Things That Make You Feel Better

[ImCoolBeans]

What are some things that help pick you back up when you're in one of "those" moods? A lot of people find things like reading, writing, music, art, tea and deep breathing to be very relaxing and use them to calm themselves down.

I know that whenever I'm feeling down I usually listen to music -- it helps ease my mind. What do you do?

[Harley Quinn]

A good plate of food and a full stomach. I get myself in a better mood by eating, like not obsessively but I really like food. I drink some coffee too, helps with the nerves, strangely. Going for a walk though, will forever be the one thing that can get me out of that mood. Especially in the rain listening to calm acoustic music. I like being outdoors when I feel really low, I'm not a nature freak but the sound of rain or the smell of the woods just brings my soul to a nice peaceful place.

[Breakeven]

i like to go out even if its just for a walk the fresh air always helps , listen to music :yeah: , talk to a friend , take a long bath , watch a movie :3

[Harry Smith]

Watching Friends, literally it's my comfort blanket. I've seen every episode about 50 times but I still love it to pieces

[Obsidian]

I listen to music, read a good book, or watch a TV show I like and forget about my life for awhile :P

[handle with care]

i walk or use my boxing bag

I listen to music when I'm upset, but usually its sad songs, which somehow helps. I come on VT a lot, and giving advice helps too. Then I have my twitter and my youtube, and I'm good :D

[Hypers]

When I feel bad I lock myself in my room and listen to music and try to block everything out and focus on myself and then start dreaming about a nice future and that usually makes me feel better.

[Paladino]

I have once and once only tried to resort to drinking to feel better and it actually worked lol, I have only done it ONCE though, don't want to go down that path, a guy I know died from it and my uncle is on the verge of dying from it. Usually I listen to music, heard somewhere that sad songs creates positive emotions not sure if 100% true but I can relate in some aspects. Talking to a friend on the phone or face to face usually helps also.

[JamesSuperBoy]

I do the deep breathing and I have a lucky charm -

sometimes it is so difficult -

[Kasp]

Listening to good music

[Abyssal Echo]

Listen to music, go for a walk or go play with my dogs. since I'm usually stuck at the house (my post count proves that) going for Chinese food or a pizza helps.

[Tze-]

Look through my olds toys or pictures or anything from where I used to live.. It's extremely calming

[roadwarrior]

Listening to nice music and watching entertaining shows makes me feel better...

[justin 13]

listen to music and dance or more like jump lol with my bro.

Ding Ding Ding! exactly!.

[DerBear]

I play video games, escaping the world of reality for awhile is great :D

[Mynick]

I usually drink a good cuppa and listen to music. Or i play Dark Souls, it's so relaxing to me.

[Cygnus]

I'd say playing Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, I feel immortal in that game and I love it so much.

[Luminous]

Cats are the best antidepressants, 'cept one of them is still missing, so that's pretty depressing, so, watching the Shaytards vlogs. I'm currently trying to watch all 1600 of them or however many, I'm on 400 something.

[sqishy]

The Buttery Biscuit Base Song: Masterchef Synaesthesia

2 minutes (and one second) of fun trivial music.

[BookSmart]

When I'm feeling down, singing is usually what cheers me up. If I sing a sad song or maybe a more angry sounding song, it really helps me get those negative feelings out of my system. Afterward I might sing a more up beat song to cheer up. If that's not enough watching my favorite anime or writing can help lift my mood. :)

[ksdnfkfr]

Playing around on this site the last couple of days has made me feel better to tell the truth.

[Slippers]

It's got to be beer, chocolate and curry. All in one night preferably!

[Versae]

I bite myself and listen to good music.

[Joe Cool]

I play music on the piano or sing, and that always does the trick.

[Allain1996]

This is gonna sound weird, but mowing grass makes me feel good and calm. Lol

[Synyster Shadows]

listening to or writing music is my way to feel better

[Zsofia]

A good walk and an McFreeze always helps :)

[Ben4ever]

A cigarette, good music, and a pill on my tongue usually does the trick. I am in no way promoting this though. Well, I definitely promote music.

[Dannibabi]

Sometimes I just lay in my bed with the lights off and wrap myself up tightly with blankets and sometimes listen to some music while its dark. Ya I know I'm weird.

[Saint of Sinners]

Caffeine, or a nap usually cheers me up. So does watching comedy.

[Discover]

if im down im gonna listen to music :D

[Stronk Serb]

Cuddling with my cat always helps :3

[1_21Guns]

music, junk food, pets, people I like, tea, naps :P

[Castle of Glass]

music, tea, video games.

[ImCoolBeans]

Cuddling with my cat always helps :3

Cuddling and pets, two of the best things in the world. Put them together and there isn't much that is better :P

[sqishy]

This makes me feel better, like getting a chance to see a big picture for a few minutes:

[Blood_Thorn]

Cycling and watching the stars.

[ksdnfkfr]

Pizza, Mtn Dew and music.

[Croconaw]

Food.

[ImCoolBeans]

Deep, cleansing breaths.

[Emerald Dream]

Cuddles.

All of the cuddles. :) :hug:

[CuteFunSmartGirl]

Big bear hugs from someone i love, especially from my big brother Logan

[CosmicNoodle]

Two things, Music if i am in a mood
And running if i am in a very bad or low mood, hard to be angry when tired.

[HahaWaitWhat]

Music sometimes. Most times, I look at pictures of my girl on my iPod. It's oddly calming.

[thatcountrykid]

I might sound like a phsyco but i like to grab my guns and take them apart to clean the an oil them and put them back together. They're comforting because of all the parts that fit and work together perfectly.

[ksdnfkfr]

Soda pop

[Dark Unicorn]

Nothing.I'm past the point of feeling genuinely happy.Maybe...stirrings,light stirrings of avoiding thinking and emotion.

[YellowBlur]

When I'm feeling sad or angry I usually eat something, listen to music or sleep. Talking to other people cheers me up and those are usually the times when that's not an option

[Akasuki]

positive things? jogging, cuddling (sometimes), playing with my animal companions, talking to someone about my problems if I feel up to it, going out, exercising in general... that's about it.

[boop95]

Food and my boyfriend.

[whynoi]

light up a j :D

[Elysium]

Having someone to talk to in the early morning hours (12 - 5 or 6 AM), no matter what day of the week.

[Seemyheart]

My friends and my music

[Fanta_Lover44]

When im in one of those moods, the best way for me to cheer up is to play party music loud with my base and to be playing my favourite driving game.

[Luminous]

cats

[photojared]

Music, food, sleeping, being lost in daydreams, talking to my boyfriend, and running the trails

[Discover]

Listening to Music :)

[Sandra Main]

Big bear hugs, and cuddles from my little brothers.

[Caver]

Food, company, something to look forward too (i.e, traveling, seeing family, events)

[Cognizant]

This can sound relatable to some people, and just plain dumb to others, but I go out and railfan. I'll go get my camera, walk to the station, and take pictures of the passing trains and buses, and other points of interests in between. I just love photography because it's a way of de-stressing my mind.

Of course, if I can't go out (case in hand it's 12:30AM and i'm in bed), I just put on some music that has meaning to me until I'm either calm or I just cry myself to sleep. As long as i'm alone, I think crying is a great tension reliever and makes me feel better afterwards.

[Barneytinsen]

porn

[ksdnfkfr]

Anytime I can in anyway maybe
help someone out a little here.

[Keats]

Working out, and training MMA - my life is revolving around this and my girlfriend currently
No matter how down i am, while i'm training and for about an hour afterwards i'm on top of the world.

[PinkFloyd]

Doing something upbeat and fast is great.

[sqishy]

Music, internet.

[ImCoolBeans]

My friends coming back from school for winter break

[Captain Canada]

Listening to music definitely helps, I play my guitar as well if Im feeling stressed or depressed. Talking to my friends helps because they help. ^–^

[The Trendy Wolf]

I simply need a quiet place to stop and think. Somewhere that I can go to relax and perhaps I may even color in a picture of some sort. It is just a soothing feeling to slide the colored pencil along the inside edge of the line and creating a full and richly colored picture that I can focus on evening out the small imperfections in the colors. My heart rate just slows down significantly and I don't have to worry about the outside world for a while, just coloring inside the lines for a bit.

[The Trendy Wolf]

Anytime I can in anyway maybe

I love assisting people who need a little help. It just tells me that I'm doing something right. It can make a big difference in someone's life no matter how little and insignificant the support may seem. :D

[Abyssal Echo]

helping people, talking to friends, listening to music

[Loreley]

Music, persons I love, and chocolate.
