Someone help me please with depression. What do I do?

Taking a first step as connecting with a listener is a big step towards your personal happiness. Please message me or any other listener.

It's good that you've noticed it. You should find an trusted adult, or someone who you trust very much and talk to them about it. I find that being around a lot of positive people and doing more positive things helps with my depression. I also listen to more up going music, and watch more comedy and avoid anything negative or anything that I know will trigger my depression.

How about we talk, or you talk to another listener? Or you can go over some exercises to help relax yourself.

I would say rather than constantly focusing on things that made you feel depressed in the first place and daily life. Take time out, get away from things completely, if your boss is getting you down take some annual leave go on holiday. Avoid day time depressing tv instead while you can put on something that interests you i.e breaking bad/your fave soaps. concentrate on what you like if you like art, why not join an art class at your local adult college class/visit a gallery. if you have good concentration read that book you always wanted to read, if you like walking take fido out walkies with you.?

Literally paint silver linings on things! preferably your own things... then gift them to someone.

Being depressed is awful It drains your energy, and it makes you feel awful. Get professional help if you can.

I recommend speaking to a listener, we're great at speaking to you about these things! We can also recommend ways to improve your mood on a day to day basis!

Talking to someone may help with depression. Instead of a person balling up all of their feelings inside , letting it out may help.

Well there are a lot of answers on this thread - I would say this, consider the core reasons why you are unhappy or a low mood so often - is it something that happened, is it due to lack of connection, boredom, low self-esteem, etc? Also get evaluated by a professional to understand means of treating the depression.

When did it start? Do you feel depressed every day? If it is serious, I would direct this person to a specialist.

The best thing to do when depressed is to tell the your close family and friends as it is a good to tell others on how you are feeling. When I went through depression I kept it to myself until I opened up and found out that it feels better to do so.

There's never a correct answer to this, there's several answers that can help, but you can find some coping skills, having a therapist or someone to listen to you and talk to you is always good to have. Some people like medications, but you need to have a diagnosis and a doctor give you a medication to use and ease your depression. Its never good to be alone though, always surround yourself with people who will help and be there for you, or surround yourself with things that make you happy. Depression isn't forever and someday you'll see that improvement is constant. :-) Don't give up, if you ever need to talk, I'm here.

That will probably depend upon the cause. What's got you feeling depressed? Has anybody ever suggested that you walk? I know that it may SOUND simple, and that sometimes it's hard to walk when we feel like we can barely get the washroom or eat, but walking can honestly help a whole lot! Doing exercise increases Seratonin. Seratonin is a natural anti-depressant. (NO, I'm not telling you to stop talking your meds. This is not wise, and I"m not your doctor. I just know how much it helped me when I was down.) When we increase Seratonin, you would think that it would be enough to help, but our bodies need Vitamin D to help to absorb and use the Seratonin. How do you get Vitamin D? Being in the sun. Well, that helps, but vitamin D isn't easily absorbed and used by the body unless we have vitamin C. How do we get Vitamin C? Usually by eating such things are citrus and other fruit. My suggestion? Eat an apple and go walking in the sun. Within about three weeks of walking like that for 30-45 minutes every day, I felt a DRASTIC reduction in my depression symptoms. (Any exercise would do the same as walking.)

Depression used to stop me from enjoying ANYTHING, even things that used to make me happy. When I began feeling this down, I started attending therapy and taking medication. For me, taking medication helped push me enough to talk to someone and make a change

Try to relax and think when things really bother you. And do the things you enjoy doing and be around the people who make you happy. And if things get out of control, try a councilor, person you trust, or a helpline to assist you.

Take a hot shower and eat something. Make sure to put on comfortable clothes. Hop into bed or somewhere comfortable and close your eyes. Breathe. Just think for a second. What do you like about yourself? I'll bet your eyes shine. I'll bet your face lights up when you smile. I"ll bet you can make anyone's day by chatting with them. There. Just like that. Keep your eyes closed now, and just rest until you want to do something. Whenever you can, keep coming up with things to love about yourself and anything around you. Do you like how the sun looks on the grass? Do you like the way the bass drops in that one guilty pleasure song? Do you like the way those four words sound when they are put together just so? We're here for you, darling. Just Breathe.

As a person with depression, i would suggest either doing youre favorite things, or find a new hobby to make one of your favorite things.

Depression is when you are overwhelmed with feelings or grieve and hurt. Normally there is a source to where this feeling comes from. Try to acknowledge the source and heal it.

You can talk to close friends that you trust or family member, or you can also look for help online, call for help (e.g. the samaritans) or even make an appointment with your local GP and explain how you are feeling.

For a day, do not think of anything negative. Think of only positive thoughts. Maintain a journal and observe your thoughts. Its difficult but, you can overcome it.

When I was depressed at work, I first identify the reasons behind my feeling. Once I identify them, I try to work through them, working every possible angle while keeping focus on the positive thoughts or outcomes that I could cause. Thinking positively is hard, but talking about your feelings with supportive friends and families helps you to do so. Then I focus on doing things that I truly love rather than be stuck in the same depressing situation, and that helps me break the walls.

You’re not alone in this. I might not know you're situation but you are important to somebody in this world. I may not be where you are right now, but I will always show you compassion.

Make sure you make yourself happy! Consider yourself first and make sure you get lots to eat and drink!

If you've been dealing with feelings of depression for more than two weeks, the best thing to do would be to see a physician. While speaking with a Listener at 7 Cups of Tea can be helpful (and definitely feel free to do this!), a licensed physician would best know how to help you.

You should take a moment to focus on all the positive aspects of your life. Then speak to a doctor.

First of all, you need to seek a professional help. You need to try to understand what's causing all this. After that, you need to be surrounded by people who truly loves you and cares about you. And last but no least, try to believe in yourself. You're not in this world by mistake. You're unique.

First of all, step back and take your time. Remember that you're definitely not alone in this - there are millions of people in the same place who're dealing with the same dark feeling. There are multiple ways to reach out, here with a listener, with friends or family, with a trained therapist, on an online forum. Try to give yourself credit - look how far you've come and how much you've made it through. No matter what you're dealing with, you have the fortitude to move through this as well.

Try to get to the button of the depression. Asking careful questions. Let them tell you mostly just fish for ampnswers but not be blunt. Let them talk .

Depression is a battle best won in numbers. Seeking help is always the first step. Find a supportive group of people that will help guide you towards the person you want to be. Depression is relentless and can put a strong fight, but always remember that there's someone out there who's fighting by your side. You are not alone, so go out there and give it your best shot. You are strong. You can do it.

There is never an easy answer for a question like this. The first thing someone should do is see a Dr. for the symptoms they have, and then go forward from there.
