What are some good, fun ways to get out of a depression funk?
Hi Joshharris12,
I love that you are thinking positively while being depressed, its a great first step. Bowling is always fun, not too expensive and helps get rid of built up stress. i'm not sure where you are located, but its hot here in RI and I like to go to the beach to watch the sunset, kick around in the sand and jump on a swing in the playground. Sometimes feeling like a kid and acting like one for just a bit, makes all the difference in the world.

Listening to songs that make you want to dance
Well I am not a big beach fan. But I do love my music.
Get together a playlist of great songs to listen while you're depressed. No melancholy or love songs but upbeat fun songs that make you glad you're alive. And do feel free to share the playlist :)
Well anything by the Bee Gees. I believe in a thing called love. Alive by P.O.D. System of a Down. Slipknot. Judas Priest Breaking the Law and Pain killer. Twisted Sister.
My son (ok, me too) have all the cd's from music of the down. I will have him help me load it later. I also like Disturbed and Stone Sour to get me going.
Disturbed is ok. I personally can't stand Stone Sour haha.
nice, I know, its not for everyone. I listen to all kinds of music: pop, classical, classic rock, modern rock, alternative, jazz - just don't like country too much and really don't like rap!
Things i do when in a funk
Jog - take in Nature
Drive - pound the music
Sports - it's not about winning, it's about playing
Clean My House - at least I am getting something done :-)
Project - Start a blog, a twitter account, build a house, volunteer
Good luck,
Keep hope alive

Thanks Drake.
I will try doing that. When I feel terrible I just don't know what to do.
Nice to meet you!
