I am really feeling depressed, how can I cheer myself up?
SIMPLE: get up in the middle of a night once and watch your parents and family, how peacefully they are sleeping, now what if something happens to YOU because of your crazy craps in life. Will they be sleeping peacefully ? I THINK THE ANSWER IS ‘NO’!!NOW…. LETS POUR SOMETHING INTO YOUR BRAIN ;)Our age has been called the age of progress and the age of science, but it has also been characterized as the Age of Tension, Anxiety, Depression, Violance, Crime and Fear!!Anxiety is the mordern plague, Fear is the most disintegrating enemy of human personality. Worry is the most subtle and destructive of all human diseases.YOU REALLY HAVE TO FIND OUT THE REASONS WHICH ARE CAUSING YOUR DEPRESSION. And most importantly you have to decide whether you want to bounce back in your life or just wanna stay being depressed i.e. lack of knowledge.We live in an unhappy and discontented age. There is a lack of direction and a lack of faith. Happiness is what everyone os seeking, but the majority seeks in things which are evanescent and not real.The secret of a peaceful state of mind lies in proper evaluatiom of life and consequent intense spritual practices.Find your INTERESTS!! It can be anything.. music, art, cooking, sports!! Just go out and find your passion, because YOU ARE THE ONE WHO CAN SATISFY YOUR DESIRE AND MAKE YOURSELF COMPLETE. Take a look at your life and just see how you have made so far and what can you achieve by devoting cent percent of your energy and hard work. DECIDE whether you want to CRY throughout your life giving excuses, or wanna see yourself at the pinnacle of success and be proud of YOURSELF, wanna witness THE MOST PRICELESS SMILE OF YOUR PARENTS ?Observe life, try to enjoy the bright sides of life. And feel light & easy, now at this very moment..Or else watch ‘FRIENDS’ and become a friends fanatic. I bet you will feel much better. Thanks to my better half(Smiley) who introduced & gifted me such a wonderful sit-com, ‘F.R.I.E.N.D.S’!(Image source: Google)GOOD LUCK (Y)
I am depressed. What can cheer me up?
Some depressed people do cheer up if you make their favorite meal or take them to a movie. This is a characteristic of Atypical Depression, which you can research if you like.But many do not. This is often characteristic of Melancholic Depression, which is also easily researched if you want to dive deeper.The problem is that even if the person cheers up for a few hours, they’re still depressed, and usually fall back into a depressed mood.Cheering someone up is actually a pretty ineffective way to treat their depression.A more effective technique is to treat the underlying cause of the depression. It usually traces to past and/or present emotional pain. Mistreatment. Neglect. Bullying. Lack of fulfillment. Feeling trapped. And so on.Sometimes we have to help the person make structural changes in their life to escape the causes, such as getting a more satisfying job, or ending a toxic relationship. Sometimes we have to heal pain that goes back to childhood. Sometimes we have to help correct self-defeating behaviors.I’d love to cheer you up, but even if I get you rolling on the floor with laughter, you’re going to back in depression tomorrow.The tough news is that your best bet for relief is to get yourself into therapy, find the cause of the depression, and resolve it.It means hard work, but no one promised that life would be easy.Thanks for the question!
How can you cheer up a depressed person?
It's really hard to "cheer up" a depressed person. I mean jokes don't usually work, nor does a pep talk. The best thing you can do is 1) make sure the person knows you're there for them and and that you really care about them. Call them frequently. 2) Attempt to "draw" the person out of them-self. Depressed people tend to draw inwards and bottle up; they need to be encouraged to think OUTSIDE of themselves. Sometimes this can be accomplished by making them feel needed. If they can see where they can be of use or helpful to someone else, then that takes the focus off themselves. As for the quotes, visit a bookstore or drugstore. Walmart has a good selection books as well. Also check on Amazon.com. There's a lot of good stuff out there.

How do I cheer up my depressed Grandpa?
I do have a grand-pa, and he has been much more to me than my parents. So, although he is never really depressed, staying with him has taught me alot about old age and what really matters when you go the distance.When you have retired for some time and are counting your end days, you seem to feel very lonely. Moreso with the current lifestyle and nucleated families where time becomes a commodity not many of us could afford. And as you see your own flesh and blood grow up into men, you realise that you slowly lose meaning in their lives. At the same time, people who have known you personally, ie friends and acquaintances start losing their importance to the world, and with them fades away most of the things you hold dear for yourself and most of the things you are proud of doing. Sure, your grand-pa might not be a war veteran or a great leader, but whatever they have done deserves acknowledgement and respect. So, for most of the grand-pas out there, only two things would matter: company and respect. And most likely the reason he is depressed is one of these two.So, just go sit with him. Make him feel he is needed and important. And then talk about the good things he had done, the achievements he had made in his life, things he is proud of. This makes him feel as if his long life has not been in vain, this makes him feel content, and surely makes him feel a lot happier.
My girlfriend is depressed. How can I cheer her up?
We are sometimes surrounded by negative thoughts and which leads to depression. When a person is in depression he or she needs to spend time with herself. What ever we say that would have a negative answer to it. So it's better we live them alone for a while after sending them a message. A message which addresses our feelings for them and make them realise there importance in our life. For example " I know you are upset and that effects me too. I am not at your position and will not be able to understand your pain but I can feel the pain of seeing you in pain. Share if you feel so and remember that I am always there for you with you. Love you my love " You can share few stories of your experience with her, all the lite and romantic movement.

My boyfriend is depressed, how can I help him?
People don't just "cheer up" from depression. It is natural to want to do that, but you can't do it, so don't blame yourself. It is true that seeking treatment early is VERY important, but he has to agree and feel comfortable working with a therepist. If he won't, it is not your fault. And even when he does, be prepared for a LONG road to recovery. Each medication takes 3 weeks to several months to evaluate and many people have to try well over a dozen combinations. In the mean time, be patient with him and you. It is OK to feel frustrated. The best way to shorten the road is regular psychotherepy. (That is not the same as psycho-analysis) He is probably not avoiding you or trying to hide his feelings from you because he does not trust you. Depression is less comparable to "sadness" and more to "numbness" or "tiredness". It is hard to communicate why nothing makes us feel better, so we just keep quiet. Make it clear you love him, even if he says or does something stupid or crazy. If you have trouble getting him to go to a psychologist, try going yourself for a few weeks and then tell him about the experience. It is more like chatting with a friend than going to a doctor. A psychiatrist is different than a psychologist, a psychiatrist mostly prescribes medication and is more like a regular doctor. Do your homework on depression. Know the DSMV - IV definition of depression, check out Web MD and other online sites, know the warning signs of suicide. It would be great if you could get involved in a NAMI "Family to Family" class in your area. They are very cool and laid back, and give lots of good information. Make sure YOU have at least 10 good friends who know how you feel about your boyfriend. You need people you can vent to about this without them thinking you want to leave. People who can remind you that it is not your fault, 30 times a day if nessasary. My husband was depressed when we started dating, I tried my best to get him help, but even after he made a plan for suicide I couldn't get him to reliably attend therepy or take meds. It has taken ten years and several hospitalizations to get him serious about this and I think we are facing another decade of treament plans ahead. Earlier treament would have prevented this. Hang in there, there is life during and after depression. God Bless.
