Sarryberry420 answered Sunday August 16 2009, 1:35 am: I'm a very depressed person and I've been to therapy, and tried taking pills...but I think the best thing to do to help get over your depression is to just keep yourself busy. Keep your mind on positive things that don't let your mind wonder off to what you're upset about. Just keep doing something productive!

There are mental health clinics that give discounts to people who can't afford the normal price of therapy. It goes by income most of the time. Usually if your income is very low, they just give it to you for free altogether. Chances are they'll try to prescribe you something because they can't always help you every second and the pills can help you until your next session. You can't ask for help & then refuse the only known methods that will be given. That's a little ridiculous.
In the meantime, get yourself a journal. Everytime you feel sad, go write in your journal. I can guarantee that writing your feelings down will help you sort them out & it'll also make you feel a lot better. I did that when I was younger & suffering from depression, and it really helped me. :) You also need to surround yourself with positive things. Being around the negative will never make you feel any better. You can also try turning to a friend when you feel sad. Friends can usually be of good help, even when they don't know what you're going through. The fact that they're just listening is comforting.
I definitely suggest that you go to a mental health clinic though. Depression can kill you if not treated and it'd be a shame to lose your life over something that can be helped. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]

Rock_Chick13 answered Thursday August 13 2009, 10:21 pm: Depression is a serious case that needs to be taking care of but if you don't want to do either of those than the best thing you can do is surround yourself with good things that way you don't think about the negative. Be around friends and family that aren't having problems. Go to places where you know you will have fun anything to keep your mind off of it and than during the night play relaxing uplifting music that will help keep you at ease. If none of those things help you need to go get help or you might do something you will regret. [ Rock_Chick13's advice column | Ask Rock_Chick13 A Question ]
