when you're depressed what makes you feel better:

[LivingOn]

Aromatherapy, a warm bath or shower, a walk, music, and other pleasant distractions.

 

[Pein]

for me - listen to jpop, and video game music(yes, im nerdy that way). playing video games, eating(of course)...and masturbating.

 

[Pein]

i mixed up stress with depress or they both the same thing? when im depress i just smoke a cig, and eat then go to bed

 

[Sparky55313]

I have one email friend whom I've never met. I write daily journals to her and vent. Most recently just hanging out here in SF has done me wonders!

 

[AmericanNight]

Nothing, since I am depressed 24/7 there is nothing that can cheer me up or make me feel better other than taking a sedative so i fall asleep and let darkness be my comforter.

 

[Britt]

Trying to sew is helpful. Decorating is even more fun. I love to bake.

 

[nok1888]

Nothing, I just have to stay in bed and ride it out. Well its not that i have to stay in bed its more i cant get out of bed

 

[TBear]

Doing something wild or crazy - Things I have done in the past...

Cutting my hair - 4 inches off,

Taking a trip at the last minute with all 7 kids,

Or of course "retail" therapy (but then I get depressed 'cause I spent too much, or guilty for spending on me)

Sex would be a good way out - if I am in the mood - but I am no longer married.... so I have to just think about it... which is depressing...

Doing cartwheels on the trampoline (at my age that is crazy )

 

[Sidewalk Slam]

-Petting/snuggling/being near my cats (get your mind out of the gutter!)
-Coming on here has actually been calming me down a lot.
-A bike ride. The problem is getting myself to get out of the house first and actually get going. So it doesn't happen much.
-Painting
-Reading (haven't been able to get into reading much for the last couple years though for some reason)
-Shopping. As ridiculous as it sounds.. and I'm probably one of the least girly girls you could ever meet.
-Cooking (see above)

 

[KittyGirl]

-My kitty
-Running for miles, until my chest feels like it's about to burst and I can't cry anymore
-Watching silly videos on youtube

these sometimes make me laugh a bit... :Leiaha: :bubble: :smug:

 

[TWF]

My thoughts. Everything else makes it worse.

 

[Archon]

Looking at how messed up the world is and laughing at the stupidity of the majority of humans.

Watching Neon Genises Evangelion.

 

[TomT]

Lots of things that made me feel better don't work anymore but these still do:

- Watching dvd's, specially tv series like DS9
- Playing with my kitten
- Reading a good book
- Sleeping, more sleep the better

 

[Tobes]

Realising that my problems are made worse in my head than they are in reality.

 

[plates]

sleeping.i hate fucking sleeping here tho. i've been f'ing wandering again.

 

[Gothic Vampiress]

Listening to music
Writing about what happened
Eat :p
Read Anne Rice books to get my mind off of it.
Or, if I am feeling like shit, then sometimes I'd put on a funny movie and then when the movie ends, I'd feel a bit better.

 

[xToxThexGravex]

Well, what used to help me was get drunk and drop acid.

However, I do have some healthier alternatives to deal with my depression:

Read some of my favorite books
Watch my favorite movies/TV shows
Play video games
Crank out some metal music
Sprinting outside.
Write some poetry
Compose some music
Play my guitar for a while

 

[Things]

I draw joke comics about my depression, or about random crap.

For example, I draw this crappy robot that says "I'm wasting paper!" in three pages, over and over. :B

 

[41021]

i know what would make me feel better
and then i would feel better forever.

 

[Kaos General]

eating cheese :Jehuty::Jehuty::Jehuty:
