If it is real depression I am pretty destructive. I used to vent it by going to the local punk rock shows and beat on nazis all night. I quit doing that when I moved away from San Diego and ran out of people I felt justified in harming.

Now I just try to wait it out. I sit and think. Someitmes I try to keep myself so busy I bottle it up and let it steam itself out slowly. That works to a degree, but it sometimes will backfire with ugly results.

When things get bad I break things.

I'm glad to say, I don't get depressed anymore!! That's due to ONE person, and that's my very own Angel! :) 'Course, I sometimes get my "down days", don't we all.... but knowing I'm going home to CA always makes me feel SO much better!:heart:

originally posted by FussyPucker I don't get depressed I have these lovely little white pills from the docs they keep me happy

I used to get them, a few years ago..... but only after I pulled myself away from the edge of an 80-foot cliff!! Would never let myself get that depressed again.... too scary!:eek:

DM

I talk to my friends or I go out for a long drive

I draw.

when i am depressed i surf and chat
that is what i am doing now to forget and not to think about my depression.

Well me what I do is work. I try to get my mind off of what every it is that made me that way... Or I'll call home talking to my family always make me feel better...
but.......... thats just me

Are you trying to piss me off....or.....make me depressed?

LOL! ;)

Listen to music, write, and draw. Lately the last two haven't been much, but the first has been.

another thing that is depressing is that this post that i made about depression got more replies then my threads with the pictures

Have a drink and chill out to some music

well i i
eat junk food, ioce cream, fried food, watch blue movies, go to strip clubs , look at porn on the internet

things like that

Yet another reason I don't dare post pics. The silence would be worse than the replies.

If it is summer or at least nice out - a long walk followed by a hot shower/bath. I write about what is makeing me depressed / blue, read and sleep. The next day things always seem better, not perfect, but much more livable.

I go rock climbing. Nothing quite as Zen like for me anyway. Always puts things in perspective. You forget about what is troubling you and causes you to focus on the moment. If you don't, you fall....that's bad. LOL
