I was like that for a long time. I think it was just a few years ago, actually. I p. much just secluded myself from everybody and put up a fake front when I was with my friends. It was odd, like there was no source of depression, yet it seemed like everything I did was meaningless. I skipped school a lot, and slept almost 14 hours a day. It could've been school, it could've been problems at home. I don't remember, and that's also what happens. I block out all my memories of being depressed, and bad things that have happened in the past. Luckily though, I've been out of that for a few years now.

The end result of depression is always the same, and it's that you'll eventually come out of it. There is no such thing as perma-depressed, not even for manic depressants or bipolar people. They may go through it more than the normal person, but it always clears up.

Most people feel a bit down or are sad and call it a depression. Much like "I don't really like spiders" isn't arachnophobia. "My head kinda hurts" isn't a migraine. "Sometimes I'm having an imaginative argument with myself" isn't schizophrenia.
... You understand  what am I getting at?

Either way, when I'm down, I usually draw and lisen to music.

Go into nature. Fresh air and cloud watching or something like that. listening to a river or something like that works too. On occasion, the gf helps to clear the mood too.
This is your home now. So take advantage of everything here, except me.

Q.  What do you do when you're depressed?

A. I get depressed when I think. And sometimes I just wake up in a foul mood.
Well I take my antidepressants if I can find them and think of reason not to die untill I fall asleep :D Usually I can not think of anything, but I also can not come up with reason to die. It's not like one should die just because usual aims that are set for humans (you now these - family, good/entertaining job) bore you and the possibility of living a "normal" life just makes you want to die.

When I am depressed , which happens a lot now because of relationshi(t)ps and school I try to seclude myself , find a warm place . Then i watch few episodes of Gaki no Tsukai which is funny japanese show and then when I'm in better mood i try to watch anime till it gets really late and i fall can asleep .
Also reading manga is fine but only after you calm down a bit .

How do you people sit still when you're depressed, that just cascades the effects...

I only sit still when depressed if my brain is working a billion thoughts a second.

I think I fixed it to what it's supposed to say... Anyways, point is pumping endorphins / stimulants into yourself isn't a bad idea.

Natural or otherwise.

Haven't heard of endorphins producing more just because one is moving, will look that up, but it still does not change the fact that I master up all I can just to get home and not stay somewhere outside. Well usually I can get to my room and fall in bed. As it usually takes up all my strength I fall asleep quite fast and can go on when I wake up :)
Do not see any reason to make myself move even more if all I need is a sleep and some drugs in the morning  ;D

It's called Runner's High.

But it applies to a lot of physical activity.

Doesn't Runner's High deal with adrenalin not endorphin?
