I am an easily depress person. I am depressed if I have so many problems. I really don't know how to overcome it sometimes. I think it takes a lot of courage and determination to surpass it. Can you share how you overcome depression? What are the things that depress you?

Try googling for 'sparkster hubs'. He has an article with ways of dealing with depression without having to take medication, it just seemed silly at first but after doing it for a month or two it actually seemed to work I was quite impressed.

Do you have a pet? I encourage you to keep one as I too have one for myself. It helps to release my stress because it knows when I am sad. It will come near me and sit beside me. For you, I also want you to listen to music which makes you happy whether its pop or lite music or any music you want. Sure you believe and I believe you can overcome this problem.

Sad to say, I have no pets. Oh yes, I love music. Music is my escape to reality. It is my friend also to insanity. "Haha". What I usually likes too play are sad music. Well, from now on, I will shift to lively music.

I know how you feel. I go through it and fight it every day. Its never easy. All anyone can do is take life one day at a time. And when you feel like everything is getting to you ask to talk to someone for advice. Rather its over a bill, family problems or what ever may cause the depression to rise up stronger. Try and relax. Its easier said then done I know. Things got over bearing for me. Now I am on medication everyday. Hugs to help you get through things better. And know that you are not alone.

Yes, it is really the worst feeling especially if there is no one to hold on to. I felt it several times. Indeed, the best medication to that is the love coming from your family, their care, their hugs, and their attention. I just shift also my attention to the television and also reading books and listening to the music.

My family has helped me through a lot of tough times. I go through anxiety and depression. I try to do everything I can to fight it. I read books, watch movies, do puzzles, walk ect. It may not be easy but you have a friend if you need to talk on here.

Yes, the best medication to overcome depression is to talk to someone else. We must be strong enough also to fight this depression. Everyday, there are new problems arising and we must be brave for it.

When a person have lots of problems he definitely falls in some sort of depression. In some people it will be more than normal.Try to overcome this giving a sweet smile in your face watching you in front of mirror..I will try this when ever i am depressed. Otherwise i will play with small children..Sometimes this helps me alot..

Well, I will do what you suggest. I will play with my little cousins in order to fight depression brought by frustrations. I will learn to smile always. I will be tough from now on and will be staying positive.

Good day. I am the kind of person who don't get many friends and for most of the time, I spend days with myself. It's okay to live all alone but sometimes when I get into trouble, I do feel kind of upset and frustrated. And at that time, I would feel that I am abandoned by this world. I used to eat a lot if I am extremely depressed. Eating makes me feel content. But that could cause obesity. So now I am learning to tell my friends about my feelings. And it's also a good way to tell you guys what I am thinking about on Mylot.
