depressed?(wikihow answers)

Identify any Triggers. When and where does it come up? Is a particular situation or person triggering the feeling? Make a mental note of it whenever it comes up. From there, you can make changes to suit your needs.
Identify the Feeling. Try using some holistic or Eastern techniques to identify where the feeling settles. Where in your body do you feel the emptiness? Close your eyes and think of the worst time you have felt this. Where do you feel emptiness? Learn about the 7 chakras and learn about what the emptiness could be related to in regard to its location. Also, if you had to give the feeling a colour or shape, what would it be? What can you interpret from this shape? Does it give you any insight as to how to fix it?
Tell Someone. Sometimes just talking about your feelings can make them go away or decrease. Talk to someone who cares and understands you, or at least, whom you trust; it can make a big difference!
Go Outside. Going outside in nature can help most people feel better. Perhaps you just need a time out? Many people spend too much time with technology and not enough time outside.
Help Someone Else. Get out of your own head. Cycling on the same depressing thoughts can make you feel insignificant. But you can prove your own worth by simply getting up, and going to find someone else who needs your help, offering it, and seeing how that person was helped. Churches, mission groups, and community organizations often get together with a plan to help needy citizens in your town. Go to them, volunteer. You will be amazed by how much your help means to someone who has fewer advantages than you. Helping others helps twice: the person who receives the help is grateful and blessed by it, and the person who helps feels accomplished and blessed. It is a privilege to serve others, and if you can cultivate that feeling of gratitude in your own heart, there is little that will make your heart fill and overflow quite like that feeling.
Get Help. It's possible that you have depression if you constantly feel empty. Asking for help doesn't mean you're crazy. Everyone goes through highs and lows, and the sooner you get help, the sooner you can rise above it and become a better person, with more wisdom and energy! Counseling, medications, and natural therapies are all valid forms of intervention - seek help and try everything you can.
