What's the quickest way to get rid of depression?

(((Briley)))

baby...that prick is nothing to get down about. the one who ought to be depressed is his poor wife...she's stuck with him. You're not a home wrecker...you didn't even know he was married...and when you found out you dumped him.

You need to go out dancing my lass...with your best girlfriends...eat massive amounts of chocolate and smoke some good weed...and talk about what ba$tards all men are and plot hideous revenges that you would like to play on him....till you cry with laughter.

I love you....and so many people here do too...you have no need to get down on yourself over this I think it shows what a wonderful person you are.

Depression wont go away over night, although it would be nice if it did. It will take time for someone suffering from depression to get better. First its best to find out what you are depressed about and why. It may be that you are too busy and don't often get a break, you are always worrying about different things in your life or maybe you don't know why you just feel depressed for no particular reason. Next, if you can you have to try and fix this thing that is stressing you out. Talking to someone about it would possibly be just what you are needing. Take regular exercise, get outside often and eat healthily-just keep your body healthy inside. This will release stress and make you feel much better about yourself. If you feel this is not working then go and see your doctor, you may need to see a counselor or get some medication for your illness. Hope I helped you in any sort of way and hope you get better soon!

Well, you've already taken the first step: acknowledging you deserve better. He was the liar, he took away your ability to make an informed choice, and so you aren't a "homewrecker" in any sense.

Getting over an experience like this takes time; you can try to rush it, but in the end it won't be fair to either you or the next guy in your life. Talking it out with your friends would be a good step to putting it behind you. Then just go about your life as you normally would; you're a smart, attractive, and warm young woman, I'm sure there are plenty of guys for you to pick from, you don't have to settle. Find the right one for you, one who respects you enough to tell you the truth. (And that is the bare minimum) And don't forget, as much as you want to be with someone, maybe some solo Briley time right now would be a good thing, to help you regain perspective and confidence.

I noticed that there is no way to get happy real quick in life. You just go on, determined to live another day. Determined to make yourself a better person, and to try and lead a successful life or do what you love. Before you know it, you'll ask yourself "Am I happy?" And you will answer yes.

I grew up in a foster home, and all I wanted was to get through the next day, and do good in school. I didn't worry too much about social pressures, but sometimes they got a hold of me, and I just kept on to the next day. Now, I have a wonderful family, a freaky *** wife, kid's on the honor roll, decent career, and 2 decent cars. It's been a damn good adventure, and I can't wait for next year.

My first suggestion is to not feel as though you're a home wrecker. He wasn't honest (nothing new for men) and HE's the one who's married. He wrecked it himself, if it was wrecked.

As for getting over this depression, I don't know as there is a really quick way. I've found, though, that talking to a trustworthy friend can be very helpful. I've been through some sort of depressing things recently myself, and I can thank a friend for putting up with my terrible behavior and still being there when I needed to vent.

Sometimes you have to take life one step at a time to really gain any distance from emotional havoc. Try listening to your favorite music, go out dancing, watch funny movies, read... mostly I think doing things - keeping busy - helps a great deal.

Well talk to yourself about this. When you meet new people get to really know them as you need to be frioends no pushing thru or they are hiding crap as being married. you did not know and left the guy. He did it. If you were aware you would be a home wrecker. But start asking questions. Find out about three family friends. Get to know them and then you will know and get the truth before you sleep. Also depression is worked on not just gone quickly. Think about what makes you happy how to think things thru. Just do not meet people as you do on line and call that a friend. You know think farther than whats being said that day that minute. Good luck and keep thinking and getting thru.

I wish to God I knew. Sometimes it is caused by a chemical imbalance and the exercising can help that. I have been on the other end of your situation. I am the wife of a former cheater and I am having a difficult time getting past this. Good luck. Try to think happy thoughts, play happy songs, watch funny shows. Help others, that is a good way to boost morale

If you are trying to find "natural" approaches(vs chemical/meds),then obviously as you said excersize is wonderful.

Also keeping yourself BUSY,it may sound "simple",but it's SO effective...join an online group,take up reading(only positive books ofcourse/motivational/spiritual/self-help,ect),you could take up a temporary volunteering position,there's nothing like using your time to help others(to boost your self-worth/esteem),also the obvious use music/movies/ect(and agin only "feel good" type music/movies).

Now that you are out of this destructive relashionship,this will open up all kinds of extra time for you to take out and get to KNOW YOURSELF,you need some "me-time" so you can figure out who you are,what you want....this will all help you to become stronger and thus KNOW/FEEL when to avoid certain people/situations before they can ever get to a point of affecting your life:-)

Good Luck!

A holiday! Getting away from everything that reminds you of your previous sutuation for a while. Start doing new and intersting things, interact with good genuine people.

i'm the same, I think exercise will help me, it's a good quick fix but short lived. these times do pass but only with the support of good friends and new experiences.
