What do you usually do when a wave of depression just starts to crash over you?

😞... Write and vent and try to be alone, and then after some time may try talking to someone, and will try to sleep as much as possible

Listen to sad music that makes it worse

I ride the wave and suffer

I have a drink

Usually something self destructive, like eat junk food, drink or, worst of all by a country mile, get on SW.

Hope never, I can't see myself going through that ,plus I gotta be the rock ,rock cannot break

I exercise unless i'm sick with a cold or something like i am now, and then there's not much i can do.

I honestly just hold on.. make sure I get everything done that’s urgent

I listen to music.
Or hangout with friends

Distract yourself. I often work out and watch movies.

Depends on how strong it is

Now, sleep...

Nothing.

Sleep

Even through I want to sleep, I have to push myself to be physically active. I like to push myself until I am so physically exhausted I don’t have the energy to overthink.

Ride it out.

I get outside and go for a walk, then I keep moving. All day. It's the only thing I've found that works.
