Tip: If you're troubled by depression, stay away from sugar, even the "healthy" natural sugars found in fruit or honey. These sugars make it into your bloodstream much faster than complex carbohydrates, such as whole grains.

The first thing you need to do is seek out or work to develop supportive relationships. You will be surprised that many people around you have gone through many of the same things that you are currently experiencing and can be fantastic support systems. Many of those people around you will have not only found ways to get past their depression but have suggestions to help you move on to a better period of life. The goal is to have people who are truly close to you as your support system. They will certainly be there for you and keep your conversations to themselves which will be the bond that starts you on the path to recovery.

Tip: You need to get out of the circle that comprises your depression symptoms. Focusing on the negativity in your life will make your depression worse.

One of the worst things a person can do when depressed it sit alone in their home and dwell on all of their problems. It is wise to stay social and in constant contact with others to take part in conversations of a different nature than what is affecting you negatively. One thing you should not do in a social situation is to turn to alcohol to forget your issues and enjoy yourself. You do not need to take up a habit that will only mask your issues for a short period of time and could lead to an addictive personality.

Tip: Getting an outside hobby or interest is a good way to lessen the effects of depression. Not having enough activities to do or interests to get excited about is a very common reason and factor that will lead to depression.

If you have difficulties turning to others as a support system, try to keep a log of all your negative thoughts to simply let them out. You do not want to read the information over and over as it won't do a thing for you. You just want to get the problems off your chest. Writing is also a great way to reduce stress as it frees the mind, even if it is scripting what currently ails you.

Tip: Take a bath if you have depression symptoms that are not passing quickly. Sitting in the bath while listening to soft music or reading a book can help you feel much better.

Try your best to get a full 8 hours of sleep per night. The mind will be clear, the body relaxed and you will feel better to the point you can cope with your issues in a better manner.

Tip: Improper eating can contribute to depression. If your diet is poor, this may have a negative effect on how you process your thoughts, and leads to a depression cycle that you cannot find a way out of.

Relaxation techniques are also a fantastic way to combat depression. Breathing exercises, out with the old in with the new, will relieve a lot of the pressure you feel from the strains of depression. Try to take time each day to breath deeply and exhale slowly.

These suggestions are just a starting point to help you avoid moments of depression or reduce the impact it may have on you. It is always a good idea to speak to a physician if you are suffering from depression but in the meantime, these tips will help you get past moments of extreme negativity.
