Ok, since I started college the academic pressure REALLY upset me and I was worried by problems with my family and friends.

I gradually became depressed, not because of ONE event. Eventually I discovered that I am constantly worrying and anxious about everything that I can' t function.

Simply sleeping a lot
listening to music I like
taking walks
talking with friends helps A LOT

ALSO I did take some anti-depressant pills
They're called PAXIL. THey make you feel weird first couple days but then weirdness goes away. They really DO make my mood better they increase Serotonin (happiness neurotransmitter) intake in the brain, thus making you happier.

I read that it has no side effects, so I wasn't afraidi to take it.

I think you should talk to your doctor and ask him to prescribe some for you, but I think only if your depression lasts for more than 2 weeks. This drug is given to people who have traumatic experiences and stress.
