Sometimes it just takes time and nothing really helps. However, when depressed I take my meds, get exercise, try to have a good sleep routine, socialise and try to keep going to work. I don't know if they get me out of depression but it certainly seems to keep it from worsening. Oh, and I listen to a lot of music and try to play guitar and sing. Of course sometimes nothing seems to help but time.

What is the longest period of pure depression that you have had?
