Ways to stay happy when you're depressed?

Being active is a pretty good way to combat depression. It’s not a cure, but it can allow you to take your mind off your depression

Oooh, not after taking the Fitness Gram Pacer test in P.E.. That was Hell on Earth, no offense.

I always listen to music, but sometimes it doesn't help, I don't know why.

Try learning an instrument.

I do play the piano on a website, but I never got too involved. I'll see to it, I do have a friend who plays instruments.

I'm am 110% with you on that.

Noice.

Reading, writing, music, crafts, exercise..

I love reading and writing, but I kind of lost my touch on writing. I just wrote a book with 377 pages, but I feel like it's not good enough, and due to school, I have no time to really read. I'm not the best at crafts and don't have much time for them, and I don't have any candles to burn.

Sometimes just one sentence can help your mood. Try getting a candle from the dollar store.

In case you didn't get it, it's a spoof of an old John Denver song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bclzGAjN6Us

Thanks, I didn't get the reference, but that is a nice song. Very soothing. There were no Dollar Store referenced, but it was a very nice song, thank you for sharing!

I do make a lot of dark humor out of my feelings.

👍😄

Okay, master.

Kidding, of course. Alcohol & drugs make things worse.
It's all about your attitude. Everything is temporary- the good and the bad.
Your thinking habits affect how you react to situations. Took me years to get it.

Yeah, I'm a pessimist, which isn't the best.

A little pessimism is good. Some people are optimistic to the point of delusion.
Find a balance.

Okay, I'll see to it, thanks for the info!

Hello, fellow pessimist. I listen to rap, specifically NF, someone who has gone through depression like some of us on imgflip. I don't know if you like rap, but you should check it out.

I've listened to some, but I'm a Set It Off fan myself. I'll listen to some more if I can.

Cool

You should listen to annihilate too.

Praying and comedies

Oh, comedies are a good way! I was just watching some, been quite a while since I had a hearty laugh.

Do you have a close group of friends?
Try talking about this to them,and then ask what they think.Plus,it's just more comforting to know your friend want to help you,and that you care.

Yeah, it's just that I'm not all that open with friends anymore.

Oh.let it out on imgflip. Did Kate_The_Grate talk to you yet?

A little bit before.

Oh.I asked her to invite you to a stream.

Okay, thanks.

YouTube

Noice. Besides the ads.

My sister got a add about Satan while watching a play dough video.

*uncomfortable laughter*

Yeah. My mom was very angry.

Was it satanic? Or something else having to do with Satan?

I have no idea.

Yeah, but that's weird. Maybe you can get an ad-blocker? I don't know if they're free, but they'll block ads. And if there are parental controls set on YouTube, there shouldn't be any ads like that coming up.

No. She watches it on my dads old phone which has his account on it.

Oh, okay, that may explain it.

Was it the church of satan

yeah

unless you’re a creator.

perhaps
