How do you deal with depression?

[originaldj]

Long story short, the girl I had a oneitis for has started dating my best friend.

I don't care who you are, if you are a teenager you go through depression once in a while. Luckily it is very rare for me and the depression from this specific event is already gone.

I am just curious as to how you guys deal with it. Personally I just start doing something becasue I usually only get depressed when I am bores. So I will usuaully jus get together with a friend or go to the gym.

What are your tricks?

Stop thinking for myself?

I go off and I confront people...

Get their minds to work for me... ANYTHING they say, is better than thinking it for myself.

"talk... about anything. I don't care if it is interesting or not. I don't want to be alone with my thoughts"

I listen to music, go to the bar with good friends, go to the clubs, talk to girls, play guitar, I remind myself that no matter how bad I think I have it, I KNOW there are people who are more upset than me, and that always helps.

I also lsiten to music, MUSIC IS MY LIFE!! I play piano, play guitar, sing. I really dont care about outside world when i am outside of it, I just focus on my life, I remember that there is bright future in front of me, i know that no one can stop my dreams, and I live my dreams. When I need something i get it.

I watch fight club.

And get in the mindset that there are things out there that are far more thrilling and better than girls.
