Eat, cry, talk to someone who likes me, go for a drive or walk, or listen to music. If it lasts longer than I day I talk myself out of it.

I'll have to try that

I HATE being depressed. Seriously, I force myself out of it. It's good to allow yourself to be down sometimes...it's almost like a natural relaxant. Plus, you get some pent up emotions out. But, if you allow it to continue, depression can become a habit. Of course, I'm talking about every day type of moodiness, not clinical depression that requires medication.

Oh, then, sure....after you mope about and let yourself feel hurt, angry, discouraged, etc., it's best to figure out why you feel the way you do and what you can do to change the situation or decide if it needs to be let go.

I try to find something nice to do for someone. Mow my neighbor's front lawn, make dinner for my in-laws, anything that makes someone else feel good. That usually peps me up pretty quickly.

Usually it's just a matter of waiting it out for me, because there's rarely a cause (beyond the physical).
I look at my diet to make sure it hasn't gone out of balance.
I look at the calendar to see if it's near the full moon. I ask my daughter if she's about to start.
I eat chocolate.
I watch action movies or post in purely silly threads on RF.
I pray and meditate.
I hang fresh rosemary in the house, because it's a pick-me-up.
And I see my kinesiologist if it's really bad, and she rebalances my thyroid in 30 minutes or less and I walk off cheerful wondering why the heck I waited so long to go see her.

I savor the emotion until it has run its course. There is little point in denying what you are feeling, is my thinking. Then, when I am satiated, I simply bounce back to my usual irreverant and happy self. It's life. If you were never sad, you would never know when you were happy. Peaks and valleys, eh.

I'm much the same way. I recognize that I'm not in the best of moods and acknowledge that it will pass and I'll feel better soon.
When I get depressed, I pop a prozac.
