what do you do when you feel like dirt? For me I eat, I don't worry about getting overweight because I have an overactive metabolism. I also listen to music, go to the beach, walk, cry(a little), and just being alone in general
-
nothing really. I havent felt down in years... i sometimes feel stressed and upset but it rarely lasts more than an hour, if that.
I used to be super depressed until i tried to kill myself a few times and realised i was being stupid. So I just thought, "sack it, I'll just do whatever, and take things as they come." It's certainly helped me tremendously, though i do think I'm becoming more detached from my emotions than normal people...
-
well it's not easy for me, my mental stability isn't all that good, I can be moody and somethings just plain mean. I have angry problems so I just tend to stay isolated from people
-
it's rarely ever easy. It's all about state of mind, and i'm extremely grateful to be how i am right now, even if i end up failing the expectations of everyone... I'll always be generally happy... hopefully... though i'm pretty sure this happy streak will not last forever. It cant.
-
First of all, i wait until it's dark outside, then i put on my favourite hoodie and then i go for a walk. while I'm walking I Force myself to be happy (it works!).
I also hang around with friends as they make me feel that everything is alright ^_^
I never talk to anybody about my problems as i don't think anyone would care if i was Depressed or not.
Plus i feel a responsibility to take care of my own problems myself.
-
might sound odd, but one thing that I found helps is howling, after a few drinks down the park, I thought "why not?" and it gives you this buzz, try it and see what I mean. Best you're not around people though at the time, they might think you're crazy/going to eat them.
-Also, working out, I love putting on some Iron Maiden, Ensiferum or whatever and just doing a cross country run, never fails to cheer me up.
-Going out to the woods too, I've always had this love of nature since a kid, I could spend so much time in the forest, you wouldn't believe.
-Concerts, going to see a band with friends, jumping in the pit, I love it!
-
Take out my mental stress on something physically. Pillows, punchbags, anything you know you can punch with as much force as possible but will keep intact.
Crying works too.
The comfort of friends always works (internet or otherwise, I never really had many friends outside of the internet so internet friends help me feel better).

Meh, what I usually do. Tho I breakdown easily when I'm really down and can cry for half an hour or more <.<; (Bipolar problems.. seriouz buziness...)
Sad? I generally listen to music, and I found out that sad musics make me feel a bit better o.O usually, I avoid people
Angry? Kick pillow butt (lawl), or just listen to some harder rock music. It calms me down a bit XD Oh yea, also avoid people
Extremely happy (so much that you annoy everyone you talk to)? Take a few pills, a warm (hot, your choice lawl) cup of milk and go to bed xD
Yeah, I am a very strange fox when it comes to emotions... And musics have a big effect on me :P

Not sure if I'm bipolar (I don't even know what it is :p), but I do have massive emotional breakdowns from time to time. People say it's puberty. I don't know.

I can understand that, because it makes you think "I shouldn't be so down, it's not just me going through this and people are feeling worse out there".

errr.... i hike.... thats kinda it to be honest.... i hike and i hike until i really just collapse back home and feel a ton better for it.... that and either hang out with friends at the park, all of which know im a fur, so i can express myself fully... and get petted.... or i listen to some very fast trance.... but its mostly hike... i find once ive been outside for a good few hours i cheer up no end.....
-
Any kind of exercise can often make you feel better.
-
Um...when I'm angry, I want to fight...right there and almost right at that moment, But video games help keep the anger at bay
Sad....go on the computer and You-tube until I forget >->
-
When I'm angry, I play my guitar. I find that transfering everything in to intense death metal makes me feel better as well as sound amazing.
Sad? Smoke. D:

Well, that may be different. Bipolar is when you have sudden mood changes, but a bit different. You can go from neutral to super depressed or hyper happy in a few minutes. And those states can last days or weeks. More detail:
Bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression, manic depressive disorder or bipolar affective disorder, is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a category of mood disorders defined by the presence of one or more episodes of abnormally elevated mood clinically referred to as mania or, if milder, hypomania. Individuals who experience manic episodes also commonly experience depressive episodes or symptoms, or mixed episodes in which features of both mania and depression are present at the same time. These episodes are usually separated by periods of "normal" mood, but in some individuals, depression and mania may rapidly alternate, known as rapid cycling. Extreme manic episodes can sometimes lead to psychotic symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations. The disorder has been subdivided into bipolar I, bipolar II, cyclothymia, and other types, based on the nature and severity of mood episodes experienced; the range is often described as the bipolar spectrum.

Go for a run. After a few minutes in a good run or jog you'll probably find yourself thinking more pleasant thoughts. Plus it just feels good to move around when you're depressed. To me anyway. ;)
-
Work out at the gym, Listen to music, soul-search, talk to people, heck, even cry if I need to.
:'D
-
Listin to music.
-
play music, listen to music, properly rage/vent at someone but mainly sleep a lot
-
i would call my mate and we would talk together, and she always know exactly what to say.
-
I would go on in my room and mediate to the sound of japanese Zen.
-
Well, it depends on why im feeling also i dont feel down so often...
But if i do i would probably call a freind and see if someone has time to talk, or sit by the computer or if i dont feel for doing pretty much anything i would just lay down somewhere and just be by myself and relax, sometimes lay down next to my dog too...
One time i has nothing to do at all, so i actually fell asleep on a mat in the hall, it wasn't i slept there for maybe an hour or two XD
-
Well, personally, I'm secretly a phoenix, so when I'm down I commit hari-kari to restore my honor and then reincarnate into my own form. It's kinda like a quick-save in a video game.
But seriously, I love to watch comical videos. I tend to get worried alot, so if I'm feeling stressed I watch a video that makes me laugh and that works for me.
-
It depends on what happened to make me feel bad in the first place.
If it's something small, or I'm a bit mad, I play some songs on my bass, play Fallout 3 and kill a load of bad guys, maybe watch some movies and go hang with some friends. I distract myself until whatever happened is at the back of my mind, and it usually ends up in my being cheered up.
But if it's something bad, then I take the problem head on. Crying is a really good way to just let the emotions flow. If I feel really bad (which is rare), I cry myself to sleep and wake up feeling five times better.
-
yeah, I'm kinda angry now because I got banned from a site >:(.
I'm not going to say the name of the site though. I'm probably going to just sleep it off.
-
I quit smoking the other day...Now I'm more upset than I usually am and I have no idea what to do because I smoked when I was upset!
-
I sleep when I'm at home. At school, I just try to ignore what's going on.
-
I sleep too Jesse, or I'll listen to some techno and chat to my mate.
-
i talk to my mate. she always knows how t o make me feel better
