For the run of the mill “sads” (especially around the holidays), help someone less fortunate than yourself. Call a loved one, family member, or friend that you know may be lonely or going through a tough time. I promise you will feel better.
If it’s clinical depression, that’s a whole different ball game. Most people who are clinically depressed can’t even see it themselves, they need someone close to them to suggest or get them help.
I’m either case, I wish you - and any one who suffers depression - the best. I am fortunate/lucky/blessed that I have not been on any anti-depressant since the late 90s.

Look at pictures of my wife and kids and realize that no matter how depressing current day bullshite can be it’s never outweighed by the joy and blessings of my family then I say a prayer to thank God for all my blessings.

Take a few days off from booze, take an extra dose of magnesium, then try to check a few things off the work to do list. I've learned that when I'm feeling way down, I tend to just zone out and be lazy, which ends up making me more stressed and down. If I can motivate myself to get something done, I usually feel a lot better.

This was absolutely the case for me years ago. I remember telling what I thought was a funny story, surrounded by friends who have all gone through serious issues with depression, alcoholism, or drugs in the past. I noticed none of them were laughing…they were all really scared and concerned. If these people thought something was seriously wrong, then I knew that I needed real help.
Therapy didn’t work right away, but over time, it gave me the tools I needed to seriously fix my problem in a real way. 3 years later since starting therapy, and I’m like night and day a different person in the best way possible.
One thing that helps is making to-do lists. I have a lost I made a couple months ago with 77 different items on it. Some are simple chores, some are expensive home repairs, others are hobby related, and some are mindset related. I look at that list every few days to see what I can check off. Over the last couple months, I’ve checked off a couple items each week. It feels good to see that progress and gives me clear goals to work with.

I like your sentiment, but disagree with some of the language that you used
This implies that people are powerless to create their situations and that choices don’t matter

I make a list of all the things I am grateful for. Then I read it over and over again.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 ESV
Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

But there are people less fortunate than I am - either by circumstances of their own making or otherwise. Just because a person makes bad choices does not mean (at least in my opinion) that I wouldn’t try to help them make things better in their life or just give them some joy. Doing that helps me when I’m a bit down due to circumstances in my own life. But to each his own. I’m just stating my own experience.

My god, some of you are so uneducated. You do know there is a gay version, it’s just some backwards and in the rear.
Don’t ask how I know.

Now? Play with my kids or fire up the work laptop and make some money.
Before I had kids I'd go out and flirt with strange women / use a dating app. Lot of thirsty women out there looking to complicate or ruin your life.
I'd "date" 5-6 at a time just to stay busy.

Stay off social media, news, internet in general. It’s filled with negativity and triggers and things that cause emotional reactions. Fill the void with more positive media: comedies, uplifting podcasts, etc.
Try connecting with people, if not friends or family, even a hello to the gas station clerk helps.
Mediation is helpful for me personally, but not everyone’s cup of tea.
Lay off the booze and drugs. Better to process negative emotions than to numb them.
7-8 hours of sleep. Sleep is so overlooked.

I usually throw on some Jazz or other "happy" music for background noise, hit a vape cartridge, and read random, mostly pointless, BS online.

I get blue once in a while. What always helps, without fail, is forcing myself to do a workout/heavy exercise. The natural endorphins lift you out of the haze and give you hope.
Posted on 12/6/22 at 11:28 am to JPLSU1981
Exercise is great. But my go-to advice for people is find somewhere to volunteer. Ideally somewhere with a mission to help other people doing something that reminds you of the mission and the good you are doing. It gets you doing something, reminds you of something in your life that is better than what other people experience, while doing the work gets you out of your own head, and hopefully has you interacting with other people toward a common goal.
