When i ruminate too much i have to listen to music otherwise i'm stuck like that for the rest of the day, ruminate creates an annoying beacon inside the brain that prevents it from relaxing or in my wording for it "breathing".

Lately i've also found that mentally killing off annoyances that drag you down people, items, objects etc etc even the people who have done nothing wrong but are simply the source of your anguish.

The problem is that it is not always possible to "mentally kill off the annoyances that drag you down" - especially people - I tend to be really asocial (not up to the level of a hikkimori though), but that doesn't help when you don't have a choice but to meet up and speak with people (so for me people are one of the most depressing things - they stress me out a lot)...

Quite someting your answer here.
"Once I'm in a mindset that isn't quite so negative, then I have to think about what's bothering me, why it's bothering me, and what I can do about it." - the bad thing is that when a person can't do anything on the matter he starts ruminating over it - and the depression gets even worse...


Yep, exactly right.  That's why, as I said earlier, I've progressed to a philosophy of acceptance about certain things.  There's an adage that says, "God give me the strength to change the things I can change, to accept the things I can't change, and to know the difference between the two."  I think there's some real wisdom there (at least the non-God related part).  I still struggle with depression at times; I hit low points in 2001 and again in 2006/2007, but overall I think I've got a better perspective now than I have in past years.  And when I'm down, I do try to remember some of the positive things in life; it helps sometimes.
 
Having the proper perspective is important.  As my roommate likes to say, "We both have white people problems."  That always makes me laugh.

I cook. Granted, I also cook when I'm happy, anxious, hungry or expecting company. Any passion of mine helps distract me long enough to pull myself out of shit.

The title's pretty much self-explanatory, however you could add aslo what causes you to be depressed.

Ready...Set...Go:

I get depressed from stress.
I think training helps a little when you're depressed.

I got depressed when my dad died, took 12 years to hit me.
I get drunk and smoke alot of cigarettes.... very self destructive but in a rather passive sort of way.

Well... I get depressed very easy))) And as a solution I buy Coca Cola, chocolate, or fast food, turn on anime. I forget about my problems after couple of episodes. ^^

I go out for a walk and as I walk, I think of my depression and get even more depressed.

I usually just deal with it. I used to get depressed a lot when I didn't do my work/study, because that caused stress and the stress caused depression. I try to find the source of the depression, and work on solving it. Otherwise, I'll stay depressed and it'll get worse.

Fresh air is the solution to everything.
And workout helps a lot.

To get out of the house, jog or go for a swim. Or just walk, until i feel better.

Once a friend sent me this song when i was down, and the lyrics still make me cheer up when Im feeling sad:

Totally my case! With the difference that I try doing my work/study and if I don't manage I get really stressed and after that really depressed...

Depressed? Meh. I'm never depressed,but when i'm sad (≠ being depressed) i watch anime, read, or sleep, because i'll eventually forget the cause forever anyways, if not, i'll just simply stop caring about it. "Forgive and forget" once said one wise man.

I write more of my depressing novel or go for a skate to turn it into anger and destory myself on the concrete.
