sleeping a lot, dark thoughts, mood swings, not wanting to go out.
I was depressed for a while, but thankfully I had the drive to force myself to get over it and go hang out with a friend or two, or just go outside and walk. Changing your daily routine can make you feel a lot better, once you get up the drive to just DO IT already.
If you were clinically depressed you'd know about it.
If you are asking this question then you are not seriously depressed and the best cures are non-medical.
