Question for ya: how do you deal with being down?

WAIT. DON’T WORRY, I’M FINE!!! IT’S ALL RAINBOWS FUCKING UNICORNS WHILE SLEEPING ON A BED OF BUNNIES, OVER HERE!!!

And Lindi here is fine, too! 

But I was wondering about it, the other day.  I know how I deal with a bit o’ sadness come over me, I tend to let myself brood for a bit, then, when I’m ready, push it down, crowd it out my reminding myself about all that’s going right, busying myself with something I love doing, going out and finding someone worse off than me and hanging with them until I feel better.  Got myself lots of wee tricks for it. 

But I’m figuring other folks got other ways of dealing with things.  And I’m all about new perspectives…long as they’re just like mine. 

AND SO, how do you deal with depression? Do you ignore it? Let it enfold you like a comfy blanket? Fight it like it’s the plague?
