I'm so sad right now. What do you do to pick yourself up when you're down?

Answer 1

Meet Friends. Call them on the phone. Hang Out with them. Watch Sports or come on the net and visit a community forum or chat.

Socialising is the best way for me to pick myself up when I am feeling low.

Answer 2

I think this is exactly the kind of question that religion was created to answer - though I think there are many flaws in organized religion, I think having a strong faith can be very helpful.

I personally subscribe to a faith based upon personal power and faith in the Universal energy that created us all - and the certainty that it is not all just a waste of time and energy. With that in mind, I try to use Yoga, visualization and affirmations, as well as the best oracle I have found to date - Ralph Blum's Runes. You can learn more about them at Amazon.com or Insight-books:

I also get some support from on-line Angel Cards:

When all is said and done, it is the personal relationships with your friends & family, your god and yourself that get you through the tough times. It can be very hard, but you can take heart in knowing that the time of travail will end - one can not live permanently amid obstructions - and the new is always greater than the old. So whatever it is that you are going through, take heart and know that it will all work out for the best in the end. I mean really know it - that will help the trouble end sooner.

PS - I nearly forgot one other tool I use to get me through - Louise Hay's book, You Can Heal Your Life. http://www.hayhouse.com/details.php?id=267

Answer 3

Well what ever you want to think of your self it is projected from within,
Well life is something which we should be enjoying rather than sitting in a corner and feeling scared and sad, what are you sad about and what are you scared of...we have only one life, and one or the another day we have to die, so what are we scared about, what worse can happen than death,
if sun becomes scare of losing all its hydrogen and stops shinning Bright then imagine what will happen to the world, it will come to stand still, you are a SUN at your own place. so do not be scared and sad, just think you are born today and it is a new life, count your blessings not your sorrows, count your laughs and not your tears, if you do this you will find life has given you more than it has taken from you...
if you are reading this message you are lucky than more than half of the worlds population because rest can not read, you are using computer then you are lucky than 45% people of world who do not even have a single meal to eat...
Just tell your mind you are better than those who are around yourself...
and when you compare yourself with someone compare yourself with someone who is below you not who is on top of you....
Just chill and enjoy .....
Life has more than just sitting in a corner scared and sad........

Answer 4

I spend time with my dog, there is no way I can feel sad around him. If you don't have a dog, do something really nice for yourself, the works: a bubble bath, face mask, etc. I hate to offer this suggestion, but shopping helps- but only temporarily.

Whatever it is you choose to do to feel better, please remember that things are always in a state of change and will not stay this way forever!!

And don't do stupid stuff like get drunk! It will amplify your sadness and you'll have a hangover in the morning on top of everything else.

Hope you work through it :)

Answer 5

Listen to music that I love...

Think about the positives in my life...

Ask myself why I am down, and do I have to be?(psst..answer should be no)

Stop feeling sorry for myself.

Please do not ever resort to drugs. I was depressed for years and did drugs and it only made my life worse.

Get outside more. A little sun is good for your well-being. Go for a walk, talk to your friends. If you don't have any, that's okay, you can always make some.

Do things to get your mind off being sad..like not concentrating on it..Keep your mind(and body) active with positive things.

Answer 6

I suffer from deppresion a lot, and the way to cure that is dark chocolate.
But if you are just sad, then try focasing on the positive things you have, even if you have to go the extreme.

Deppresion is sad all the time for no reason, sad is momentary reaction to a situation (death of family, pet ran away...etc.)

Answer 7

Candy, food, shopping, Starbucks, gossiping, playing a sport or chill with friends. Try to get over whatever is making you sad! Be happy think of all the hobos that are less fortunate.

Good luck! : )

Answer 8

I'm always sad...
but I like to listen to either crazy dance happy music or depressing music because like daniel powter's "bad day" song says:
"You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around"
or i just go to sleep.
i know this sounds stupid but sleeping makes me feel better because its like when you're asleep you're numb. You don't think or feel and you can escape from the world for a while.
Hope you get happy soon!

Answer 9

Meditate

Answer 10

One thing that always helpes me when things get me down, is to talk to someone that I'm close with, you know, VENT!! And also, getting out of the room sort of thing; take a walk or go and see a funny movie!!
Take care, and hope this helped!
