What do you do when you're depressed?

[Epistaxis]

What do I do?

Work out more.

What do I wish I could do?

A cratefull of handgrenades would be fun.

When I'm depressed I usually create something. Whether it is music, art, cooking, building, or any sort of task. Just do something that keeps you thinking about the next step. Best advice I really have.

Sorry about your friend. I never really get depressed, but i would suggest trying something new. Something far and away from your usual norm.

good luck.

i play with my dogs, play shooters on line, have a beer, have a smoke, and if all else fails I do work around the house. regardless I am just getting my mind off of whatever has got me down.

Mix Prozac, liquor and weed. Works for me.

A guy I went to high school with passed away this past Saturday. He had a heart attack and he was only 29 or 30.

It's crazy when people you know and grew up with are no longer here, especially at such a young age. I know what you are going through.

sorry to hear it Cat..and sorry about your friend too.

usually time and lots of distractions is what works the best for me. Surround yourself with friends if you can, I can't because I have none...but you have many....and try to keep busy having fun.

Cat, I am sorry about your friend.

When I'm depressed, I usually go to sleep. Somehow, things look better after I've given my body (and my heart) a little rest.

[Mr. Scot]

Lost a co-worker and good friend who was only 32 a while back (heart failure).

At the funeral, his widow knelt in front of the casket, wailing, crying and begging for him to come back to her.

Easily one of the saddest things I ever saw.

I get very introspective after things of that sort.

[Guest]

I'm really sorry for your loss. That sucks.

To help cope, I would do things that my friend and I did together, or that the friend would want me to do. I could imagine such a friend saying "dont waste time moping around, do this this and this. You can, I can't."

I also think if you did something that you and your friend did together, it could be cathartic for you, and also be an honor to the friend. $0.02.

[TarPanther9180]

When losing someone close to me (which has happen way too many times), I remind myself that they are in a better place and I try to celebrate their life that they lived. That's what I want my friends to do when I pass.
