I've been suffering on and off depression since a teen, its usually the point in time you realise that life isn't the sugar coated flower of happiness you fault it was.

I deal it by exercising when I feel depressed, my worst thing is to drown out it with a computer game, so I don't recommend it. Also, don't fall into the temptation to pleasure eat, that also makes it worst.

A lot of it boils down to taking your mind off of it, depression has many reasns for starting, but continues if you don't reel it in becaause its caused by a release of a chemical in the brain. This chemical, lowers your immune systems ability to operate, making you feel worst by leading to lots of illnesses. The exercising helps create counter chemicals to stop this happening. :-/

On the 'leading their own lives', no one from my childhood is in contact with me, I've learnt people come and go. You've ever got to go out and find new company, or try and keep connections with them yourself. But don't expect someone to be there tomorrow for you.

Honestly, its impossible to always be positive, so don't try and be that, just try and get by. I'm 30. You can also try and ask for anti-depression pills, but note their a long term thing and sometimes... I swear their only a placebo.
