Essentially I logically talk myself out of being depressed by telling myself that feeling depressed accomplishes nothing other than making me feel bad.

Or, if all else fails, go give my dog a hug :)

you havn't experienced real depression if you were able to talk yourself out of it.

Drink expensive tequila, do a line, pay for a webcam session with a Thai tranny, and repeat the cycle

If that fails, head over to L&R. If that doesnt make you feel better, suicide is the only option.

LOL seriously this.

If your life is worse than the virgin of the week who posts "OMG.. some girl just looked at me.... i dont want to get married... what do i do... how do i know if she likes me or not" ... then... suicide is the only option.

I third this. Smoking sometimes makes me paranoid too, so that can make it worse.

For occasional recreation, ok, but don't do it too often so that you realized that you just smoked and played video games for the entire 3 days weekend :/


Also, for the guy that plays video games/watches a movie/ect to "escape reality," that can be good if you're in control of yourself and can moderate. Me, I play games all day because of the "high" I get, and plus its easy. I don't suggest doing it.

Like many of people have said, it's clinically proven that sunlight and exercise are natural antidepressants. I also believe, like many others have said, that going out and being social helps a lot too.

fk I really need to take my own advice. /wrists



Agreed. It's a short term fix, and after a while, you'll end up feeling worse than you started, especially after not getting shit done from being a pothead.

I can guess what he is thinking but he doesn't realize that many people live alone and may be self-employed and not have children and be seconds from committing suicide but their self talk got them out of it

after all... SELF-TALK is what creates depression.. you are your thoughts

Play Team Fortress 2 as a soldier...Exploding a few people with rockets is guaranteed to remove depression in 60 seconds.
