Find a cause to fight for and or someone that needs your help. Shake things up. If everything else fails I always resort to freaking myself out until I'm scared enough to do something different.
I tend to go through bouts of sadness. Typically when this happens its because things have gone wrong in life and I'm not doing anything about it because I'm still holding on to the present/what's draining me. It can be draining, depressing and just make things worse. Try finding the source of what's making you sad and what you can do to change and make it better. Also time alone might be what you need if you're pushing people away...though for me that's just a symptom of something that's recently happened. I don't want to put myself out on a limb etc etc.
Another thing could be health issues. If somethings not working with your body you might need a check up. Can't hurt. Our bodies tend to reflect our minds.
I hope this helps. I'm not feeling so hot myself and I just...gah lol

The Guest House
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.
Be grateful for whatever comes.
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

that is a nice quote or poem...for me depression isn't real, maybe there is something in your life or missing from your life that is making you feel "blue" . gotta try and listen to yourself and find what can make you feel the opposite of "blue"
I'm struggling with a really intense bout of depression right now. I usually have to figure out why I'm depressed and how to properly feel about the situation. If I should be angry, sad or take it as an opportunity to shed some dead weight. If I choose to indulge the base emotion behind the depression, I'll either try to simulate that feeling as much as I can with music or let happenstance take the reins and go the path of least resistance for the day, remembering to remind myself not to "fight the day". I don't find anger does much for me except buy me physical space, so I don't like being angry.
If I find it hurts so much and so deeply that I lose faith in myself, I lose strength and start to doubt my place in the universe... I will do anything to make the pain stop, to escape the waves just crashing down on me, over and over again. If I move from depression into despair, it's actually a relief because I know the way home from despair. Then it just becomes armor, because I can't be hurt that way any more.

Is it natural? Is Scorpio depression a thing? How do you overcome it? Because lately I feel so overcome with depressed emotions and wanting to push everyone away. But I know I shouldn't.
