what thing cheer you up when you are really depress and dont even feel like dancing? well...... i just need a hug from the girl i like, or a kiss ... or what-the-thing that 15 years old boy wants from their goddessessssss (i wonder if thats enough S)} how bout you?
I don't think I've been too depressed to dance though... When I'm depressed, I get this mad urge to go salsa dancing. Salsa is an instant, guaranteed cure for depression as far as I'm concerned.
Alternatively, when I'm depressed and there's nobody around to give me a hug or dance, I put on "Ahe Ahe" (from Orquesta la Palabra's album "Breakthrough"). No idea what the song's about, but it always cheers me up.
While I do get depressed enough to not even want to dance, it is still going out and dancing that picks up my spirits again. One really-off night, I even had to walk in on a swing lesson just to "get my fix".
Of course, a hug would also help greatly, but the positive non-judgemental (and even accepting -- [bowing=repeatedly]I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy![/bowing]) female contact from dancing is the closest thing to a hug that I can get.
Oh no, no, no, no!
I just can't take tango music when I'm feeling down. It depresses me even more. I had to stay away from AT classes for a couple of months because of this "sad tango music problem"... Instead, I increased my salsa doses. Much happier music.
When I'm depressed I like to find a 'cave' to do some self-healing (of coz, this could be done after dancing it all off out there :lol: ), via some intense analyse of self (but not allow yourself to wallow in it for too long..... set a time limit).
I find that I soon get bored out of my brain being depressed, so I just get over it & get dancing s'more :wink: !
most of the times i got depress because of girls..... umm not like they are a monster it just that sometimes i do stupid things infront of the girl i like...... i mean geeezuuus wat the hell i did that for?! know what i mean?

A good trashy book. Go to a movie by myself. Fifteen minutes in the ring with an able partner/opponent. A pack of ho hos. A festival of horror or sci fi videos. Comfort movie and popcorn.
If I am feeling very low, which can be quite low when you are normally like this => :banana: I will try and remind myself how lucky I am, go and do something "nice and or new" or even given in to tears. I find that the tears help to clear things, clears my head and then I can be :banana: again. If I don't, I feel as if there is a fog round my head for days and spend hours on the phone. :|
I don't like to use the word depressed because what I feel is no way comparable to someone who has clinical/chemical depression :? A friend was diagnosed with depression a few years ago and he would say to me that he wouldn't/couldn't get out of bed for days and even felt suicidal sometimes :cry:
I try really hard to find something to laugh/smile about
