What do you do to avoid being depressed

[Adventurer]

I have gone through depression for the past years and I have been trying to overcome it and prevent it. The following things have really helped me in doing that;
1. Leaving most social media sites that were not really useful for me.
2. Talking with friends and trusted people about what I am going through.
3. Reading self help books and practicing what I learn so as to know those things that work for me.
4. Learning to let go of my addictions and bad habits and replacing them with good habits.

These and many other things have helped me fight and prevent depression. I have become a self improvement guru because of this, but it is worth all the work.

Your tips are very good ones to fight depression, especially the part of leaving social media, it puts so much pressure on people and the part of staying with friends and family that impact our lives positively is very good too

When ever i am feeling depressed, i just take some time to play some good music and think back to where i started from, and where i am now. I may not be where i want to be, but i take comfort in the fact that i am nolonger in the same position i started. And am grateful for that. I do feel betrayed and sad about those who left me, mostly the recent one my ex... Someone i thought would be the one. But i just play a good movie, read a book or play a game then i channel does negative energy into something productive to be one step closer to my goal. Feeling depressed would not take you anywhere but rather slow you down.

When you feel depressed. Most times, everything and anything around you or close to you gets you irritated easily. Just take a break and go somewhere quite for a good while

To avoid being, if you're a type that is always lost in thought, avoid always being alone and move closer to your loved ones. Always hangout with the people you live the most. Take things as simple as they are. Nothing is ever too big that the way you see it.
