calibur or tekken and whoever made me depressed..they're my opponent. yes, i know i need help ^^

[kswift]

Usually when I'm depressed,I...well, because I don't have any body to talk to in my family,the best thing for me to do would draw anime and listen to some good soothing music, or run a couple of miles around my house?

[BlU3]

I usually pick 1 of these choices randomly; :p

> Play action games (that usually settles everything)
> Let it all out by shouting n throwing stuffs across the room (immature, I know)
> Pick a fight with the person that made me depress in the first place :rolleyes: I usually do this only when I can no longer contain myself
> Tell my sister-in-law about them. She's always there to lend n ear ;)

...When I was younger I used to cry whenever I'm depressed, but as I grew older, I noticed that crying only made me look pathetic. So I stopped doing that immediately.

[_allismine_]

I either write ticked off poetry, listen to MCR, or rant in my blog.

Yes. I write poetry. Not the emo crap, either. XD

[Keyasaffection]

i listen to music, just blare it while laying on my bed crying, it help alot and makes me think better.
me two....and fatty food...;)

[Taikyo]

hmm...Listen to depressing musics, draw during the same time, and sometimes, I would just go mope on my bed not doing anything. Yup, it'll take me quite awhile to be happy again, with the way I handle it. ==;..

[lucifer_ur_god]

Smoke and Cut thats it really
same...exept i drink too

[iernt8]

i just play some games.

[Miyukara]

I write really long depressing poems, but that seems to help me vent, so it's all good!! ^^ Maybe I should post one of them here!! ^^

[Sagat]

Some of the darkest poetry has been the most soul stirring. While not a poem per se, Poe's "red death" short story about the plague is chilling and incredibly detailed and well written with lots of imagery. Frosts poems, perhaps not dark but sombre, are very moving.

[Alice_Fallen_Cloud]

umm im sure id get flamed hardcore for answering honestly so lets just say it varies, also sad might be a better word for it

[Ayame_Sohma]

Hello

When im depressed the best thin for me to do in lock myself in my room and just sleep there no point listenin to music cos it get me more depressed but i only get depressed if i have not seen my bf for a while

[Vandire]

If I can, talk to someone about it. If not, turn on some nice ranty music, eat something yummy and do some excersize. Keeping fit and all that improves self esteem slightly, but more important than that, apparantly it triggers the release of serotonin in the brain, which is the chemical responsible for happy-feel-good-ness. =)

Its not the easiest way to trigger a release of serotonin, but on the plus side the extra effort put into releasing it means avoiding a risk of damaging my IQ and memory, which is something I prefer to avoid. Keeping hold of IQ is generally more useful for staying happy long-term than a quick shot of happiness. (unless you get rid of *all* of it, but there are *waaaay* too many other things to say about that... and I'm not in a particularly essay-ish mood right now.)

Or if I can't be bothered with all that just go crash round a friends. That usually cheers me up.

[Music Fiend]

I listen to music, play video games, write, read, and/or sleep when I'm depressed. I also like to go out and play some basketball, to loosen up and calm myself.

[ShadowtheWarWolf]

I just lay in my bed and go to sleep. When I wake up I usually forget about why I was depressed.

[Jackk]

I box my dad, or play a video game, watch tv, or just forget about it. I don't get depressed alot, but when I do its normally the product of boredom.

[Evangeline]

pop some happy pills wait a half hour, then move on.

[Missy]
