When you are so down meaning your spirits are so low...,how do you uplift yourself? it's quite depressing in this life and I just don't know how to uplift myself. I don't know how to make myself happy anymore.

if you could evaluate what ur problems are and what's causing the depression in your life you could think of ways or possibly do things that would make u feel better or get ur mind off the matter. When you feel bad do something that'd make you feel better. When im depressed i just take out my motorbike and go out for a ride. That's my anti-depressant. See what works for you and do it.

When I'm feeling depressed it usuall a good idea for me to fin an outlit to express those feelings. This outlit is different for every person, and it usually helps them feel much better. For me it's writing..I'll put all my anger, my sadness, my pain into my stories, my characters. Other time I'll get into some of my obsessions or hobbies..like I'll watch my favorite tv shows all night long til I feel better, or I'll begin reading and reading books I love til I fall asleep..like I said, it all depends on the person. When I'm at the lowest of the lows, I've always found though, that it's best to talk about it. Either with someone you lvoe or trust or with a paid professional..someone who can help and you don't have to worry about listening to. Talking above all else helps.

think of the best thing that would make you happy and do it. or eat chocolates! it's scientifically true that chocolates somehow makes us happy. if you're depressed or if you have a certain problem, don't just keep it to your self, talk to a good friend about that and always think that everything will soon be fine

I have read your profile and also your thoughts on discussion. I think I can help you. First about me, I am a professor in India and certainly much elder than you and also much active. I have been experiencing life since my birth and one thing is sure that life is an asmixure of happyness and sadness. For sadness we call it problems and gets nervous and loose out energy and finally loose life. I welcome you to talk to me and I think I can sooth your problems. Remember problems is mainly due to psychologycal pressure or social pressure. I have been solving the problems of my students and I am quite successful. Dont worry I dont charge. Your happiness is my income.

Whenever I'm down, I get a haircut. I could just feel the negative energy being removed with the hair that get snipped.
