You can try to visualize the world from another point of view, don't have to be so critical on yourself, seeing everything in a negative way can harm your mental healthiness, first try to indentify what's making you feel like this, then you can try to canalize this incomformity.
I find sharing how you feel with somebody close to you can help, don't keep things locked up inside, if you feel really bad try speaking to your GP (dr) he can point you in the right direction.
I have always found the running helps me, any for, of exercise releases endorphins which I like to call the happy hormone, try something new, find things you enjoy doing and do more of it. Life is so short and goes so fast, it's the little things that can help too like hugging somebody you care about, picking up the phone and calling somebody you haven't heard from in a while, all these things will help. Also talking helps, don't keep it inside tell people how you are feeling :-)
You just count the things that makes you feel depressed, then try to erase them from your life gradually, until you get rid of them all.
Get up get out of bet, and make some tea. Seven cups.com if need be! Just get up and do something even if you don't feel like it. Put something on your calendar, and just do it.

Speak to someone you trust about it. It could be your friend, family or even a professional like a doctor.
The best solution to depression is to figure out the reason behind it. why are you depressed? Answer this question. Figure out the problems. Try to find the solution to the reason which is causing you the depression. Find a friend who can help you to solve the problem and encourage you throughout the process. Its very important to have someone who can help you to get through. Stay strong and face your problems. Don't run away from them. Facing your fear and your problems can help you to get a better future. Be positive and don't lose hope. Be patient and try harder.
The best way to go about that is to go to your local nursing home and speak to the activities coordinator. They can provide you with the information you need.
look for something that can make you have emotions me for exemple i watch animes and play games that make me feel happy,sad ancious and so more (:

Keep your head up and don't let anyone get you down, you are your own person! You be you! Be the best person you can be, and you can only get better if you absolutely want to. Show the world that you are a wonderful person! Build yourself up, it's okay to let yourself go sometimes. As long as you know you can pick yourself right back up again!

Depression is not something you can solve, its a misunderstood illness, seek help, it works, my personal experience has shown me that it will rear up and affect so many areas of your life, and as much as the people around you want to help, depression has so much stigma that often they don't know how to help. A professional you feel comfortable will allow you to explore what's causing you to feel the way you do, and in time you'll be able to accept the things that have happened to you and begin moving forward. But just know its not something that will be solved over night, you need to be dedicated and willing to explore the depths of your soul.
seek professional help and maybe get prescribed some anti depressants or talk to someone you know very well and that you can trust
First step is to try and get some counciling, perhaps arrange an appointment with your doctor and talk about it. Or talk to a trusted person, whether it be your mum,dad,friend,cousin . Ect.
Relax, Clear your mind, control your thoughts and emotions. Its sound hard but it can be easily achieved by meditation and yoga.

First off, cheer up sweetie, there is no need to mope about and be sad for the rest of your life, go out and explore
Depression is a complex thing and can be occurring for many different reasons. It also depends how clinically depressed you are that will determine your response time for recovery. You can always message me privately for gradual advice, active listening on my end and to vent. :)

When you are experienceing depression, you should try to get out the house more or carry on doing what did/does make you happy. A lot of people stp doing things like these because some people stop doing what they enjoy becuase they are depressed but stoped doing it on their own terms, thinking it was depression when it was actually all them. If you carry on doing what you like sometimes you can manage to "run" from depression, but if it is not working, and you are not feeling any better, go find a doctor and tell them how you feel. they can help!

If I were you I would speak with a counselor, they will help you tremendously, they always help me .
I think the best thing to do is just to talk to someone about it. Either one of your close friends, someone in your family or go to a trained guidance counsellor and just talk to them and get them to give you ways to help you. Every morning when you wake up just think of a bunch of things to be grateful for and just remember everything is temporary and if you kill yourself or do anything now it wont be worth it because in a few months or years it will all be in the past and will seem miniscule.
I want you to talk to your family about it. then they can help you. I know you might be scared to say something, but It works.

Surround yourself with people who make you laugh, try to indulge yourself in activities that you love for instance reading,writing,drawing, or listen to music that you want to feel like. So if your depressed listen to an upbeat song, but if all of this doesn't work try talking to your family doctor they want to help; and remember to smile.

Find something that you love to do, despite your depression. Speak do your doctor and do not be afraid! Always remember that you are not alone!
Depression is something really personal. If you think you might suffer from it talk to someone you trust. Remember that we are always there to listen, too.
If you are searching for help you might concider talking to a psychologist or a doctor.
Involve yourself in something which requires you to be active , don't spend a lot of time alone , surround yourself with the people you love :)
Try to explore new things and exercise , it keeps negative thoughts away .
Talk to your local councilor... I had bad depression when I was in high school and it was only when my friend told me to go that I went.... It helped me so much. They were so much help!
Be sure to take it day by day and know depression is a process to get through. It will always help to have a group of people with you that will support and let you know that you are not alone in this. Be open to trying different things and finding ways to cope with depression triggers. YOU CAN DO IT! :)
Breathe, first of all. Now the most important thing is that you don't ignore or hide your depression. You don't need to be rid of it immediately. Your first step is to manage it. Talk to people, walk in the park, smile, eat ice cream. You are not your depression. You are you : ) And you are amazing.
Depression is hard and can be very long if you let it be, no one wants to be stuck in that black hole, especially all alone, find someone to talk to wether it be online or face to face, relax and surround yourself with good memories and keep yourself busy, that will ward the demons off, and don't always look down, it's prettier when you look up, xxx
seek help! depression can be lonely, but it doesn't have to be. talk to someone you trust. be honest about how you are feeling. look into threapy

First thing, don't fret: Change comes slowly, but steadily. Depression robs you of your time, yes... But it will also help you empathize more, you will find yourself able to better understand human feelings, once you pass through. Remember, you don't beat depression: you simply pass through it. It is not an enemy, it is a (failing) emotional mechanism. One which you can, again slowly, understand and reorganize. Key word: Reorganize.
