I know that there's a particular song (or rather group of songs) that help me get up when I am down.

"Pulled up" by the Talking Heads (last song on the first album). David Byrne's almost frantic
delivery actually leaves him breathless by the end of the song.

There's some others but listen to that and get moving! See if that doesn't help.

I also found riding my bike thereapeutic. Then I found riding that bike long distances was
also thereapeutic. As many as 100 miles. I'm nuts, I know.

depression isnt always related to specific things one must remember. i used to get depressed and not be able to shake it, it didnt matter if things got better or changed or anything. i was "stuck" for lack of a better term. if never went away, i just understand it now which kind of makes it go away if that makes sense. tokk a long time...

if you are depressed about nothing in general and cant shake it you should see someone about it.

I'm usually either very happy or incredibly depressed. For others, I am optimistic, but for myself, I have a pessimistic view of things. Right now my life is depressing because of certain family problems, but I believe that things will always turn out fine. =]

Yes, you can say I live a depressing life.
However, I'm coming to terms with my depression. I finally accepted it as not being bad, but a part of life and this moment will pass. Usually something triggers my depression and other times, I'm just depressed for no reason.

I had a really bad episode so I decided to self-medicate(talking the mood enhancer: St. John's warts.) I discovered that being numb and feeling just okay about everything was worst off than being depressed.

I kinda over-dose on St. John's warts. I followed the instruction and took 3 pills a day, and it totally screwed me up. I lost my appetite. I felt fine, but everything was too neutral. I didn't have negative thoughts, but I couldn't really fully enjoy myself. I love listening to music, but listening to music became unsatisfying. I even tried thinking about negative thoughts, but I couldn't do it. I also lost my creative flare for creating art and writing.

After my St. John's warts experience, I discovered that life sucks but there are happy times also and I liked that I was an emotional basket-case.

I'm still insecure, I'm still hyper-shy, and at times I'm a maniac. finally at the ripe old age of 23 I accepted these emotions as colors of life.

I'm still closed in my shell, but I'm creeping out little by little.

I can't say that I live a depressing life, but I sure don't live a happy one either. It's pretty boring and dull. I failed to get into the university because of a stupid system my country uses to give extra credits, and now I'm forced to work for one year in a random place chosen by the government because of the fact that I'm a pacifist and didn't want to join the army. I'm only 18, give me a break. Earlier this year, my house burned to the ground, and I lost almost all of my possesions.
I live on the countryside, so there arent that many people to become friends with, so it's hard to get new ones ><. And I live in a country with a very small population, and people here have very conservative interests, so there are no chances for me to do the activities that I'm interested in. Not to mention the messed up, kind of corrupted school system here.

Over to the good stuff! xD
I live in a country with a superb welfare system. I have a family that loves me, and we have enough money to live a decent life. We received a nice amount of insurance money for the burnt down house Big Smile

I have great friends, and last I was lucky to be born in a peaceful country which has provided me with a good education (but as I mentioned, we have a messed up system, and also we have no extracurricular activitites, and a very small array of hobby-activities outside of school).
