could you depression be a mask partly for anger? Is there someone that deeply gets you angry? Try gently saying "Ouch that hurt" if someone offends you. You will get a response and you will feel better....pray...count your blessings...read happy books...or spy novel so intense you can not think anything else...try Daniel Silva...get hooked on a good book...drink hot tea...walk...rock...good luck and God Bless YOU whereever you are...

@lizziemae -- thanks for the suggestions for day-to-day coping with depression. These sounds like great suggestions for self-care, which is so important with this diagnosis.

I also like the "ouch, that hurt" suggestion. I have found this effective, as it doesn't really put the other person in a defensive posture, yet they seem to quickly realize they've caused hurt.

@lizziemae -- if you feel comfortable sharing, do you have a diagnosis of depression?
