I generally just hang back and do the social recluse thing until it goes away. Talking to anyone in one of these moods is a sure-fire way to get them depressed as well. Can't help it.
It also does help to figure out whether there's any reason to you being depressed, or it just is one of these cases where 51 planets lined up in a triangle and then decided to go and screw with your mood because why the fuck not.

Well, everyone's different and copes in different ways. If it works fine than there's nothing with it.Iznat said:If I'm depressed, I cry, and I will cry for literally days. Fall asleep crying, wake up crying, having little teary mini fits with people.
I can't exactly go out like that, but if two or three days of crying and staying in/being with someone who'll deal with it really helps me, I find it's worth it.
When things get shitty I hold it all in until it gets too much, then everything's far worse than it should be, so I end up so upset. Though, since I'm a particularly emotional girl, this may or may not apply to everyone who reads this
OT: I have a list of songs that I'll usually go through, and then I'll play a very casual game or a game on a very easy difficulty just to wind down and relax.
Sorry for your lose, loosing family members never gets easier with time, I recently lost a very close friend and I've been asking everything I come across why it wasn't me, including my pillow, I miss Jackie very much.
Mrs Storage says I should confront my depression, whatever that means, I normally just chill out with a cigar and some good music.
I have a Cohiba Cigar right now and chilling out to some beautiful classical music
For Jackie!

All sorts.
Buy something nice. Sounds girly I know, but I mean a new gadget, new game. Heck, even just a nice bottle of single malt. Then plonk on some good music, then go talk to my favourite people. In that order, the "things" take the edge off - the goal is to cheer myself up not drag my friends down. Pretty much always works.
For stubborn cases, a good pissup and getting blind drunk with friends usually does the trick.

This works. Shooting things (providing you like it, but hey, we're gamers. Of course we like guns) really helps. Especially if you manage to find some automatic rifles.Jedoro said:
Or, and this may be frowned upon here, smoke some pot. 3 months ago I was in the worst place I've ever felt, and it was right at the end of high school. An ex of mine stole my friends. A lot of them.
One of my good buddies, one of the only friends I really had left, got me on weed. It seriously changed my life for the better. I have something to look forward too every other week, and it's made me a considerably happier person. Spend some time high with a friend, or (and personally, I find it better) spend some time alone doing a hobby like playing a game, or watching a movie you love whilst high.
Go to your local smoke shop, by a cheap pipe, have a friend teach you how to pack it, and take the time to learn how to properly smoke.
Usually, I go to a group chat and talk for a little bit. It distracts me, and people there make me feel better.
Coincidentally, I'm watching NHK right now and that is a God damn depressing series.somonels said:

Never had trouble with full blown depression. But sometimes I do get a little broody, I admit. If that happens, I either listen to some select music and/or watch a few episodes of Futurama; that never fails to help.
Or, and this is something I've taken a fancy to recently, I go outside, find myself a place with nice view, sit down, light an expensive cigar and just relax.

when i get depressed (which happens a lot now that my parents are getting divorced) i listen to music and take my bow for some archery.
I mope around for a bit and am generally obtuse until it goes away. Sometimes a dose of nostalgia can help unless it was the cause of the initial moping. If it was then I find it's best to go out and do something although I can rarely motivate myself to do that.
I lift weights and work when I'm depressed. Helps, and gets things done too. Its good to get your mind off things, and sports make you happy ^^ Added bonus is that I don't need to have any actual contact with people to do this
