by Arisztid on December 7th, 2007
Stop eating and isolate myself as much as possible.
by Anonymous on December 15th, 2007
I eat and cook and eat and bake and eat and order take out and eat some more.
by Indigo- in the library with the revolver on December 7th, 2007
I binge eat, smoke, pop pills, drink any alcohol I find sitting around, cut myself, and refuse to sleep until I pass out accidentally. Sometimes I go through periods of starving myself.
Though if I get deeper into it, I do sleep -- all day and with the help of more pills.
God, I feel like such a wreck. :(

stop eating and stay in bed.... cry, write self-hating remarks and poetry... plot suicide and ponder the pros and cons of it... become physically ill and I claw my skin up.
by Anonymous on December 8th, 2007
It's not that I starve myself, I just never become hungry. About a year ago, I had a three month's depression (light one, no need for worry), and I've lost like 7kg:/

by Hayels on June 5th, 2008
I binge eat. On carbs as well which makes it even worse
by Zack on March 28th, 2008
I do my Answerbag marathon and not sleep for 2 days.
by Merfish on March 23rd, 2008
I work in the yard if I can, fresh air seems to help. If I can't get outside I pick a project to work on until I forget what depressed me, alot of cleaning nooks and crannies goes on when I am depressed.
by Zack on March 23rd, 2008
Answerbag seems to be an outlet for that and talking to Gabstar helps too.
by katespana on March 23rd, 2008
I hate feeling depressed but it happens sometimes. I try to force myself to get out of the house and walk or ride my bike. GEnerally, a walk will help. Or I call a friend and have a chat, or arrange to meet someone. And, I pray. I always pray/meditate and try to contact the Source and allow joy to flow freely through me again.
by Trisha Had her baby on December 8th, 2007
I sleep, but since i can't do that anymore cuz i have a kid to take care of and he needs me awake i clean, so i make my self feel alittle better about my house. Then i feel acomplished in some way.
by Joeisme333 is a pastafarian on December 7th, 2007

Mumble to myself and curse a lot.
by Vannie prays for babycakes . on June 5th, 2008
Binge eat ... I know that's bad :-) !
by quack is whack on June 5th, 2008
I stare blankly and do virtually nothing. Sometimes I'll mindlessly snack but I also go through phases of feeling too badly to eat.
by technios on June 5th, 2008
i try to find out what thumb i am under
by Penal Colony is wicked marrying Andy on June 5th, 2008
In the "old days", I would typically escape my depression with alcohol and/or drugs. In the past few years though, that stuff remains strictly recreational rather than medicinal.
When I'm depressed nowadays, I simply mope around, watch a lot of sad movies and listen to sad music, and spend a lot more time talking to my close friends and family. I also make an effort to indulge in creative hobbies, painting, photography, music. It doesn't always help, but it keeps my mind off of more unpleasant thoughts.
by Pandora Disgraced on March 29th, 2008
Negatives: Dwell a lot on my own faults, blame myself for everything that goes wrong, have self-destructive fantasies involving myself being hurt or degraded, post journal entries about how shameful I think my existence is, think suicidal thoughts.
Positives: Talk about my feelings with my husband and/or friends who will show me my self-hate is irrational. Play video games, work on web or writing projects. Spend my day trying to help someone else so I don't think so much about my worthlessness. Find stories or webcomics or other silly things on the 'net to cheer me up.
by totally_confused on March 29th, 2008
i overeat, drink too much, get drunk and then write stupid text messages to people that have made me feel like shit!!! the next day i wake up and feel even worse about myself so i eat some more, stay in bed, cry, cry, cry and just think what a wasteful shit i am and how i cannot appreciate how great my life is!!!
i am at the 'morning stage' at this very moment... regretting emails and messages send when i was drunk last night! Just on my way to get some food... :-(((
thats just pathetic
by The Wise Guy on March 28th, 2008
I drink...smoke... I eat alot when I drink so comes with it.
by DA BEN DAN yanggui zi on March 28th, 2008
ROTFLMAO--I can't believe DR'd for this...WOW must be one bored troll out there today:):)...I guess someone likes me better awake. I really am laughing over this one.
by zazzy_one on March 28th, 2008
I stay in bed, but if I HAVE to leave it, I probably do shoddier work than normal.
by katydid15 on March 28th, 2008
Watch tv.
by Tigger on March 28th, 2008
i watch tv...
or i just stare into space and dream of ways i can get away with cutting myself
fortunatley i resisted the usrge for over 2 years now :) so i remember that and how proud i am of that fact and watch more TV, if im down i eat chocolate, but not in depressed mode, i dont feel hungry
by Gabstar on March 24th, 2008
i don't think ive ever really let myself get to the point where i could call myself depressed, cause before i get to that stage, i always go running to that special person to help me out :)
by Tinkerbell on December 30th, 2007
Cut myself off from the World... I couldn't bare anyone seeing me in that way. Everyone only see's the 'happy-go-lucky' fun side of me, always organised and in control. I wouldn't want anyone to see the weepy, emotional wreck of a person I become when I'm down. Plus, I'm usually the rock that everyone needs when they are having a hard time, I couldn't show them my weakness, they wouldn't be able to turn to me again in the future? I know it shouldn't be this way... BUT HEY THAT'S DEPRESSION ;-)
by Talimze on December 15th, 2007
I tend to sleep a lot. I will go straight to bed as soon as I get home from school and stay there until I need to get up and go back to school, then my day will be the same as the last. If it's the weekend, I'll just stay in bed all day. On average I'm like this for three days, I guess, and the longest this has ever lasted is about two weeks.
I also don't eat during these times, so I guess I starve myself as well.
by labeeb xaman on December 15th, 2007
starve and walk in the room
by Sarah M on October 27th, 2009
This may sound strange but I will put in a sad movie and really experience that feeling.
I am rarely depressed and I have a morbid kind of fascination with that emotion.
I tend to savor it while it's there.
by sm00z on October 27th, 2009
I stock up on videos and keep myself entertained until the depression goes away.
by Anonymous on October 27th, 2009
If you mean how do I act/what things do I do, then I usually try and stay away from people, do very little that's productive, stay in bed for long periods of time, cry a lot, shout a lot and don't eat much.
If you mean how do I try and motivate myself out of it... I don't. The idea never comes to mind.
by Drastic on November 6th, 2008
I write music...or, something that sounds like music.
by Mistake on August 20th, 2008

I'ma chronic answerbagger when I'm down.
by FadingxSmiles on October 27th, 2009
I read, I listen to music, I write, and I watch TV.
Anything to keep my mind off of the source of the depression.
Which is better--Lexapro or Effexor?

Is it always necessary to be so mean? Do we get pleasure out of tearing into someone who is already down?
