Do you have any secrets to fighting depression off?!
Question:
Do you have any secrets to fighting depression off?
Answers: Medication but I know that doesnt always work..
Make yourself listen to good music, or go for a long walk and look for nice things, pay attention to the birds chirping or the kids riding there bikes laughing.
Watch a funny movie...those are my tricks. Its VERY hard to make yourself do it sometimes but if you really want to feel better, give it a try...
Hope you get to feeling better...it sucks sometimes, I know... Never think about the depression... think happy thoughts all the time. XD Zoloft. Prayer prescription drugs tomorrow is another day , think happy things :) i like thinkin about how happy ive made ppl and how happy dat's made me! yay! or in more severe cases wen dat doesnt work, i jus watch endless episodes of simpsons :) Why should i tell u if its the secret? lol, i try to divert my mind thinking about good things, things that make me laugh, watch comedy series or even play any shooting game on my pc, it helps alot. I'm proof positive that one can fight depression through willpower rather than pharmaceuticals.
This is going to sound like a crappy Hallmark card, but people really can choose to be happy and content in life. Just the act of trying sets the ball in motion, and it becomes increasingly easier.
However, I think it helps enormously to have a good sense of humor and the ability to laugh at yourself and at life.
Oh, and there's nothing wrong with getting the blues now and then. It's called being human. I'm certainly not some cheery Disney character 24/7 -- but I no longer wallow in depression and let it fester for weeks. Be wary of any doctor who prescribes a pill to be taken anytime you feel a tad bit down in the dumps.
Best wishes!
