What do you do when you're not feeling so great?

Question

When your tired of life and everything that comes with it....

Answer 1

Since I feel that way a lot I may not be the best person to answer that question. What I do is pray for something I can know is real and that I can know can not foul up some great eternal plan in someone elses life. In my case that is pray for the health of my little 18-20 year old dog. She is actually getting better daily and seems happy much of the time. I really am not thankful for anything else in life but that positive answer to my prayer lets me know that eYshua loves me.

Answer 2

Talk to a friend. Go somewhere with someone. If all else fails and I am feeling as depressed as you sound, I would talk to my priest, or a priest that I felt comfortable with. If it were the middle of the night and I could not just go to sleep, I would pray and read something that was comforting. Everything looks worse at night, 'help comes in the morning'. And it is true. Peace be with you.

Answer 3

- Spoil yourself a little (buy something on itunes)

- Talk to an old friend you've gotten out of touch with

- Take a walk for at least 30 minutes, every day, for a week

- If you're still not better, it might be clinical depression, which is a real chemical imbalance in your brain. Talk to your normal family doctor sooner rather than later.

Feel well soon!

Answer 4

I try to remember Who I am and where I came from. I tell myself how fortunate I am that my home hasn't been bombed and that no one has abducted my child. I don't have a son or daughter fighting a hopeless war in Iraq and I have enough to eat and a doctor to talk to when I am sick. I have been treated for cancer and I'm still here. I have two cats to cuddle and a book to read. If we can be thankful for what we have got and take pleasure in the little things we will get through the darkest of days.

Answer 5

I never tire of life.

I never tire of hearing the birds sing or listening to music. I never tire of reading books by my favorite thinkers. I never tire of watching the forensic shows on TV and how the tiniest thing can cause justice to prevail. I never tire of being able to pet my dog and cats with hands that are able. I never tire of being able to taste great food. I never tire of having a healthy body that I can take for a walk, or golfing. I never tire of listening to a thunderstorm or the wind blowing through the trees in my back yard. I never tire of my ability to see with my eyes the stars in the sky at night. I love having the ability to see, hear, taste, touch and smell; for I know there are some who have been robbed of some of these. (I lost my sight and regained it through transplants.) My hearing is slowly failing which causes me to appreciate the many years that I could hear well and the wonderful sounds that I am still able to hear. I never tire of a good chess game or any good brain teasing puzzle. I never tire of being kind to people who don't expect it. I never tire of trying to encourage people when they are down. I never tire of trying new things.

There is so much to love in this world I can't imagine tiring of anything. In fact, I have so many favorite things to do the only problem I have is finding the time to fit them all into one lifetime! I am never bored.

When you say you're "tired of life and everything that comes with it.", try this:

On a piece of paper, write "I'm glad that..." and make a list of everything that you are glad about. I think you will be surprised at the number of things you come up with. Here...let me start it for you:

I am glad that...

1. I can see a rainbow.
2. I can hear a song.
3. I can touch a friend.
4. I can read.
5. I have my health.
.....and so on.

I personally thank God for everything on my list...but that's just me.


Good luck and I truly hope you fel better soon. I will remember you in my prayers.

Answer 6

We choose to feel NOT great, we can can choose to be lively, be strong minded, basically keep ur mind occupied, think postive, be glad ur here, got health, food on the table, shelter over ur head as many people dont have these luxaries, help the poor, give charity, keep urself occupied, have a nap, excercise, u got no need to be feel down & tired, well tired maybe cuz we all are human, DONT take drugs, or drinkt too much cuz dat can also put u down, so as i said be postive, be happy ur better off even to use the net to post a Question like this, its all in ur head, trust me. PEACE".

Answer 7

go for a walk in the beautiful outdoors, even if it's raining, with my favorite music playing in my ears. i walk until i am exhausted, come home and get cleaned up. then i sit down and have big bowl of ice cream or some homemade macaroni & cheese....

and then pass out from the carb overload.

then i wake up the next morning and have an intense quiet time with God. darned if He doesn't start working the minute we stop chatting!

Answer 8

I usually get in my room and turn on some worship music and lay back and close my eyes and just try to think about my blessings....soon I feel Im able to sing and worship then I feel better....not always but most of the time it works for me...

Answer 9

I generally wallow for a while-- avoid people, sleep alot, eat a lot of junk, etc. Usually that gets me out of it in a few days. If not, I start feeling disgusting and even more depressed. Which is no fun.

Answer 10

beer works for me. if you cant do that, a joint works also. if you cant do that, listening to some music that reminds you of an old friend, or a good period of your life will work. if you cant do that, go pick a fight with someone bigger than you. youll get your butt kicked, but life will go up from there.
