How can I stop feeling depressed?

yes, if you start smiling more often. Even if it looks foolish. After a couple of months the smile will become genuine, the "depression" will go

It's very hard to stop feeling depressed, to finish it you must first take action, not your boyfriend, girlfriend parents or family it all depends on you. Go talk to a therapist and do small steps because trying is succeeding.

Some find it very hard to come out of depression when I have hit bottom I feel there's no way back up but I did I got up brushed my self down and lifted my head up started doing something new in my life made me so much better :)

Start talking to someone and explain what you're feeling. Talking is the first step to overcoming depression.

Although finding long-term solutions to depression can prove difficult, there are a number of ways to reduce depression and stimulate the mind. This can be achieved through exercise, partaking in activities you enjoy or simply listening to happy music.

There is no one way for you to stop feeling depressed. Depression is a complex illness, and the things that may work for one person, may not necessarily work for you! I often hear people who explain their frustrations when they explain that their friend was able to cope with their depression by working out, but when they tried it, it didnt help as much. Everybody is unique and so is their depression. Yes, people may experience the same symptoms, but the solutions are often unique too. Things you can try are: working out, going out with friends, spending time with family, reading a good book, baking, etc etc. However, these are small distractions that may make the depression subside a bit, but the best way to "stop", would be to consider seeking professional help. :)

There is no one cure for depression, as awful as that is. There are, however, coping mechanisms that can help get you through it. Talking to a medical professional is the best way to help you out.

Depression is a serious thing maybe try talking about it more or start counseling what ever you believe is best for you. No one can really say how to just stop it depression is something that happens and figuring a way to stop it is important so you just being on here trying to figure out how to stop feeling depressed is a big start wanting to find help is important and if you need to talk privately I am here so are many others. I hope this helped out with your question.
