how does one deal with depression?

See your family doctor ASAP.

Know the source and reason. This is most important. Without knowing the why, moving forward is impossible. If it can be immediately altered, do so. Understand the physiology behind it; it is a chemical imbalance. Vitamin supplements (B12/complex, folic acid, D and daily OJ are good starts) may help reduce the effects, along with proper diet and exercise. Cry if you need to. Talk to someone, if you can. Vent, somehow. Discussion forums exist for this reason. You cannot force someone out of depression. Simply "cheering up" is not how it works. I think depression is a symptom of a subconscious self-examination. You don't "deal with depression", you work through it.

1. Understand reasoning & physiology.
2. Immediately alter the source.
3. Improve diet & exercise.
4. Discuss it with others. Be open about it.
5. Change your wardrobe. Improve your image.
6. Create new goals and work toward them daily.
7. Continue to read and understand depression through varying avenues.
8. Laugh, to the best of your ability.


depressioncomix, akimbocomics, hyperboleandahalf all have excellent projections of what it means to actually feel depression. They also touch on fatalism and apathy, which go hand-in-hand with depression.


Some people say pray. I think it has varying effects.

Don't lecture them when they are ready to talk, just listen.

i get depression from time to time due high expectation and pressure . it's hard when you are not given option to be successful your own terms and always some expectation set for you. i learned over the years to compromise. i love chemistry and since i remember i wanted to be researcher . but i had to do 4 years islamic study , memorized the quran, studied hadeeth, seerah etc. i thought i had to give up my dream to wear white rope in lab and do my researches!

alhamdullilah, im finishing my 4 years and going to chemistry major next september. life getting brighter in my eyes now, even havent start yet. hope is really something to live for.

pray much, and if you had to see your doctor. i did it and gave me mood adjustment, i didnt take it tho. im scared of medications. i may take it once i do research pro and con.

If you land yourself a babe to put her lips on you my friend, she will banish the blues.

On topic:

I had a bad case of misery in my youth, but a short trip to a hooker put a smile on my face. In Xamar too. She wore a veil and had henna on her clit. The best kind walaal.

Have you tried henna pusssy?
