get distracted by watching tv and movies

[Legend]

Download a series and watch all of it. Read an escapist book. Download a bunch of cult flicks. Play a good video game. Find things to do with what you have/a hobby.

[zuperxtreme]

Listen to happy music, watch comedy movies/series.

[Tachosomoza]

Drink and get violent

Sadness is usually turned into a form of anger for me. I'll do all of these things in no particular order:

- Speed, not road raging, but just therapeutically cruise on the highway, calculating cut offs and lane changes.
- Go outside on my bike
- See if I can fuck someone.
- Eat
- Text some friends
- Do something else self destructive
- Have a few beers while watching a nerdy tv show, for relaxation's sake.

[1983]

Head to the range and kill shit.

[Proots]

Depends. I like to focus on reading my books - maybe play a video game, go out with friends and have a good time, whatever. Anything to keep my mind busy and occupied. That normally does the trick.

[whocares]

My sadness and happiness is directly correlated with my financial wealth, sometimes more than not.

[Zanick]

Sometimes writing is the best way I can get it out, self reflection in a meditative and relaxed state of mind is very useful too. I'll just sit down and try to express everything on my mind and then look at it from different angles until I start to see a pattern that I feel gets to the root of what is bothering me, and then I can think of a strategy to get past it.

"When I'm sad, I stop being sad and be AWESOME instead. True story!"

But seriously I'm bipolar, and happen to be depressed like 90% of the time in my life. You could even say my normal is other's sad, so I have quite a few tricks to make myself feel better.

Sometimes sadness can create it's own self destructive loops. A very common example is when people develop agoraphobia. It starts by sitting at home to avoid problems and/or dwell on them. They become scared to go out, or don't see a reason to leave a comfortable place. Then, the two reasons you don't go out perpetuate each other and continue on a downward spiral that will only make the problem worse. Make sure you avoid letting this happen!

1. If you feel tense and sad, try to force out some tears. Even if you are crying about nothing, your body and mind still sense that you are crying and let out some feel good chemicals to calm you down.

2. Eat some comfort food, or food that has really intense flavor. If it's not a major problem and you just need to get your mind off of it for a minute, this is a really good technique.

3. As zanick said, writing (or ranting to a friend, preferably to an intelligent one that doesn't mind [sometimes it's an even bigger benefit if they can give constructive criticism.]) Both give you time to analyze the way you feel, and what you can do to improve it. You just need to be sure to not dwell on the sad parts/feelings and actually try to think of improvements. This is why it's sometimes even better to have that friend.

4. Smoke some weed. Honestly. Especially if you're emotions are so strong that they are clouding your ability to think. Weed may make your head cloudy, but it'll relieve the emotional cloudiness that is preventing you from making progress.

5. Perform/improve/work on your hobby. Not only does it take your mind off of the problem, but it also helps you feel better about yourself through accomplishing something. If it's something calming, then it gives you time to think or just relax. If it's something exciting, then it will let you blow off some steam/get a rush.

Obviously there are many more things you can do, but I don't want to type all night/sound super lame/end up ranting about depression.

Listen to music, take drugs, masturbate, drink soda, repeat

[sexually vulnerable CPR dummy]

Have you ever tried smoking pot while you're in the deepest of despair? It doesn't really work, there is just something so off about hitting a bong while crying my eyes out.

Opiates is the way to goooooooooooooooooooooo

[i poop in your cereal]

Work out. Take drugs. Watch a movie. Eat.

When I'm depressed, weed doesn't make me happy, but it makes the sadness much more bearable for an hour or so.

[Shrike]

I eat food and watch a movie or play some vidya.

[Struwwelpeter]

I march right down to the river in my bathrobe, and then I strip down to my women's lingerie. Then I step in to the river and I let the water take me for as long as I please. When I'm floating along and all I can see are vines and trees and flowers and all I can hear is the sound of the wind and the flowing water I begin to stroke my cock and I think to myself... "Yes... I am God..."

[King of the world]

The truest form of prayer is communion with Nature. A nice lonely spot, ontop of a peak or by a riverside in the country on a star-lit evening to ponder the majesty of the world. By finding harmony with Nature comes strength, peace and certainty.

Never underestimate the power of Solitude.


The fresh air in general is good.

[vertigo]

Amphetamine/self destruction binge. If I have got the time then I sleep a lot, normally, it's just the former and manic work/school episodes until I can't go anymore and then I fall asleep at the wheel of my car and crash into something.

This past year it hasn't been depression, it's been total anxiety. Have never felt like I was going to die 24/7 for so many weeks in a row.

When I'm being smart, I try and channel all that shit into exercise - go running, take up rock climbing, get out and get fresh air and exercise, it's hard when you have soo little energy and feel like sleeping for a week but it helps a lot.

[STD]

drink at least a half litre of vodka. but you guys already knew that.

fuck, i do that even when i'm happy
