DEALING WITH DEPRESSION. 

Life is not rosy, bright and fair all the time. There are periods of despair and despondency, seasons of darkness and depression. Could be because of loss of irreplaceable loved ones, could be money challenges, relationship crises, unmet expectations and so on. There are many factors that foster and or lead to depression. I can say from experience, it's not a good experience, it's a dark place.

You could try some of these tips to help with depression :
Faith: You can trust your unseen future into the hands of an Unseen but ever present GOD. 
You can hand over your impossible situation to The GOD who knows NO impossibility. 

Sunshine : do come out of your house and take in some sunshine especially in the morning.

Diet : please fight the urge to eat without control. You don't want to add obesity to your list of challenges. Do Eat bananas, they boost 'feel good hormones' and also contain potassium in very significant amounts, that will help steady your blood pressure. 

Soul-soothing music: this is potent. It calms nerves and relaxes the mind. Take care not to play the tunes that remind you of your problems or your loss.

Art: it could be drawings, making craft. ,painting. You can express your emotions on paper with drawings. 

Talent: you can pick one talent or skill you have and work on it, explore it, be better at it. 

Exercise : take walks in the evening in a less congested area. You could run, do aerobics, dance, engage in body building. 

Laughter: yes laughter is good medicine for heart matters. Go for funny articles, videos that can make you laugh. You can hang out with funny people. 

Charity: helping someone who is in need may help you come out of depression. 

If you can, fix the problem. 
These are some steps to take, but trust me, it's easier said than done. 
Depression is a dark, hard,place, I pray we all make it to the light without losing it.
