Bungie depression help
[b][i][u]Enjoy the little things in life:[/u][/i][/b] I try to dwell on the good things no matter how small. Be it the the sound and smells of a rainstorm, the sun on you back, the cool sheets of your bed... Enjoy them.
[b][i][u]Listen to the right music:[/u][/i][/b] I listen to music that calms me (ODST soundtrack) and music that uplifts me (EDM, Electro, other happy things)
[b][i][u]Use your imagination:[/u][/i][/b] I let myself imagine entirely new worlds that I take part in, beautiful ones, exciting ones, interesting ones, and most of all... Happy worlds... (Helps if you listen to music)
[b][i][u]Find a hobby you love:[/u][/i][/b] I love to play video games and build maps (Far Cry 3 has a superb editor) so I play games often. Another hobby for me is stories, be it writing or reading them I love it... Therefore I write a lot and read a lot!
[b][i][u]Talk to people:[/u][/i][/b] Now this doesn't have to mean make new friends, but to go do something in society. Find a group of people you can hang out with (Clubs, rec teams, fantasy football leagues, game nights, colleagues, etc.).
[b][i][u]Go out:[/u][/i][/b] This one is pretty simple, just go outside. Even if you stay in your yard, the outside world can make you feel much better. Although going into public helps. Just being surrounded by other people let's you not feel so alone, and you might even meet other people.
[b][i][u]Ask your doctor:[/u][/i][/b] Some depression is very serious and actually does require medical attention, so ask your doctor what is right for you. Take into consideration how long you have been depressed and for what reason.
[b][i][u]Vent:[/u][/i][/b] Find a place where you can dump you load safely. It may sound useless but just talking about it really helps.
For all who read this I hope for the best of luck for you and that you will overcome any depression you may find yourself in!

Nice post.

All good advice, but I found the delivery a little cold, sorry

All good advice.

That first one nailed it. Appreciate the smaller things. I quit drinking 18 months ago and lost most my friends because their life revolves around alcohol. Has it been hard? Absolutely but in September of 2013 I was in the hospital for my stomach. I had a chance to think about what mattered. For me the small thing is the wonderful relationship I have with my nephew. Find your small happiness and soon it will engulf you in an amazing way.

I'm glad you managed to overcome that, it's a rut that can not only drag you down but absolutely consume you. Not to mention it will improve your relationship with your nephew most likely. Overall I'm really proud of you and wish you the best of luck.

Thank you very much for your kind words. I am already seeing the benefits. When I hang out with my nephew I always have a smile on my face.
