Talk to someone professional to figure out the source of your feelings. Meanwhile, exercise often with some amazing music in your ear.

Spend time with your close ones, that normally helps. And do the things you have to do - look after the people that depend on you and so on.
When you're depressed everything, even the depression itself, seems impossible to overcome, but your still here and you still exist so just keep going and ignore the depression

Do just what your doing now..Talk about it. Hope people around you and here are not unsympathetic a...holes, because the people that are unsympathetic, are sicker than you, trust me.
Get exercise, there is a chemical in our body that is produced when working out that helps.
Get something accomplished, whether work related, chore related, anything that you have been putting off. Force it!

Listen, I have been suffering from depression for a long time (like 3 years? yes). I know how it feels. you should always focus on something, make yourself busy. It helps to get rid of those negative thoughts. If you have close friends, go meet them. For me, playing cricket with school friends, makes me hell of happy. It even heal me from depression mostly, yes.
You should have something that fancy u right? Do it.
Its always good to see a better doctor. They can decide, what we cant,. they'll advice you what to do about it.
believe me, i have even been in hell of a depression, in its maximum level,
but now, i always focus on IM stuff and always meet friends, and no depression.
If you wanna someone talk to, PM me....

I realize that you may be closing this topic now, but I wanted to offer my insight from being a very depressed person for most of my life until the past few years.
I got over depression by realizing three very, very important things:
1. Happiness is a choice (a.k.a. look on the bright side)
2. Variety is the spice of life
3. This too shall pass (nothing lasts forever)
I know that first one sounds crazy, but it really is true -- that is, if you continue to dwell on feeling crappy, you will continue to feel crappy. Trying hard to look at the funny things in life that are always happening around you will remind you that it isn't all bad. Maybe you are sick with a disease, but the doctor who treats you walks or talks funny. Maybe you broke up with your girlfriend or boyfriend but the new person they are dating is a total loser, so you win. Maybe your parents treat you like dirt, but at least you are younger (and probably cooler) than them.
One of the biggest killers of the spirit is monotony, and lord knows most IMers face this on a daily basis. Obviously you could automate a lot of things you do to help, but adding a little spice to your life wouldn't hurt either. Try some of the following to gain a new perspective
- take a new route to work/school/or other scheduled event. a new route yields new faces and obstacles
- try eating something new -- my new food lately is Craisins. I found some blueberry ones too, soooooo good.
- try using your left hand for things that are easy that you normally use your right hand for (or vice versa if you are already left-handed)
- talk to new people that you wouldn't ordinarily speak to, especially people that you see a lot but tend to ignore
- if you normally smoke weed or drink, try taking a break; not for good, just a break to gain some perspective
- try going to a community event. you don't even have to participate, just go and be an onlooker (could be a political event, a social event, religious event, etc). This one actually really helps lift my spirits cuz I always end up seeing some people that I either a) never want to be like and it makes me happier or b) really want to be like and it makes me work harder and look up.
The third thing can be good or bad, but I tend to view it always on a positive note. Nothing lasts forever, be it an event you are nervous about, being broke, or even a relationship. It's a good thing when things end because it allows for the freshness of a new period of your life -- I mean to say that it may be a little sad at first, but once you realize that it was inevitable you may realize that this opens the door for something new (new job, new girlfriend, new friends, new location, etc).
Hope this helps you or anyone else in the same situation.

Quite simply man - find meaning in your life. Find a passion, and focus your life around that. I swear it fixes all depression. Don't worry about finding the meaning in life itself, just focus on finding meaning in YOUR life.

LOL this ^
i highly, strongly, urgently suggest you go chat with a professional about it. it's no different from what you just did here! "i'm depressed." and the conversation starts. try it once, talking to a psychologist, or a psychiatrist. try it for one visit, and if you don't like it, don't return. i think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
