Try starting a walking regime. I am serious; this does work for some. See the following site: http://www.thirdage.com/news/archive/ALT02991029-02.html

Find a network of support as well as consulting a good and well-trained professional. Research on the internet and understand what depression is and how to determine if you are at risk. You might even find a self-test somewhere. Resources are easy to find and find someone who helps people in your situation. If you can't afford to pay someone, there is free treatment out there too.

Well lots of ppl reccomend a psychologist,but sometimes that isn't the best cure, it depends on how bad ur depression really is. Some ppl start talking to the same ppl on the phone more and more. Some ppl get put on medds. such as Zoloft and others. When I was depressed I was in my room alot and I wrote in a ntbk. alot. I also just layed in bed and daydreamed or reminised over past experiences.
