I stay very busy.

Thanks @WanderingVet

Find mindful distractions and find strength to express myself to someone who listens.

Thanks @djchurn. I think my biggest difficulty is getting out of my own head when it comes to selecting someone to talk to. Describing depression is hard because it is literally in your head; thus, a person saying "oh, it's all in your head." is actually right in the most flippant and unhelpful of ways. Praying to find someone who will hear. I know God will guide me. Thanks again.

Brotha, thanks for the quick response. You are not alone in your feelings and where they often lead. Ultimately only you will know exactly how you feel. You can attempt to tell your doctor, friends and family but they will unlike be able to say what you want to hear. Tell yourself that you want to find serenity and peace of mind. Use any of the distractions people post as coping mechanisms. When they work and you get out from under a cloud tell yourself to remember what motivated it and do it again. Then you are trying and all it takes is you to accomplish.

Pray, pray, everyday.
A more practical way(s): write, DS/journal, create something

Exercise.....

Great word @djchurn

Amen to that @Help_me_Jesus

And, I will @Seamus

Massages. See my girlfriend.

I find that I am happy when I am doing any kind of work. Even when it is crappy. I look for problems and solve them. Failure is an important part of work. If you work you will have failure, but you will also have wins. You can Win even if you fail at times. Good Luck

I tend to want to isolate myself, but I've found that getting out of my house is often a better decision for me. Take a walk, bask in the sun, call a friend, exercise, listen to soothing music, pray, journal, color, blow soap bubbles, Those are some things that work for me. And if you are still feeling badly and it continues for a long time, then certainly reach out for professional help.
