If there is something in a relationship that is troubling you, have a serious conversation with the person. If you're feeling depressed because you're convinced your husband is cheating on you or that your best friend is stealing your money, then it's time to  confront the person and work towards a solution. Though you may wish to be alone and away from others, it is good for your mood to spend time with others. Rely on your network of friends and family members, as well as your significant other if you have one. Spend as much time as you can hanging out with people who make you feel positive about yourself and the world. Good friends will not only help you cope with your depression by talking about it, but they can make you feel more loved and supported.

Keeping a busy schedule will force you to stay active, focused, and thinking about the next thing on your plate.

Time to do something silly that makes you laugh. Outdoor activities. Don't spend all of your time indoors.
