The rain has lasted three days. It seems that the sun won't come out again. It makes me gloomy. I don't want to do anything. When do you usually do when you get depressed?

When I get depressed I like to crawl into bed with a good book and maybe some munchies. It hasn't rained here forever, I would welcome an hour or so of it, but 3 days... I don't think so.

Reading a good book is an idea, Do you often read books? What book do you like reading?

I love to read books, it is sort of a "mental vacation," for me. I will read anything but my favorites are good crime mysteries that really make me try to figure it out. I also love to read books about other countries and cultures, it is a good way to learn a little more about other people and how they think. That's probably why I like mylot so much, we are such a diverse community.

There are a number of remedies, but I guess all or none may work, for it depends upon the state of one's mind when one is depressed. A few obvious suggestions.... I try and read a book that may take me away from my somber mood, or ..... I try and go out, but if I can't then I sit with my family, chat with them, watch the television with them, play games - cards, maybe fun games, try and get them to joke around and ..... If alone, then I try and think about the pleasant things in my life ... this can be quite difficult if you are depressed, I know.... If I am with my spouse, well lovemaking is one of the best cures for most ailments.... I'd do anything that I think would help me to change the state of my mind..... Life's Lovely! Love & Live Life! Live & Let Live!

I'll try your suggestions. One's feeling depends on herself.

I released my hypertension by writing poem for myself. I drain out high pressure through my fingers by working at my computer and I published it on internet, sometimes I prepare video slide just through simple program by using Piasa3. My proof of my saying; Parts from many poems are the following; 1. Poems Once Spoken Never Broken - http://www.myebook.com/index.php?option=ebook&id=14391 2. Little Bit Little Do - http://www.myebook.com/index.php?option=ebook&id=14294 VIDEO Self Motivation Due "Ring of Recession" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zfHRizP_5g So I am safe from any kind of depression and its kinda.

When i get depressed, i play computer games. In that way, my attention will be focused on the game i am playing. After a while I forget the things that made me feel depressed.

Eh, nothing. When I'm depressed I can't motivate myself to be busy and get things done a lot of the time. Although I don't find the rain depressing.
