Coping with Depression.

when i am down, it helps if i overburden myself with my sadness, letting the emotion totally envelop me. listening to anathema constantly, writing nihilistic passages, just feeling sorry for myself. overdoing it. almost enjoying my burdens. . . until i grow tired of it and rise again, a little bit happier than i was before.

don't know if that made much sense, but it is something that works for me. . .

David Bowie is good.
Big understatement. :Spin: Bowie is great to get me in a better mood, reminds me of when I was 4 and mom played his records on a daily basis.
 
I love China Girl, Diamond Dogs, Aladdin Sane, Starman, Let's Dance (I believe Stevie Ray Vaughn plays a little guit on this one), but I think my favorite Bowie is the theme from Cat People (Putting Out Fire).

I'm going home to listen to Bowie now. :)

China Girl is his best song hands down!

Yeah, it is phenomenal. The video got banned in England when it first came out. Easily my fave Bowie number.

For our wedding reception, we asked the DJ to announce the parent party with Modern Love, and the wedding party itself came in to Iggy Pop's Lust for Life. :cool: (We were watching a lot of Trainspotting at the time, heh).

Oh and don't forget David Bowie's performance in Labyrinth. Excellent fun-fantasy film, with another great song, Magic Dance.

Does anyone knwo is St. John's Wart works?
No idea. I know ginseng (similar root) is supposed to be good for keeping wood. Very good for depression when you wanna shag some tasty bird all night long.

And avoid the 'warts' and stick with the 'worts', haha.
 
The best way to get over stress and depression is to take a break from your regular schedule, go out, and take good sleep. This helps in clearing the mind and try consulting a specialist who can suggest you as how you can get over your problem. There are various prescription drugs to get over anxiety and depression, but these should only be used in accordance with the instruction of a physician. There is a lot of fake selling of such medicines on internet, so before you can order it online just make sure it is a real ********.
 
What the...

Accepting a treatment is essential, even if it has to last for 6 months or more. Phone friends even if you don't feel like going out with them. Start from zero and do things you have restrained yourself from doing before (it can be anything). And maybe the most important remedy : leave the city you're in for a fews days vacation.
