How do I stop myself from falling in to a bout of depression.

Eat better, exercise, read books on cognitive behavioral therapy, force yourself to be social.

you don't really. you just keep trying to live your life and focus on the good.

when you feel sad do you actually do anything to fight it? do you take a night off to hang with your friends, or just have a beer and enjoy some video games, or listen to some soft but chill music?

most people start getting depressed and they just give in.

When I feel sad, I just lay in bed - if I'm not at work etc - and do only that. I don't have any pals that I can constantly hit up, as they live a few hours away, it's a bit lonely where I am.
But yeah nah, I guess you have a point - treat myself to good things rather than let feeling bad take over me.
Thanks for the advice.

no problem man. if you keep getting depressed there is probably a reason. maybe address it. it seems nearly impossible from this side but once you're on the other side you're like 'oh that really was easy...'

I already eat good and exercise daily.
But yeah, seeing as it's a bit harder for me to be social since I don't really have many pals here, what else is there to do?

Ok so I think we found your problem. Of course you're depressed when you don't have friends, you're just going to have to go get some. Try to befriend co-workers, join some sort of club, I dunno but this is definitely a big factor in your depression
