It's not healthy. When I get in this funk my best friend literally makes me go out with her and I always feel so much better. Find yourself one good friend that you are comfortable talking to and make plans to go out with them and don't back out. You need to talk and someone to hear you not just on paper. Just being out and with someone will brighten your day and mood! Take care of yourself and try to get past it or it will consume you.....</p> Hey Girl, Been there, done that! It’s not healthy.

Antidepressants do work, and counseling helps. Don’t hesitate to go to a psychologist or psychiatrist! Both can help. Don’t let the “blues” keep you from going–that’s when you need to go the most.

Two things I do–frequent exercise plus vitamins, ginseng, and gingko biloba daily.

This is just advice–but believe me, I lived 15-20 years of depression before I found the 9-10 things I can do to help avoid depression.

You reached out with this blog, so you can reach out more. Find a counselor, i.e., one you like!–try them out and decide for yourself.

Millions of Doctors would be out of business if that were true. Also, you don't know how they are going to "snap." Might be pretty ugly. My daughter is Bi-polar. She has her good days and bad days. For her, medication is needed, but not for everyone. For some, depression is temporary. </p><br /><br /><p>Ms. Fish, I hope you have good days ahead.</p><br /><br /><p>Sure hope "Tom" isn't reading this blog!! We KNOW what HE would say....</p> First of all, Ms. Tink, you never say “Snap out of it” to someone who is depressed…..NEVER! Millions of Doctors would be out of business if that were true.

Ms. Fish, I hope you have good days ahead.

Sure hope “Tom” isn’t reading this blog!! We KNOW what HE would say….

It kinda bothers me. Sometimes I attribute it to living in NY. Other times, I don't know what.</p> I feel like I’ve become complacent. It kinda bothers me. Sometimes I attribute it to living in NY.
