-yes, exercise is one of the best ways
- eat chocolate
- read self-help or inspirational books
- hang out with happy people, stay away from pessimistic people
- get a pet, ex. a dog (like, a chihuahua or any toy dog)
- get a make over
- go to the spa
- watch feel good movies

A person suffering from depression should have BOTH medical intervention AND counselling.

hello! i'm currently being treated for depression. I am doing counseling and medications. dati almost every other day ako nagcoucounseling. ngayon super bihira na. i was diagnosed with depression a year ago. totoo na exercise does help. medically proven na yan. google mo na lang. my psychotherapist recommends meditation at sabi niya mas maganda daw kung meditation is with exercise, so sabi nya try ko daw yoga or tai chi.

i'm also trying acupuncture right now. i did my first session this week. sabi ng acupuncturist ko, every 2 weeks daw dapat and then after that once a month.

my mom experienced anxiety disorder/depression..as in sobra...

akala ko di na cya gagaling.. pero through the help of her doctor from UST and the medicine shes taking gumaling na cya..
impt is family support.. never nmin cyang iniwan as in take turns kami sa pag kausap sa kanya kahit maubos leave nmin sa office.. puro positive lang pinag uusapan nmin.. everyday before my dad go to office he accompany mom sa church..
tpos from there unti unti cya naka recover tpos she kept her self busy joining sa mga legion of mary..bible study...

mostly family support..

for now umiinom pa rin cya ng gamot pero nakarecover na cya happy disposition n ulit cya..

talk to a trusted friend. hang out with happy people, bond with your friends.

go shopping.

treat yourself to some ice cream or any of your favorite restaurant.

[luckyghel]

[Heavenly_Bliss]

consult a psychiatrist for proper medication and counseling.. Continue taking your meds.. Your support system that includes your family and friends plays a big role as well.. Think positive na gagaling ka..

i have a friend who suffered from depression years ago. she was advised to busy herself: enroll herself in gm class or any class that would interest her, be with people she loves or who are important to her, think happy thoughts(this i believe is the most difficult to do).

i hope everyone of you who's dealing with depression will soon get over the phase.

i'm suffering from depression and anxiety attack too. i'm trying to keep myself busy as much as possible, dahil pag idle mind ako dun ako sinusumpong. grabe in a snap of a finger nagbabago ang moods ko. ang hirap hirap. nangyari to sakin due to traumatic events in my life. sana magkaroon tayo ng support group dito sa Gt..

Exercise talag is one of the best ways to stay healthy. I did a lot of exercise durign the time that I was super down (depressed).

well have yourself diagnosed first what clinical condition you may have. it will help what with the medicine rx.

me i just take my meds faithfully, i has helped naman a lot. and try to keep yourself busy and preoccupied. it will take away your sad thoughts.
