For me it has been mostly, "C'mon, it's not that bad" or "You've got nothing to be depressed about" like Sivol said, and "There are a lot of people out there that have things worse than you". Honestly, I don't think I can be "fixed" of my depression because once its there, it seems like I wouldn't ever be able to erase the thoughts or the sadness I have now, unless someone invents the memory zapper thing from Men In Black, but even then, my chemicals in my body would still be there to bring me down.

And yes, there are lots of people out there that I'm sure have things worse than me, there are horrible things that go on in the universe. I can't live in a place such as this.
