I Deal with stress by Praying to GOD, because usually i don't like to blow it all to a friend for I know we just have same capacity of stress to deal there will come a time you don't know if things got worst they counter fire you. but I don't hate my friends Its just I feel more secure sharing all my thoughts and care to GOD. for I know He has a Plan for Everyone and we are his friend and He will not leave us or forsake us.

Tell your friend that if she doesn't want to share it with you, advise that GOD love her and God care for Her he just have to pray and say it all. for sure His life storm will calm. stay with Her you don't have to say any word your presence is enough.

We just talk to our family and loveones.  Depression is one of the problem in this world but we can avoid it.  Talking to each other is the one prevent of depression.

I can relate, at least somewhat. I feel depressed over the last decade or so mainly because many important things did not turn out as planned for me. What has happened is that I am a loner most of the time outside of work as I do not want to be around people with a negative attitude. (Being depressed)

I try to disguise it at work somewhat and work does take my mind off of my problems. I can't hang my head all the time at work...  I eat lunch in my car and listen to AM talk shows, mostly finance or sports.

Most of the time at home, I'm in my bedroom as that is where everything I need is. Computer, TV, Phone (not that anyone calls)...

There is one thing that has kept my attention which helps. It's sports as it keeps you in shape and after some exertion, you have endorphins/adrenaline flowing which makes you feel OK. But that is short lived.  I would suggest taking a hike with your friend, maybe once a week to start off, something easy that will take you 30 minutes. Just listen to her, you don't have to give any advice...

Encourage her to go on more hikes with you, maybe twice a week to look around at the landscape, fresh air, the trees, plants, sky, birds, squirrels. Take some water and snacks with you. Maybe it will be something that your friend enjoys and will look forward to it in the future? Plan your hikes...

Myself, I'm a cyclist which is a good sport for me as I can do it alone. Both Road and mountain biking. I jog a few times a month and took up swimming last summer as it is easier on the joints.

Best of luck with your friend 

Listening music, be with your friends and have fun, and do what makes you happy.

Depression is a serious case that we must solve. No one can solve it but ourselves alone. Thinking about our problems rather than thinking of the solution is what makes us more depress and weak to face such trials. Some things would help like hanging out with friends and sharing your burdens with them. Opening and sharing your troubles might help you ease and release the pain. Always look at the positive side of life and stay happy. Avoid thinking of negative things that might make you sad and most of all, always pray and keep the faith because you don't own all the problems in the world.

To overcome your depression I think you need to be with your closest Family such as you parents, relatives, husband/wife or love ones, closest friends where you know they will be on your side whatever your problem is they will stand besides you always. This will give you a hand by these peolple to lessen your depression level.

Depression is not just a momentary sadness, but a psychiatric disorder that needs special treatment. Unfortunately, not everyone knows how to deal with a depressed friend. The ignorance ultimately makes people who are depressed feel alone and do not get support from the people closest.
Here are some things you can do to help a depressed friend ;
-Giving motivation : One of the things your friend needs in the face of trouble to depression is the support of the nearest person. Although just in the form of words, motivation will be able to make it rise from adversity and face all the problems it faces. Do not forget to make them realize that life is beautiful.
-Strengthen them : Can not be denied, someone who is already depressed, he will grow weak and as if no longer able to deal with the problem. Help them to find the strength to deal with the problem. This will be helpful in addition to being the place for storytelling.
-Always there      : Sometimes, being a place of story alone has made them relieved. Therefore as much as possible you should be a friend who is always there when they need. No matter how busy you are, Spend a little time just to listen to their vent.
-do not give up    : Indeed, a lot of people who feel unable to deal with a problem that is very big. However, We do not have to give up because every problem there must be a way out. Just as you do not give up motivating friends who are facing problems.
-Do not criticize   : Often too, we forget and want to criticize when friends are telling stories. Actually, they need sometimes just a place to tell stories, not comment and criticism. So try to hold yourself as a loyal listener of your friends.

Facing a friend who is depressed is not easy. Especially with their characters who easily give up and difficult to share. However, as a friend, we already know their character and how to deal with it.

We can overcome depression with the help of a specialist. The advice given by a specialist can be very rewarding. The treatment provided aims to improve the biological mechanisms in the mindset that allow a person to feel depressed. To deal with depression effectively, you must change your outlook and mindset. By changing the mindset for those suffering from depression, you can create long-term protection against depression.

One advice: if everything went so badly that you're keeping your mind on suicide ... just move to another county, change your job, your friends ... go for adventures, don't give up. 

It is better to share or open up her problems with her family or friends and ask for a piece of advice of what she can do to overcome her depression, she'll be feeling better after a serious talk. There is no problem that can not be solved if you do not hide it.

Gejala yang ditimbulkan apabila seseorang terkena depresi juga sangat banyak. Namun, secara umum depresi biasanya disebabkan oleh menurunnya produktifitas kerja, mudah merasa lelah, susah konsentrasi, kehilangan rasa percaya diri, sensitive, merasa dirinya tidak berguna, perasaan terbebani dan gangguan pola tidur

First thing to do, Try to motivate her say some beautiful things about her and why she deserves to live with happiness than being depressed, you can also ask help from her family or friends to help her over come depression, Depression is a hard situation but a person who has depression may barely over come this by the help of the people around her.Go dont let her keep it on her own! Motivate her because the more she keep it the more she'll overthink about it, So help her overcome it.

Get involved with something - Turn your body and mind into something aside from you. If you engage in some kind of activity, thoughts will hardly swallow you up

The depressive state dictates a certain pattern of behavior. Do not succumb to it. Do the opposite, what depression dictates to you.

Psychedelics like Magic Mushrooms and LSD can cure depression. It worked for my younger brother.

Alleviation pretty much.

Intelligent people are depressed because they typically acknowledge and process the more painful aspects of reality. Sad, or cool, depending on how you see it/feel, but I think it's true.

There's always a reason for being depressed so first figure out what the problem is and then work on fixing it or if that's not possible, alleviating it.

Meditation. According to Dr. ... Add vitamin B intake. Vitamin B-12 and B vitamins help the production of chemical compounds in the brain that affect the mood of serotonin, epinephrine, and dopamine. ... Set goals. ... Regular sleep schedule. ... Try new things. ... Talk to people you trust. ...Light exercise.

First, try to understand what is the main reason for your depression and try to address it from there. Then find out what things can you do to divert your attention and learn of things that may possibly trigger your depression so you can prevent it.

Depression is a serious but treatable mental disorder. If our loveone is suffering from this we can help them by encouraging them to express their feelings towards us. We must be willing to listen without judging them. But let's not expect that a single conversation to be the end of it. Instead we must express to them our willingness to listen and our concern to them over and over again. We must show them and let them feel that we love them and that we're on their side.
