when you're depressed what makes you feel better:

going out in the sun for a while.

Just wanna share this...

Yoga is an excellent exercise for Stress Relief. Sharing your problems with your loved ones can also help you get rid of stress. Aggressiveness and headaches are some of the physical symptoms of anxiety and stress. You can join weekend seminars on stress and tension management too. Red wine, if taken in moderate amount, provides quick 'stress relief'.

Hope this may help...

I'm new here but what I do to make myself feel better is to read books, mainly comic books for me, but I always look forward to the ending that Peter Parker chooses for himself and how he gets through tough spots.

Hello everyone,

I don't really have any long term fixes, but my short terms would be

Writing
Taking walks
Playing video games
Reading
Sitting with my kitty and listening to her purr
Playing games with my friends
Shopping (depending on how much money I have at my disposal)

One thing I really miss that helped a TON a few years ago is when my closest friend and I would bake a cake and just eat the whole thing by ourselves while watching some kind of kids movie.

Now that I think about it, doing anything silly from my childhood often helps as well

I've loved reading all your responses!

For a long time finding something that makes me feel better is what has made me hold on for the past few years. I've tried as suggested to see positives in life. Problem now is I've ran out of options. No, I'm not an addict of any kind, and I haven't used illegal drugs for that feeling. It's simply the fact I can no longer find any reason to keep going on and dealing with the constant emotional pain I feel. I've been through counseling and anti-depressants, but it hasn't worked.

[depleted_soul]

I don't have anything that makes me feel better and that's what makes it so hard and nearly unbearable for me.

 

[Paranoy]

This sounds stupid but I imagine having a conversation with an imaginary woman about my problems.

 

[reefer madness]

Drugs, sleeping and SF make me feel better.

Hey, whatever works right? =)

My wonderful friends and reading.

Chocolate, wine, flowers, a bubble bath, a call to my therapist if I'm really bad off, and especially a smile or hug from one or more of my kids....

 

[QuadLazer]

Hmmmmmm sex. Lots of sex. And alcohol. Alcohol rocks. Well, as long as it's just once in a while. Or if I'm just upset temporarily anything ultraviolent helps, whether it be really heavy music, a bloody movie/game, etc.

 

[Epical Taylz]

it's kinda weird:
when i'm with people and start crying and knowing that my face is black from mascara makes me laugh and get in a good mood.

also when my boyfriend makes fun of his brother, i don't know why it always puts me in a good mood.

but if i'm alone taking a bubble bath and crying really helps, it actually makes me feel better. also Nick@Nite cheers me up emensly.

 

[CaptainOfTheTunaPirates]

I don't really have anything but sleep and work. And I might run out of work soon and sleeping is becoming increasingly more difficult. Ah, life is so much fun!
