Do you have a special place you like to go when you feel down or depressed?

Question

When I get spurts of depression, I like to go sit on the ground by a stream or lake. It calms me down.

Answer 1

I'm the same way, I like to go down by the river or lake, tell the fish and the birds my problems, At least I know they won't be gossiping bout me, except to other birds and fish.

Answer 2

Any place but where I'm at. A change in the scenery genrally helps. I like by the lake and just watch the water waves eves in and out. I find very calming.

Answer 3

When I am sad or depressed, I get some goofy music, I mean like. some 80's or just some old funny 70's music. I dress up and dance around like a psycho person, and this should make you laugh. It makes me feel embarrassed, but who cares! no one is looking. and it's good excerise! So go for it! have fun.
If that doesn't work, then I go for a run. If you haven't tried just going out and running or walking. it's an amazing feeling, you feel so much better about everything once you go out for a GOOD run.

Answer 4

India is my escape place. When I am stressed and feeling overwhelmed by the troubles of the world I close my eyes and imagine I am sitting on a riverbank in India. The hot sun is warming my body and leaving me with a delicate glow. My pink and orange sari blows gently in the wind. An elephant drinks in the water next to me, and I am at peace.

Answer 5

In Canada and I'm sure in the U.S. there are hot lines in which you can call to talk to someone. If you don't know why you are depressed perhaps to could seek the help of a Physician. I feel bad for you as I have had tremendous bouts of depression over the years. Try not to isolate yourself and talk to friends if possible. Hope everything improved shortly!!! Di

Answer 6

i used to go an sit on our flat roof at night with earphones in a listening to some slow music, staring up at the stars.
The best place to go is that place that makes you forget about the hardships on life and look at the beauty of nature.
My ideal place would be on the beach during sunset or sunrise.
The dim light of the sun and the splashing of calm serene waves just seems the perfect place to forget your troubles..

now i jus go to my room and listen to some muzik..but my rooms often a mess so im in the process of finding a special place for me to relax and reflect...im always searching...here and there and weighing up the areas for their potential weight in stress relief!

Answer 7

For me, I go to the beach alone with my favorite beverage that can soothe my comfort. Sometimes from Starbucks - Green tea latte or fruit Smoothie, or else. it may not work for anyone as i usually do when i get DOWN or DEPRESSED!

Answer 8

sitting on a bench on ocean avenue, overlooking sm beach, watching the constant ebb and flow of the pacific ocean. The sounds of the pier, and the cars on PCH are in the background.

Answer 9

I usually call my best friend. Even if I don't feel like talking about what is upsetting me, just laughing with her takes my mind off of what I'm feeling. Also, taking a nap works. I feel much calmer when I wake up.

Answer 10

Yes. I mow the yard. Sometimes 3 times a week. It helps to get busy.

Answer 11

When I am down, I like to go to my Granma's house. There are acres and acres of farmland and woods there, so I can really enjoy the serenity. Too bad it's over 3,000 miles away...
