Well, I don't take medicine or anything, but here's a few ideas...

Drink lots of water and juice
Eat more fruits and veggies (really what you eat is what you are... )
Peanut Butter
Put something deep candy pink around (this color calms people at times --example Hello Kitty deep pink color)
Find something soothing (white noise such as static or water or such that is relaxing)
Take naps more
eat bananas....
Wear green sometimes...whatever color green you like, but leaf green or a medium shade is nice

Always remind yourself things could be worse
Remind yourself that you love yourself
Give yourself hugs
Do spontaneous stuff that makes you happy...

Thank you. I'll try those things...

Ooh I do eat a lot of bananas. I tend to eat many fruits, but I'm only fond of a few kinds of vegetables so I'm picky. Thanks for your help! Sleeping is something I should go do.

Well, whatever your veggies...eat them more and less sugar stuff..I've found I get stressed easier when I don't eat well...

But since I'm vegetarian now, my blood sugar is much more stable...

But do love yourself, that is number one most important...

I hate to see you like this, it makes me sad! I don't take any medicines for that, but my bro's ex-girlfriend did and she lived with us for a few years. She took Zoloft and that didn't really help her either. She stopped taking them altogether and tried to do more things that she liked. Do things to fill out your day. Fun things, relaxing things that get your mind off of whatever it is that is making you depressed. When I was depressed for a certain amount of time, I started to do things differently in my day. Instead of reading a fanfic, I would clean and chat with a few peoples. Instead of listening to my usual sad music, I listened to dance beats and danced my booty off ........ N-e-boat, don't worry though, you are going to be okay. Also, when I feel distressed about the things I am doing, I write them down on a piece of paper and burn it, saying that this helps me get rid of them. Sorta makes me feel better too. You can take behavior therapy, that can help (if you haven't already, it's good for OCD adn popular too, so I wouldn't know...)...If you have switched recently than give your body some time to get used to the medicine, if that doesn't work, than a better dosage or different medicine should work. Medicine isn't always good, but it DOES help with OCD if you have a severe case of it. (do you?) I luv ya girly, you're one of my best friends now! So I want to see you smiling and responding. You ARE an awesome person and you can overcome this! YOU CAN DO IIIIIT!
Much , C-S!

_{Lesson, lesson, if you see a stranger, follow him.}

When I feel depresed, I will cry as much as I can. It really helps me a lot. While I'm crying, I think of my problem. I play Religious music too, it makes me stronger. Then after I feel better, I drink a lot of mineral water or some hot milk. Crying a lot sometimes makes me dizzy, if that happens, I will take a nap. After I get up, the problem seems clear. Well, that's work for me.

Thank you... It really means a lot to me. I think sometimes the reason I get kind of depressed is because I don't HAVE a real best friend. I have a boyfriend, but even then we fight sometimes and it's stressing. I also struggle with my odd sexual orientation and my body image. I'm going to go to the counseling center at my college (its free!) and see what can help. I'll give the medicine more time-- until I go back to the doctor in about a month. If it doesn't seem to do much, I'll just stop taking those. I do have a pretty significant case of OCD I think-- I could list my obsessive-compulsions! I'll just do what it takes. Thanks for being there... I'd love it if we were best friends or something... I love you too!
