When you are feeling depressed, how do you get out of it? I've been having the worst few months...

Idk, I've been trying my whole life to figure that one out.

I finally told my mother about my situation and that helped immensely. I talk with great people and share my feelings on here. I recently took a break from both school and work and took a trip to Cancun with my mom--it was amazingly relieving. I rid myself of people who brought MHM life negativity... I sought God and in all honesty, I have never felt so lifted.

I still have my moments, but I wouldn't wish to go back to where I was a few months ago.

Pokemon Go is really helpful. You have to go outside to catch cute monsters and you may end up interacting with people completely by accident.

Perspective is Everything. I have to remind myself I have skills and habits I previously used to handle stressful and depressive states. Books, Friends, Family and my dogs. They Help, for the really bad times, finding someone to confide in about all my issues. My therapist. It works, provided, like anything, you put in the time to work at it.

All the time you've been reading these responses, have you felt depressed? There's no easy way out of it, but try to avoid pity parties with people who are trying to exceed each other in martyrdom. ;-)
