I normally just ignore it. It doesn't work for most people, but it's worth a try.

Find yourself a hobby? I mean I never went through any serious depression, but when I feel bad I usually draw. After a few hours and many sketches later, I feel so much better. I don't know, focusing on my hobby makes me feel better.

End of semester..
Sig made by me, want one? Pm me, don't expect something really fancy though.

This is actually a good way, well you have to surprisingly, not rely on the thought of just things laying out perfectly in front of you, get all your options straight and make it right somehow
You have to learn how to live happily

Whenever I'm depressed or sad I just sit alone by myself and think. Anything that comes to mind really (which is mostly sad stuff). Remarkably, it clears my head and helps me feel normal. I don't know if it'll help you or not, but it's something to try I guess. You probably just have to find your own preference or way to cope with it.

NEVAR FORGET.

Here, i'll give you a list of ideas.

1. Masturbation.
2. Getting laid.
3. Acid/shrooms.
4. Weed.
5. Start a band
6. Make a mini movie.
7. Just keep yourself busy and enjoy life.

I am in no way promoting the use of drugs...but one good trip would send you depression straight to the garbage dump.

Hey, I dont know about anyone else, but we all have bouts of depression, especially when things dont want to come together. I personally, had many a reason to be depressed, and for a long time, couldnt shake feeling sad and desperately alone. i wnet so far as to make myself feel more sad by watching soppy movies and generally just beating myself up by telling myself stuff I knew would make me feel worse. At some point, I get pissed off at myself for doing all of that to myself and would try to find ways to make myself feel better. Firstly, I would tell myself that no matter how bad something may seem to me at that point in time, someone was far worse off, which in a sick way, made me feel better. Something else that I found that REALLY helped was directing my attention elsewhere(Like watching something that would make me laugh my ass off), or dive into my hobby of drawing(which I found I did better when I was more focused). Things that work for one person may not work for others, so dont eat up every scrap someone says, but just take it and kind of meld it together with everyone else's POSITIVE responses and try to find what will work best for you. No one but you knows you, and you can figure out what will make you happy. The only real advice I have to give you is this: do something that you know will make you happier, even if its a little bit happy, whether its walking, playing a video game or something that takes you oustside reality for just a little bit. Ya never know, it might be just the break you need from your everyday life that will help steer you toward not being so sad and more towards happiness. If you want to talk to someone, just PM me, I know you said you feel uncomfortable talking, but if you ever do, just let me know!

Exercise.

Being inside, on the computer, is the worst thing you could possibly do.

I think computer gave me depression.

I feel depressed, all the time.

But whenever I exercise I feel awesome for that whole day.

If you are depressed:
1. go for a walk
2. start living your dream
3. donate money for poor people
4. sing a song
5. forget number five
6. bang you head against the wall.
7. call your friends and ask them if they would like to come at your house to have a party

If you're still depressed, go sleep. That helps.

my suggestions would be:

-see if your gay (give it a test drive)
-see if your wife isnt good enough for you (this may piss her off though :l)
-slit your wrists (if anyone asks, it was to see if you can feel)
-SEX
-BEER
-POT
-thearapy

if all of the above fails, i would suggest going to a halfway home and a detox clinic.

First things first. If you need to talk to someone, message one of the users on Newgrounds. It's anonymous so you don't have to be afraid of it coming back to your home life, I recommend myself, because I are the awesome at listening, and Cally because I know she's cool.

So, my recommendation, is try to eat healthy. Drink some green tea, go for a walk after you've had some green tea and your nice meal. Pet a cat or a dog. Listen to the birds whistle. Scream at the top of your lungs. Break some windows in an abandoned house.

You never really explained where your anxiety is coming from, so all I can say is that there are only so many variables that could possibly cause what ever it is that is making your life miserable. Try to cut out whatever is negatively effecting you the best you can. If you have a tough home life, or you had some really bad experiences when you were younger.

Everyone's had bad or terrible things happen to them, it's about learning to cope. I myself have a dull roar always going on in my head on repeat. I am so use to it, I don't even notice the horrible things it's able to come up with sometimes. I am use to it though and while half the time it's saying "why don't you just jump off the balcony" the other half is saying "I love you".

And remember! Somewhere some kid is trapped in some freaks basement getting molested everyday, so your life can't be too bad.

Anything that you enjoy doing. That what I like to do, if I'm unhappy I just let the anger wear off as I do something I enjoy. like many others have said: Jack off.

Read books/comics/television. Makes you forget about yourself for a while, when you are fully concentrated. Don't work forever, though. I mean, you can't walk around everywhere with a book.. What about, like, planning a project? Build a small house of random planks you find in the woods?

In other words, get busy.

I say is indulge. A vice seems like the easiest way to relieve stress or depresion. It might not be the best way, though. People can be your vice. Having someone at your side to talk to or a friend you can jam with after school is great. It's what keeps me rocking out loud. Try it sometime!
