How do you cope up with depression? I've been bothered lately by so many things in life. I don't know how to cope up with this. I have been distracted and I cannot focus on anything. What can I do in order for me to see the brighter side of life and manage to overcome depression?

I dont know that I have been depressed but I have been really stressed out lately and my advice is to write about it or talk to a close friend or family member will help. I write all the time and if you can try to focus on one thing at a time it should help.

Okay, I'll try that one. Actually I am also writing whenever I am depressed. Blogging is the only activity that I can do. Somehow it helps since through writing I can express what I really feel.

I guess I need to see a doctor first before taking any medicines.

well i've never been diagnosed before but i do constantly feel depressed. You might want to go see a psychologist they really can help you. I've studied psychology for 3 years and what they tell me is that the best cure is some good old fashioned exercising and staying close to your friends and family.

The thing is, I always want to be isolated whenever I feel depressed. I don't like to go out neither talk to my friends. I just want to be alone. I cannot even comprehend with their advices.
