start running
pick up a hobby you used to love and start doing it again
try to relax when you can
get some perspective
depression sucks

It's an evil, clingy little bastard.
Like seff said - get outside as much as you can. Excercise is really realyl good at getting your mind back in focus.

trying... nothing helps
even that, two best friends of mine - made lots of shit for me. so lots of bad things are happening :/

Yea, excersize. We all hit the depressed state as freelancers Andreas... it usually doesn't last that long. Take a break from it all, just for a week or so, if you think you need more, then go for 10 days...go visit a hot country, your mom, anything to take your mind off of wanting to do better all the time.

or go visit a hot mom :)

listen to a RATT album while holding your junk.. that helps if your are feeling particularly low.
helps me anyway

i kinda got into a cycle like that this summer right after i graduated. i didn't do anything for two weeks and just felt like the worst.
i just made myself get back into the swing of things --- went out a lot, rode a lot more, did a lot more non work related art...

go to church. A real one. Talk to the minister.

eat some real, organic food, proper fresh vegetables, get up early and walk in the sunshine, hard and fast, get a cracked copy of cubase off a bittorrent site and thrash the hell out of your headphones and eardrums with your own brand of sonic filth..Whats inside needs to come out, theres nothing wrong with you, but sometimes life/energy/ideas just gets a bit backed up as you grow and your personality changes.
I have suffered with the null numb pointlessness of depression and I feel for you, just get stuff out of yourself - energy, ideas good and bad, if you get your body working out, your mind will follow - all in it's own time.
Sometimes depression is biochemical and linked to something you are not getting from your diet, sometimes it brings the gift of introspection, sometimes it happens to force you to do something different to get where you need to be on your journey - which, btw - is always where you need to be :). I wish you hope and happiness, and all that is yours - good luck, my friend - there's a happy, rewarding, interesting world out there that needs you, just make the first steps. :)

yeah, I went through this shit a couple of years ago myself. It sucks but you'll make it through it just fine.
Like everyone else said, get some exercise, like running or squash or whatever.
Also, lay off the booze for a couple of weeks. That's probably a big part of the problem right now. You need to detox. Eat some relatively healthy food for a couple of weeks. Make sure you drink a boatload of water and exercise. That will help with the physical part.
Then, mentally, you need to sit down and decide what in your life isn't happening the way you want it to, then make a plan to fix it. Don't dwell on the shitty things just identify them and then fix them.
Also, try meditating (in whatever way you feel comfortable) and getting yourself "off the box" as much as possible (both computer and television).
Also, to get better sleep I take a Calcium-Magnesium vitamin, a mutli-vitamin and a couple valerian (not Valium, Valerian) and it helps big time.
I checked your site by the way, nice work.

nice site. get lost in the wilderness with bare essentials for as long as possible. be quiet. try not to talk to anyone including yourself, for as long as possible.
good luck.
booze is waaaay over rated....

take martial arts classes. thats what my friend did, it really helped him focus and think clearly. i may try it as well.
- Point50
yes. lay off of the booze. it just helps the cycle along. believe me, I went thru about 2 years of trying to remedy my depression with alcohol and it took me nowhere but to the bottom. yeah, it felt great while i was doing it, but that next morning, I had a clear view of the same miserable shit all over again.

I can't agree more with these guys. Hitting the gym worked wonders for me. You just have to say 'Fuck it, I'm not letting this get the better of me', and just do something that you usually wouldn't do that would give you a positive perspective on your current outlook.
Hit the gym, go to the beach, travel, run through the park, go shopping.
Don't stay home and listen to music, don't go to museums, and think about anything when you're about to sleep.
Good luck mate!

what Visia said... i went throu all this too in the past... nothing too dramatic to do... just take one step at the time... even NT worked for me...

go hang out with some friends, that usually helps. Spend little or no time in front of the computer (can be very depressing).
- Bullitt0
you'll snap out of it eventually, do as others are saying, do something outside, do some running, shadow boxing, bricklaying is what churchill did to fight off the black dog. But if one day Tyler durden appears next to you on the sofa, thats when you should go see the doctor...

rise up early. run. watch the trees. drink water. stop boozing. after a few days you'll feel better and you'll go back to your previous life. don't do that. keep the changes.
change. changing is good.
