What do you do when you're...

[Guest papacita]

I've been kinda depressed since Friday for whatever reason and I was wondering what everyone else does if or when they get depressed.

[Guest TheHulkster]

I usually smoke a bowl or drink. It's not the best route, but it kills the pain for at least a little while.

[Guest DJ Jeff]

When I was depressed, I went for long walks, which I found helped alot. Just getting out was good. Either that, or you can talk about your depression with a family member or a counsellor, whatever you feel more comfortable with.

[Guest Marshall]

Bottle it up untill...............

 

[Guest Leena]

Sleep. If you can't sleep, release your pain on inanimate objects.

 

Papacita, it always seems like you're depressed?

[Guest areacode212]

Hanging out with friends is usually a good way to forget about your depression. Basically doing anything that prevents you from being alone with your thoughts.

[Guest LooseCannon]

I smoke alot of cigarettes while aimlessly wandering. That and sometimes I try writing.

[Guest Some Guy]

I don't often get depressed but when I do I tend to drink my problems away. I also do that when I'm stressed, which I am fairly often. Either that or I go out with my girl, but drinking is less volitile.

[Guest Incandenza]

I listen to music.

[Guest MrRant]

I watch tv

[Guest DARRYLXWF]

Watch Hot Shots 2.

[Guest Kotzenjunge]

Think to yourself that things could always be worse.

 

You could be me.

You either:

 

1) Didn't get laid

2) Alienate yourself from your friend Erica

3) Both 1 & 2

4) None of the above, in which case I apologize for being so crass.

[Guest eiker_ir]

i usually call my girl and have nice conversations with her, it makes me feel better

 

 

 

 

***oh yeah and watching a really funny movie helps too.....

[Guest treble charged]

Whenever I'm depressed, I just realize that, somewhere out there, I have a biggest fan, and, it's my job to make that person happy.

 

That usually brightens up my day.

[Guest godthedog]

i commit suicide whenever i'm depressed.

 

it happens a lot.

[Guest Lord of The Curry]

Watch some tapes of All Japan Pro Wrestling legend Shohei "Giant" Baba....the mans precious little smile will light up your day. I'm serious about that.

 

I usually listen to music or just call up a pal and talk. Bottling shit up isn't healthy, my suggestion is to relase it in whatever way you feel comfy with.

[Guest DARRYLXWF]

Doesn't that mean you'll be raining peaches?

[Guest DrTom]

I write. I find I write certain things better when I'm depressed or mad at the world than I do when I'm in a normal state of mind.

[Guest imajackoff?]

I meditate. Out with the negative energy, in with the peaceful calm.

[Guest Slingshot Suplex]

Put on Pink Floyd's The Wall and become bitter at the world

[Guest El Psycho Diablo]

Being depressed is kinda fun. I wouldn't know what to do without it. If I can't get away from here, I just tend to blast music until it's worked out, or go visit a friend, or if I can..get out of town. *shrugs* But that's me.

[Guest MrRant]

If you can watch Married With Children. Al Bundy is your guide through depression.

[Guest J*ingus]

Depends. I'll usually just mope around the house, trying to cheer myself up with MST3K videos. If the option is available, I'll go to Waffle House at 2 AM and smoke & eat greasy food for a couple of hours, while reading a paper and despising the universe. And sometimes I'll write about it on message boards.

[Guest NazMistry]

I make myself a bigass sandwich, throw some 'Muse' in the CD player, turn up the volume on my stereo really loud, drink a lot of Dr.Pepper and fall asleep dreaming of women I'd like to... you know the rest.

[Guest Texas Small Arms 09]

Depnds on how depressed I am. I'll either write poetry or I'll turn up this music really loud and that normally does it. Or there are the times I take a hot bubble bath, but that would only work if you are a chick

[Guest Strike Force!]

Buy a DVD.

[Zorin Industries]

I usually bottle it up till it bursts, and then I bottle it up till the next time.

 

And don't bother with counsellars, it dosen't work, and AVOID anti-depressants at all costs, they turn you into a fucking zombie.

 

Yes, I do know a lot about this, why do you ask?

[Guest DragonflyKid]

I agree with going for a walk as i prefer solitude but everyone is different.

 

Whenever I feel like a "loser" whose life is going nowhere fast I enjoy going out at night and gaze up at the stars. I accept the fact we are all animals on a planet in the middle of nowhere and we will all die someday. That can either lead you to an abyss or a great sense of adequacy as all urgency fades away. I don't have to do anything or be anyone, I can just enjoy life anyway I want to without irrational burdens weighing me down and when I die I die. It allows me to be less apprehensive of the future and more bold in the present.

 

In high school I used to sulk around old-school Raven style, however cool it was it wasn't progressive as I wallowed in my depression and didn't confront and seek to overcome what was bothering me.
