Top 10 Best Things to Do to Help Deal with Depression

Sometimes I start to feel really unhappy, but I always try to overcome it. It doesn't always work, but as long as I try, I feel like I'll be okay. - Elric-san

It's not that easy.

I constantly have to remind myself that it will be okay - Brobusky

If only it were that easy

"Professional help" is not a school guidance counselor or psychologist. To actively get depression treated, you should go to an actual neurologist that can provide a medication which will help you control it and seek happiness. - DCfnaf

Even though it's really hard to never give if you get help it can help you cope with your depression and manage it on your own which makes it easier to not give up - Blessthehorizon

I saw a therapist a few times and she was useless. The only people who can help you is you and maybe some really close friends or family. Not some random stranger you go to for an interview every two weeks. - Catlover2004

You are not the only one feeling these things, everyone's through it - lubbock98

This is true. You’re not alone. You’re never alone. I always feel alone, but I realize that so many others are going through the same hardships that I go through every day. I know that there are people who care about me, even when I feel unloved. So please, don’t commit suicide, even if you feel rejected, because there are people who care about you and love you. - Hermione_Granger220

I’m not alone, and nothing feels like home.

I constantly am doing something, just to keep the crushing emotions away.

My depression is a gentleman. He taps me on the shoulder when I'm not occupied and says (in a British accent) "Oh, I see that you're not doing anything. Here, worry about everything and think horrible things to fill your time." Of course this is personification, but that's basically what happens. And it's not fun. You really should keep yourself occupied. Read a book, draw, let out your anger by shouting at dragons in Skyrim, anything really. - Merilille

I struggled with depression, going to the gym helped me stay busy, when I wasn't at school, I was at the gym, because naturally it makes you feel good and helps relieve stress. - Stevenuniversefangirl

A woman I know once told me, “You’re Not trapped in this moment forever. A lot of girls feel like they’re trapped in an eternity of pain and depression, but they’re not. You’re just in one tiny blimp of the rest of your life. There’s hope, so just hold on a little longer.” - Hermione_Granger220

Yes, please do this

I often feel like no one loves me. But I know it’s not true.

Although it depends because then it could make someone more depressed. - DarkBoi-X

Be thankful for what you have, it could always be worse
