How do you get out of depressive bouts?

I know that mine have been getting worse and worse ... even though I'm going to therapy once a week and we have been up'ing my meds.

I have noticed that my bouts of depression have also been coming with more self injury thoughts... I made a promise to my grandfather, godfather, uncle.. and lots of other people.. that I would NEVER ever self injure... but the thoughts are there.

How does everyone else .. get out of their depressive bouts? Because mine suck and I just want them to go away.

" i hear you on this. i feel the same way. the self destructive feelings come in waves to me. some days i really want to hurt myself, anything to take away the emotional pain and replace it with physical, because that's something easier to deal with. i feel like i'm not in control, but being able to hurt myself would put me in control of my life. i haven't ever seriously hurt myself, because i'm afraid of scars and being rejected even more if possible. I know what you mean about not wanting to hurt yourself because of promises to family members. i'm the same way. i feel that by hurting myself, i'll make them ashamed of me. the only things that make me feel better are my cat and dog and, this is completely random, but a video on youtube. the song is just so ridiculous that it always brings a smile to my face, no matter how bad i feel. it's called seifer called the witch doctor if you ever wanna listen. ^_^ if you ever wanna chat or message me, i'll always be here for you.
