Becoming sad and depressed happens to the best of us, we all have days when we are just not ourselves but you can easily help yourself by talking to a friend or a random on the bus, whatever makes you feel better. Just give it a go, smile and take a deep breath.
These are some of the things you could do when felling down:
• Recognising and challenging your critical inner voice
• Identifying and feeling your anger
• Engaging in aerobic activity
• Putting yourself in social or non-isolated situations
• Doing activities you once enjoyed, even when you don't feel like it
• Watching a funny movie or show
• Refusing to punish yourself for feeling bad
• talking to a friend, family member or a therapist.

This story shows you how to control your depression and help yourself and others overcome these wild feelings of insecurity. "I learnt that rather running away from my problems, its better to embrace them".
