For some people might be important to know what others do to get out of a depression. Sometimes it's helpful to see what other do... it might help you a lot! I guess we all had one of those at a certain point.... So... what did you do to feel better? Did you watch a comedy, or... went out in a club? or called 911?

I do not have depression but I know people who do. Do not play on line games, do not do gambling, do not watch trillers. Valunteer for animals, children etc, watch comedy, invite someone for dinner. Get cat or dog. Go and professional help

online games? what's that have to do with it? perhaps some enjoy doing this.. and eventually might be helpful.. even though you might end up without money in your pockets

I think he's probably talking about online gambling type games where you might be prone to loose your money -- not sure but that's my guess. Losing money would not help at all.

Are you talking about sadness or true depression? If you are talking about just being sad for a day or two, I watch funny shows on TV or go for a walk in the woods or just get out and get fresh air. If you are talking about true depression -- which is usually characterized by serious sadness over several weeks or months, usually along with other symptoms, then you need to seek professional help. I have experienced this and needed medication and therapy to bring me out of it.
