Dealing With Depression

I go to church and pray.

What's the situation that's making you unhappy in the first place? Rather than throwing yourself into work why not take that time to do something for you! When I'm stressed or down I go for a surf, take the bike or car for a spin, play music, or just go for a walk and take some photos. Doing something that requires you to concentrate but also brings enjoyment and takes your mind elsewhere. .

When i am depressed the problem with me is that instead of venting it out to other people i am avoiding people as much as possbible it's like i just want to keep it myself and wait until the feeling passes..i really want to reach out to professionals who can help me but until now i don't...but still looking forward that i may be able to get a consultation and take meds..it's really hard ??

Most time my family accompanies me. And I will read some interesting passages, listen to some light music, watch comedies and some other activities. Maybe you can have a rest by some exercises just like jogging.

Physical exercises have a good effect on mood. If you can convince yourself of doing some sports, you will feel better. It won't cure your depression, but it will make it easier.

I usually take this time to be alone. Or I cry to my husband about what I feel.

I don't like to talk about my depression to others basically.I used to think about my depression and hurt myself.Then,i'll be normal.

It's very difficult to handle depression when you don't have support. I understand how you feel. I also don't have support. I try to encourage myself when I feel alone. Positive self-talk. Do you also have anxiety?
