Do thing that you love to do! Or things that you used to do that you no longer do for some reason. Hang around happy energetic people and listen to uplifting complimenting music. Be nice to people who are nice to you and love yourself!
Good luck!

honestly something to drink wouldn't hurt in those situations but even if you don't feel like going out you should keep busy and do stuff. :)

You have taken the first and hardest step by asking for help. The next steps get easier.
You do not say how old you are. If you are old enough to see a doctor on your own then make an appointment to see your family doctor. If you are to young, under 14, the ask mom or dad to make an appointment for you.
You need to ask you family doctor to screen you for depression. There are a number of reasons for depression especially in teenagers, now referred to as teenage depression. In years past what is now diagnosed as teenage depression was called a phase, something a teenager would grow out of. For the most part they did but with many problems. Today we know teenage depression is also linked with hormonal imbalances brought on by puberty and doctors can easily deal with this.
There are also some physical reasons that could be the cause of a person becoming depressed. A complete physical check-up should reveal any physical reason for your depression.
The next step after recognizing you have a problem and asking for help is getting some help. That next step is seeing your family doctor and explaining how you feel. Ask to be screened for depression, then follow the doctors advise and instructions.

What has happened that made you feel so down? Do you have any friends you can vent to? I'm so happy you don't want to turn to drugs or alcohol - those things will only make the situation more complicated, and likely will depress you more. Do you need someone to talk to? I'm here! :) Sometimes a friendly conversation, as simple as it sounds, can make a world of difference.
