You can do multiple things. You can tell someone that you trust or you can try doing things that you really enjoy to cheer you up. Everyone is sad at one point or other but if it gets to the point of suicidal thoughts or actions, you should see a doctor right away.

I think that getting rid of depression is a process. It takes a lot of time but I find from personal experience, the best way to get rid of it is to find a hobby; something you enjoy doing that will get your mind off things and help you slowly get rid of depression. Good luck! You can do it!

When one is depressed, it's not uncommon for them to deprive themselves from healthy things such as exercise, eating, sleeping well, socializing, all of which can help lead to a happier life. Once you're back on your feet is when things start getting better, but it's not an overnight fix, it has to be worked for.

Surround yourself with cute puppies. No matter how depressed you are, seeing your puppies face will surely make your day and would make you think less about your problems! Especially when they surround you with kisses and sniffs!

there's unfortunately no way to get rid of depression completely; it's treatable, but not curable. that is to say, there are resources and help you can get to help you cope and deal with the thoughts that come with depression. this could help you have a better, healthier mindset and therefore -help- your depression. sometimes, though, even with help and support, depression comes back for no particular reason. the important thing is learning to build up a support system so that when those periods of depression hit, you have a way of dealing with it in a healthy and helpful way.

It's very difficult to 'get rid' of depression. There is of course a wide spectrum of depression in terms of severity. Generally the things that you can do to help (which are extremely difficult in the moment) are to observe your body's needs. Have you had something to eat? Have you gotten outside? Have you had enough sleep? Try to attend to these basic needs first and there's a good chance that your mind will follow.

Make a list of things to do everyday. They can be hard (fly a plane) or easy (get out of bed and shower). The list making approach has helped me manage depression. Little victories and feeling accomplished goes a long way. Depression will always be around. I feel managing it little by little and talking are the best solutions.

Get to know your demons. Become friends with them. Find out their weaknesses and take them down. You can only get stronger from there.
