What Do You Guy's Do When Depressed and Not Feeling So Great?

[mapleleaf4ever]

I like to go for a drive when I'm angry. Just go for a rip down the number one, no music other than the growl of the exhaust and the wind whistling through my not so good weatherstripping. :)

[No trace]

i stop doing E for awhile.

i sometimes write. just put a pen to paper, and after an hour, 8 pages of writing. then reading what i wrote the next time im depressed, really helps.


or just pack a bowl of hash and get retarded.

You then sit down in your favourite chair and watch some old-school cartoons (transformers, GIJoe, Gargoyles, etc) and stuff yourself like a fool!

That's how I've spent many Tuesday afternoons......

what do you do if you DON"T HAVE A CHAIR!!!! MWAHAHAHAHA
IF YOU ARE FURNITURELESS!!!!???

[mystique]

I go to the gym.....no matter how bad im feeling beforehand.....when i leave i feel ten times better

[Séguin]

Roller blading. Or work on a track.

[~lazee_grrl~]

i drink and i watch family guy then go for an extremely long walk with one of my dogs..
then the next day i talk with friends...

[KandyKid]

i notice that when i feel like shit and i go to the gym, i press more weight then i usually do, which gives you a good feeling. also, since i go to canada games, there is a tob-tub too :) another thing that helps is spending time with friends, which i usually do at the gym anyways.

if you dont work out, alcohol is your friend, everytime i drink hard, i go on a little adventure, fun times :)

Dealing with it. Solving the probelms that depressed me in the first place and accepting things that are out of my control.
Dubes, Dancing, Munching, Music, Shopping, Getting my hair/nails done, and Watching the simpsons or family guy will make me feel a lil better too.
And spending time with my gurleez! they have this crazy way of making me smile on even the shitiest of shitty days.

[BenGiovanni]

i draw... run sometimes... clean the house, fnk.... burn cds, re arrange my room, msn...i donno theres always stuff to do
if not take a hot shower...
i usually do some strenious activity to tire me out to the point were i sleep off my depression

[Sariel]

I do one of 2 things. I throw on the beats and just start to dance... work all of my frustration and negative emotions out through the music and movement. It works wonders for me.

Or, like several other people on the board, I channel all the negative emotional crap into being creative. I sit down and start to write. I tend to write some of my best poems & plays in that state.

[Partizan]

def. dont do drugs or drink that will fuck you up even more

do something that will make you feel better.. like working out or talking to people .. talking to someone that is close to you and someone who understands and comforts you always helps

shit i can get thru this :

grandma had a stroke and pratically went blind .. dying
uncle diagnosed with lukemia .. hes gonna die soon
my dad and mom have extremely stressfull jobs .. creates a nightmare environment at home

just get away from it .. do something you enjoy and let it take you away

[fadedsignal]

take zoloft, or any other antidepressants :363:

[KenJi]

I do many things go for a walk. Maybe read. Combine them and go outside and read under a tree.

maybe sports *play some hockey?*

[Veni*C]

sit on my couch and loath... eat cookies, chips and any other junk food i can get my hands on .. and watch simpsons.

I write. Some of my best work comes from a low mood.
Usually, its me listening to coldpay or something whine-ful, and writing in my journal. Or writing a poem.

But i have been so sad and depressed that it made me want to do notihng. Spending time under my blankets was the best pastime in that situation.

Moods are fuel for creativity though. They take my words to great places.

one word .. WooOOOoooosssssssaaaaaaaaaa

[MistressSpankME]

-Write; alot of my best, most emotional creations come when I am feeling upset, passionate or angry. The poetry I wrote in school during my battle with Depression got me sent to the counsellors office numerous times, I'll admit they could often come off as disturbing; but I undoubtedly put them among the poems I am most proud of.
-Sketch/Paint ( design, etc ideas and sketches. Drawing purdy ladies)
-Sing; unless its to a sad song, singing always makes me settle down and forget about whats wrong for a while.
-dance/ work out. Booty shakin is great and I always feel great after a good work out (yes that includes the horizontal mambo, even if it is solo!)
-treat myself to yummy food (most likely sushi or chocolate)

And of course talking to someone who cares is great, I've always been kind of independant about dealing with shitty moods. Most of the time I'd like to be alone or GETTING CUDDLES (those always help too!), otherswill want to be surrounded by people.

And of course...last but not least.... smoking a fatty never hurts.

You are SOO going to be the photographer of my Famous clothing label

[Partizan]

take some vitamin B and go tanning

makes you happier

[PHOTONIC]

I usually write... being depressed always turns out my best pieces...

seems to be a common thing to write... someone should make a depressed poetry thread for everyone to post their stuff... anyone wanna do that? i'm kinda lazy tonight... plus if i made the thread.. i'd have to post first poem.. and i hate going first

[Partizan]

im not much for poetry... the best stuff that came out of my mind was when i was in love

when im depressed i either feel like smashing things or curling up in a corner helplessly
