The title pretty much explains it...

Wait it out.

Music, movies, games, reading sometimes helps. But I enjoy all those when I'm feeling up, too.

I play the blues. It's saved my life at times.

I fix myself a cup of hot tea and listen to soothing music or watch some movie I loved as a child. Or find someone to talk with. Always good to have friends there for you.

Go for a drive. Or drink a beer...or 8.

1.) Can't exactly do it in my situation... I don't exactly feel comfortable posting it on the forums...

2.) Already doing that... sadly it's not helping
Can you post some good songs...?
Good idea...

i don't get down or depressed, or stuck in ruts. Stressed out either.

I recognize those things for what they are, pointless wastes of time. instead of focusing on things like "nothing is going the way i want it to" or "i don't have enough time to finish that project in time" i simply try a new solution to better my situation.

and if there is nothing i can do to improve or solve my problems, i do nothing about them and just don't give a damn about the consequences or how they should make me feel.

and people say apathy is a bad thing

Running or punching a sandbag for example.

Listen to music. I can always find a song that puts me back in a good mood.

But it's all down to the reason youre feeling down. Different things would have different solutions. I try to just divert my attention from the matter if it's not in my control.

I smile and move on, lifes too short to waste a second of it being sad.

Drink hard liquor

I play video games like RPG's mainly to blow off some steam.

well, every one should be doing that regardless of how they feel. tried hornidos when i was in denver, its much sweeter than 1800.

If I can find a rainbow I'll try to get close enough to svck it into a syringe so I can inject it into my brain via my eye socket. That's never worked out, though, so I usually just do something to take my mind off whatever's bothering me.

Probably because Cuervo is demon urine being passed off as tequila.

Watch anime, especially if it's of the cute girls doing cute things variety.

I don't get sad really but I guess, drink.

When I realize I'm heading down Depression Way, I go for a walk, alone along or upon the river which is very near my home. I meander or walk briskly depending on the temp. I observe the wildflowers that are blooming, the leaves and foliage that are turning colors in fall, the ice crystals forming, the speed of the rivers flow, the animals and birds I meet along the way. I find a nice spot and sit on a log or a rock and think of what's bothering me and whatever it is, I lay it down by the river and leave it there. By the time I come home I have realized that nothing is worth giving up the beauty of this life and that anger never solves anything and that I have a finite number of days to enjoy the beauty and good that this world hold and resolve to enjoy every moment of it.

Don't let 'em get you down...and if you go down...get the hell up.

I don't get depressed very easily, waste of time. But when I do... Sometimes my ostrich kinks electronicaly, Wednesdays everytime everyday duh. Kudos if you crack it...

six.

Turn off the gravity in my room and turn off all lights, thereby causing myself to lack a frame of reference and no longer be able to feel down.

That, or watch funny videos of cats on youtube.

I like screwdrivers

Play video games or listen to music.

Listen to music (usually Simon & Garfunkel), read a good book, maybe play some video games.

Sure, this one is my favourite. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3JZa2lq2pU

I meant I play them on my guitar. Blues is very easy to play, and imo it's the most healing and cathartic music to play. I don't really express my feelings verbally, or even think much about them, so for someone like me it's a great outlet.
