The best way to relieve depression without professional help?!
Question: Hiya. I'm a victim of depression, and it's been hitting me really hard lately. I've had this problem for a reaallly long time. I was admitted to go to the psychiatrist in Seoul, which is a four hour drive, but I didn't do because I felt better. I regretted it soon after since it started happening again, and it's been going on ever since. That was almost 4 years ago.
So, I ask -- mature answers only. What's an easy way to relieve depression? Talking really doesn't do anything for me and I get depressed really easily about the dumbest things. Like. My inability to do math properly. That's.. really what I'm depressed about now so any answer would be very helpful. ?!

Sorry to hear you're feeling so down. Depression is an illness and it can be treated in different ways, like talking or sometimes with medication. It's important to let people you trust know how you're feeling, and the best thing would be to see a psychiatrist who can help you to work out exactly what's going on, and to recommend something to help which will suit you as an individual.
Sounds like your mum's finding this difficult too. It can be hard for the friends and relatives of depressed people because sometimes they blame themselves, or feel helpless, or find it hard to understand why people can't just cheer up. But depression is a medical condition like eczema or diabetes, and your psychiatrist will explain this to her, which may help her to come to terms with it. It's really important that you keep speaking to the people around you, and telling them honestly how you are feeling. Your feelings are nothing to be ashamed of, that's for sure.
Some people find that regular exercise helps their mood. It's also good to eat a balanced diet, containing fish oils (necessary for a healthy nervous system). There's no substitute for professional advice though and it's important that you see a doctor for help with this.
Well done for posting this and looking for help!
One way of solving depression is to relax and think of all the thing that make u great, it could be things you have done, what you look like... anything you want.
Depression is one thing that it is best to get help for, my sister suffered from depression and the only way that it got better was talking to someone. It runs in families because I too sometimes get the blues just not as intense as some in my family. What helps me is working out, spend some time outdoors. Get a bike and just ride, it helps me. If your really bad you should see a Dr.
In this instance, I would ask your doctor for a referal to a behavioral therapist. They are not going to just have you talk about it, but specifically work on changing behaviors to help you out.
For your math, maybe get a math tutor. There are little things you can do on your own as well, but if you've had depression for four years now, you should look into getting it treated. Depression such as this won't go away on its own, so its best to take care of it so you don't have to continue suffering.
