Depression.

All of the above are very good ideas. However, if you've been depressed for a long period of time you may need to be on a medication to help manage it. I've worked for a psychiatrist along with a number of other different types of doctors. I know that once you are on the medication you need to take it daily for at least 4-6 weeks in order for it to take effect and then continue to take it daily after that. It might also help if you could talk to a professional counselor. Of course, hopefully, this would be in your budget. I am very knowledgeable with insurance companies and doctors offices, if you need help finding a doctor close to you or need help figuring out your insurance please pm me and I will do my best to help you. Good luck to you and I hope you get the help you need

You can message me anytime or we can exchange numbers if you'd like. I've gone through deppression plenty, so I know how to deal with it. Friends help to a point; they might eventually get fed up and walk up and leave. I lost then best friend that way. With her gone, another friend stepped up to the plate and helped immensely.

Friends can help you forget, but it'll only be a temporary loss. In the end, you have to find a new way to make yourself happy. My escape was getting into fashion, music, and posting my art on the Internet. My art I feel gives me purpose. When I receive praise for it, I feel like Im finally doing something right. All you need to do is find your medium, follow through with it, and persevere. If you have any goals and aspirations in life, take more steps to persue it. Keeping busy with a job, school, or hobbies will keep your mind occupied as well. Make yourself too busy to be sad.

If you can't motivate yourself or be happy with yourself, then no one else will be. Deppression is a tough battle, but it is a war within that the sufferer must conquer

I myself was in the depression state, 2 months of just grey days. Here some tips.

* Don't close yourself in.
* Don't listen to sad music, but if its on, just ignore it. ( Sad music; E.g. Gary Jules - Mad world )
* DO NOT CANCEL YOURSELF OUT TO DRUGS!!!! Biggest mistake I made...\
* Don't become a alcoholic.
* Just think positive, don't be afraid of anything. If you look so downly upon yourself, you'll be more scared of life.

Hope this helps.

I dont have many tips but I want to say that one should deal with his stress and depression as earliest as he feel before it goes to higher level where it is difficult to handle it. There is very less trend of life coaching instead people prefer psychiatrists more. A psychiatrist deals with your depression and mental disease. However, a life coach helps you to deal with your life problems i.e mental, physical, emotional and social through every stage of your life with strong spirituality. If you know that how can you live your life against hurdles and problems you can improve your life quality and leads to prosperity with strong spiritual mindset. Life coaching is the natural treatment of depression according to me.

Depression is hard to get through and so many people are affected by this state of the mind.

Sometimes there are little things we can do to improve our mood:
- regularly take a walk outside, preferably in nature
- include short sessions of exercises in your daily routine (brisk walk, jogging, etc.)
- eat more fruits and vegetables while reducing the amount of sugar from other sources
- talk to your family, to your friends, talk talk talk

I try not to be angry. That is all.

Acknowledging the fact that you have depression is the first step , then you can take small steps to make changes in your life. Definitely family and friends play a big rol in this.
