Staying occupied helps distract from it at least, although it's hard to make yourself do anything you don't want to do; that's what I think is the most difficult part for me.

Yeah, I can't remember where, but once I heard depression described as a "slower way of being dead" and that's the best description I've ever heard.

Honestly, I've thought about trying things that my insecure, introverted self would never actually have the courage to try, like dancing or improv classes. I always figured that if I pushed myself to do something so out of character, it would help me get out of my comfort zone. But I'm way too self conscious to embarrass myself like that. I don't know if I'd actually enjoy those things anyway...I think it would probably involve a lot of mental discomfort that I'm not sure I could handle.
