Life can be messy. Sometimes you need a little support to make your way through it. I love to help guide people through their challenges & to find the beauty in our messes.

No, but sometime just drinking tea or hot chocolate and listening to music or watching a movie can really help. ESPECIALLY if you have someone to cuddle with or skype etc, etc.

No, there is no quick-fix for depression... depression requires a long treatment, with the help of a therapist.
There's no quick-fix solution for depression, but it can be managed and eased in many ways , including exercise, counselling, medication, meditation, diet, group therapies, even simple outlets such as drawing or going for a walk. It is a case of finding a routine that works for you, as everyone is different. Friends and family can also be a great support network.
no there is never a "quick fix" for depression...................................................... (sorry for the dots)

There is no "Quick fix" for depression, Try to talk to someone you trust and try to overcome what the problem it.
No, there isn't a quick fix for depression. Depression is sadness over longer time and the person suffering from depression should see a therapist or talk too someone, depression is a serious problem that must be taken seriously and that person will need help over longer time.

There is no quick way to get over depression. That's going to take time and practice, you wont get over it straight away. Sorry if thats blunt but it's the truth. You will just need support from people around you and be able to talk to them. Over time it will get better, it may take long but it will be worth it in the end
Although I would have loved to say that there was an easy way to deal with depression, sadly the reality is that there is no quick-fix. Yet, it's not that it can't be fixed soon. If you have the intent to deal with it, then you will solve it.

No there are none sadly. But there are many things you can do to help combat depression. I think the best thing to do is find a friend that will support you.
No, there is no quick-fix for actual depression but there are definitely ways to manage and support yourself through it.

No, there is no quick-fix for depression. It takes a lot of time to over come depression. Sometimes you need more then just medications too get better. But theres only bandaids. No real quick-fix.
I don't think that there is a quick-fix for depression. I think it's something that just gets better over time if someone can learn how to help themselves out of it. It's complicated, it's not an easy thing to cure like a cold. It takes time and a lot of care for yourself.
I honestly do not think their is a quick-fix for depression. I mean, we can do tiny little things that make us feel better, but if we do not tackle the reason as to why we became depressed in the first place, it will always linger around. It's great to have a support group because that way the depression doesn't become too extreme. At the same time, depression does take time to get over and it varies for each and every person.
I don't believe there is any quick fix for depression, it is a lifelong struggle but you are not alone, and thankfully there are many ways to manage it. I suggest you try exercise and setting goal/reward systems for yourself. I also recommend you visit our depression support chat, and if it ever feels like its getting to be too much, speak to a professional.

That is only temporary relief. There are no quick-fixes. To relieve depression, it can take a long time to really heal.
Depression is a very complicated condition that has no magical quick fix; however, with treatment and a good support, getting better is very possible.
No. There are treatment options: therapy, medications, hospitalization, homeopathic, exercise, self help books, life coaches, prayer, and more. And even with treatment, you may never 'fix' depression. Some people have one episode of depression and some have multiple episodes throughout their lifetime.
While exploring treatment options, you may find options that help and some that don't. You may experience some personal growth.
