Please keep the good advice flowing.

Just don't cut out the PC time so much, that you start to MISS ur FRIENDS here (on the BB) and in the game! HANG IN THERE, You CAN get past this. It's gonna take time, and yes you WILL have a few bad days (I still do), but the GOOD days WILL eventually outweigh the bad ones, so that they don't bother you as much as they do now!
FRIENDS are the best medicine to depression (they don't charge you for their services, and you never run out of them)!

Been feeling pretty good lately, been to the gym a couple times. Trying to get in the habbit.

There will be days in the future where you will feel so down you don't even want to get out of bed.

It will feel very real to you but you have to say to yourself that it is not real. That is the depression hitting you and just like in a fight when you catch a punch hard you have to resist the urge to go with the depression and try to fight it.

The best way is as they say here go out and excersize. Even if you feel like there is no way you can get dressed and go out do it. If you are afraid of seeing people go for a run. If you are lonely go to the gym. Just do it and make sure you don't stop exercising until you start to feel better.

It will come back again and again. You need to realize when it does that you can fight it and what you are feeling is not real. It is the depression attacking you. Fight back. Never give in.

The days you feel up do something new and exciting. The days you feel down get showered and shaved and go and exercise. Never lay in bed. Never try to rationally think why your life is so bad. It is not bad, it is just the depression making you feel that way.

Good luck man.

if you are trolling then brilliant troll, if you are serious and are interested in a possible solution that is worth a try my suggestion is gojo ryu,  if you can find a dojo teaching sansei goju ryu even better.  attend every night they are open.  if you want google manny saavedra and see if there is a school near you.  the workouts are phenomenal and the added benefit will be knowing that any dweeb you meet at the next con could easily be table fare even while you are still a kyu belt.

Most of these people are full of it.  It's not drugs and it's not sports and it's not working out.  It's staying busy and occupied.  Find something that YOU love and do it.

Couldn't sports or working out keep one busy and occupied?

Yup, it could.  But although there may be something to the "a healthy body equals a  healthy mind" theory, the reality is that the most therapeutic aspect of the activity is that you are doing something that you enjoy that is occupying you.  I have intermittently struggled with depression and I have found that the worst times correspond with the boring times.  If working out gets you off, go for it, but it may not be someone else’s cup of tea.  In my experience something as simple as researching and building a model of my favorite AH bird can be greatly therapeutic and satisfying.  It's all up to the individual.  Activity is the key.
