when ever i'm blue......i look ant angel's pictures......

when feeling the blues i do something i really enjoy like read a book or play with the cat.or i watch the news and realize i'm way better off then most.

Glad to be of service!

Take a walk, the exercise increases seratonin levels in your body, put only comedies on the tv, never sit in the dark, light everything up, do not listen to depressing music, keep it upbeat, etc.... if none of that works after a week or two, see a doc about it. HTH

Oh yea and alcohol is a depressent do no use it to shake off the blues.

yep

You know what else does?

I checked your profile and note you state that you have mood swings. You need to see a doctor. It is possible that you are eating unhealthy.have too much responsibility, are working too hard, or any number of things. However, it is also possible that you have a mental health problem. So, don't get amateur help; see a doctor.

That sounds absolutely scary. It's just that I've got too many things in my hand right now but I always ( I try ) to look at things positively. :)

I am sorry. It really isn't scary. You might find you have a chemical imbalance because you are not eating properly or because you are overworked or whatever. If it is a mental issue, the doctor will prescribe medication for you. In many instances patients only need to take medication for a short period of time.

I have suffered through serious depressive bouts my entire adult life, and have learned the best way to treat it is through positive thinking, which takes practice and can be frustrating, but which changes one's outlook in the long term.

In the short term, my best advice is to keep your mind busy with something that will distract you. Talking about it does wonders also.

I can take it down there, which means it'll be less work for you, as you're not talking of depression. I heard a term years ago, called "contrary action", which simply means taking an action in opposition to a condition. When I don't feel like working, or even getting out of bed, that means I must. It's that simple. After putting that first foot forward, each step gets easier. Self-pity is not exactly a trait that I can tolerate in myself, no matter what the circumstances, as it is very paralyzing. When I'm in that state, I do something in direct opposition to the cause. The attempt itself often is enough to break the spell and life goes on, but sometimes it takes more than one attempt.

What? I have to stop snorting sugar? The hell you say!

go out to a club or somepace with a lot of energy and let the problem go away during the fun

or be like me n have playlists n playlists of songs that can take u from any mood to any other mood haha

An illness from the neck up really isn't any different than one from the sinuses down. It's more of a matter of how we treat it. As for the "stigma", well, it really doesn't exist, unless we're suffering from it. Take for example, an alchoholic. Speaking as one who is about 211 hours away from being 5 years sober, I'd be more inclined to think the stigma or shame only really exists if I were drinking, knowing full well it is a problem for me. I always get a chuckle out of people who are deathly afraid of alchoholics. It's the drunks they should really be afraid of.
