I generally sit in front of the television isolating myself in the house while eating mood enhancing foods. After i crash from my food enduced high. I begin to dwell intensely on my problems. Although it pulls you deeper into despair, self loathing and self pity feels strangely reassuring.
Thats how i deal with depression.
I don't think anyone would advocate using illegal drugs as a way to treat depression.
However, when asked the question: "What do you do to deal with depression?" The answer is "drugs". No, it doesn't help in any significant way. Live for the moment though, eh? I'm lucky I don't suffer from depression in any real way.

Your right, but legal drugs posessing side effects just as debilitating are approved by all 😂
Like you, i believe trying to live in the moment helps, but, being able to look within and answer your questions honestly and without bias. Usually leads me to the steps of pulling myself out of a depression.

Physical Exertion. Christmas 2005 I broke up with my ex. I was so filled with hatred and anger I couldn't sleep, do my job well, be even remotely cordial, smile etc. Life sucked soooooooooooo bad. But Jan. 1, 2006 I went back to the gym after lying in bed for 4 hours and not being able to sleep. Believe it or not, I worked out 76 straight days (combination MMA training, lifting running, Jiu Jitsu). And at least 2 1/2 hours each day. March 7, 2006 I hurt my shoulder grappling and was forced to take some time off.
See, I realized the only positive benefit of anger was adrenaline. I was so filled with hatred and anger it fuled me. I was no longer depressed while I was working out. I'd run seven to 8 miles on the tread, do twice as many reps and sets as usual, etc. And I'd actually burn my self out enuff that by the time I got back home I'd fall straight to sleep.
Of course once I hurt my shoulder I had nothing to do but be depressed and hateful again. And then I found the way of the Sith...

Personally, I just keep myself busy with stuff. Go out with people as much as I can to avoid thinking about the problems in my life. Talk to people as much as I can.
I have never been depressed.
Things have happened in my life that should make most people depressed but I just am not the type to get depressed. I can get really really angry..but even then, it is hard to stay angry for longer than a few hours for me.
My wife, before we got married, used to get depressed for a couple of days at a time, for no apparent reason. Now, she doesn't anymore...I tend to think that myself and our children are the reason why.

Well I guess my reply still counts even though I'm not insane or depressed. But when I need to blow off steam or something, I get on the interstate and speed while listening to loud music. Only thing is my car tops out at 95mph, and that's just not fast enough.
Stupid Americans with their stupid slow cars.

but adrenaline just makes me freeze{as ud freeze when shocked/terrified}, or it makes my body tremble, or it gives me the fealing of guilt + the fealing of having your heart in your throat and your stomach falling to oblivion. plus a generally very anxious/sickening psyche profile. 🙁

lol, that sounds like a rather maladaptive fight or flight mechanism
(and this comming from someone who suffers anxiety attacks 😉)
i have only had like one or two episodes which could be considered all out panic attacks. but the situation is similar in a lot of places. makes public speaking/fighting very hard if not impossible. not to mention it has lotsa negetive impacts on your social life/interactions and ability to tackle problems/confidence in doing something or tring sumthing new.

I have a weird kind of panic disorder. It is either an over intense fight/flight response (which would make more sense in the case of getting anxious before public speaking) or an overactive disgust system (I'll explain in a min, but we do have a system that makes us disgusted seperate from other emotional processing).
I get severe (have to lay down for 20 min, feel like I'm going to die) panic attacks when I see movie blood or really gory disgusting things. It isn't that I don't like them, its that I cannot physically handle it. Thats why this type of anxiety problem is thought to be a problem in the disgust system.
But ya, nothing more embarassing than having to excuse yourself from the group to "go lie down and not die"

Smoking weed, tinkering, punching a punchbag, fishing, and confronting the person who I have a problem with.
