The thing is with friends is this: "Ask not what your friends can do for you, ask what you can do for your friends." Follow this motto and you'll soon be coated with friends. Of course, you have to draw the line at becoming a complete toady.

Mac - "I'd like to remind everyone that imagining how worse it is for someone else is irrational and stupid and only helps assuage guilt. Instead imagine how much better your life can be (within reason). You aren't those other people and you can never feel what they feel, trying to solves nothing."
in ten years search apolyton and reread that. youll hopefully understand it by then. Humility.
Dissident has a good point. dont take it all too seriously.
and someone mentioned "memorize lame jokes." another good one. so long as they are lame enough jokes...

Exercise most DEFINITELY helps. Without going into the sordid details y'all don't care about, at one point I was in love (not in lust, seriously in love) with a girl I couldn't have for various reasons. I was depressed to the point where I'd act like a total ass to most of my friends at times. But you know what helped? Exercise. For me, that meant getting even more heavily involved into martial arts, working out on heavy bags, etc. Felt so much better during and after doing that.
I still get depressed about other stuff (various things, not gonna go into it except to say that it's in the same vein as many of the other comments on here by MacTBone and others) once in a while, but really it's not that bad anymore, not that bad at all. I still get plenty of exercise, not only martial arts but also tennis, which helps a great deal in all aspects of life (attitude, health, physical fitness, looks, etc.).
And let's not forget the curative effects of alcohol 
Although in all seriousness I really DO NOT recommend getting drunk or even drinking that much alcohol while depressed, it makes matters worse. Trust me.

Hmmm. Well, if they're able to exercise then they're really not that depressed. Disability denied. Next case!
(It might help some, and it probably won't hurt unless their suicide fantasy is to throw themselves in front of a car.)
