As a decent human being and as a current college student, I can tell you that there are indeed a lot of stigmas surrounding being sad, having depression, and just mental health in general. Ignore the stigmas–most of them are just people being extremely insensitive and certain cultures not necessarily even believing in mental health issues as a whole, which is indeed quite alarming.
Personally, as a music therapy student, I listen to calming classical music, like Chopin, for instance. Mozart is also great.
Ultimately, you find what works for you. Be safe and make wise decisions.

Cry

I accept that life is always funny, just not always for me. If I'm not happy, that just means someone else is, and I'm happy for them.

I cry while drinking hot chocolate and eating a mug cake, while watching the anime Himouto! Umaru-chan. Very specific, I know. It's a great anime.

cry, cry some more, explain all my emotions to my dog, then cry with my dog.

If it's something I have power over- I sit with in, silently, laying down thinking until I can articulate exactly what's going on and what I can do to change it to the best of my ability. Sometimes I'll write it down, or I'll put it in a well-sealed letter which I give to the person my grievance is addressed to.

If I can't do anything about it, I read Nietzsche's "Twilight of the idols" (or any philosophy that helps take me out of my head), exercise, listen to music, take a very hot shower or a very cold shower, until I forget about it and move on with my day.

I usually read a book, eat food, and or listen to music. Watching a movie with a fluffy blanket is good too.

most of the time all my muscels get really weak so i lay down and cry, sometimes im sad because i feel fat sometimes its because i feel like i have no purpose in life or i feel like everyones dissapointed in me so i just lay down cry and listen to BTS to make myself feel better. but remember this, if your diagnosed with depression and feel like ending it all like me and feel as if you have no purpose, i dont believe in god but my friends always tell me this "if god woke you up this morning, hes not done with you hes made a purpose for you and you havent fufilled it yet. so just stay alittle bit longer until youve fufilled even when you do please dont leave..." and if you have no one to talk to or explain your feelings to, im always availible to talk and if you want i can give you my snapchat or email so you can talk to someone about how you feel. just remember your not in this alone. it may feel like your on a dark deserted island but just remember your not in this alone, your not hurting alone, you dont have to cry alone. im always here if you need to talk and if you ask i will give you my snap or email right away. dont forget im always here if you need me, dont give up people care and need you here.

Listen to music, usually some metal or rock. Eat ice-cream while watching movies that I love - Harry Potter, LotR, or The Hobbit. Play video games to escape into another world or go to the forest and take a long walk with my dog. Depends on the mood and the level of sadness.

Listen to music, binge-eat, and/or write my feelings down in my diary (cheesy, yes, I know, but it helps.)

Go to one of my Happy Places in my mind. Yes, it's cheesy.
Some of my Happy Places are the Lake Front of my hometown in New Zealand, the University of Miami Baseball Park, and the Everglades.

Cry. Don't you?

Nothing... the're nothing to do. just wait and hope for everything to go fade away or die in a car crash

Sleep listen to music color draw and and recreate memes

Sleep.

Go over the pros and cons of suicide and realize that I have so much to live for

I usually go for a long, long walk. When I feel ready to vent, I find a nice quiet place for a good sob session.
