Maybe not... I know that before I began using that trick, I was depressed for a very long time, or maybe just stoned, I don't know

I find that helping others helps me to forget my own problems.[/quote]
That's something I personally experienced, although it was not about depression.
I had just missed my train, you know, the last one before the big gap
I had to wait more than 2 hours for a stupidity that had made me miss the train for barely one minute 
So I was waiting, ruminating about the cruel fate that had caused that small late, and had had such terrible consequences :angry: Then suddenly, someone obviously running right before me to have his/her train, lost his/her bag which fell and emptied on the ground with many small objects With someone else, I jumped on all that I could find to put it back in the bag, grabbing and putting quickly. As soon as all the objects were back in the bag, the person thanked us and began to run again. I have not the slightest idea of who was that person, nor whether he/she got the train, but right after that I realized that my anger was gone. Maybe I had missed my train, but in the same time, maybe someone else had got his/her train thanks to me.Nothing to do with depression, but anger and depression have in common to be shaken away with great difficulty
