What do you.....

[Lil Jenna]

What do you do to keep your mind off of things that make you feel sad/depressed? Like when something bad happens what do you do to keep yourself busy?

I feelsad and need a new hobby or something. Any suggestions?

[vesperstina]

i tell myself not to be so damn insecure and think of all the positive aspects of the situation. or i look for answers that will go against all the negetive insecurities.

stna.

Good advice

But I need to do activites or something... Any one got any good ones.

[vesperstina]

oh yeah. i also eat really good food and be around people who i love and love me and talk about my problems. it really does make me feel better, but it doesn't always solve the problem that caused the depression/sadness.

[MC Hammered]

I go shopping, go visit my nephew, keep busy so I don't have time to think about it and try to sleep ASAP before the issue gets a chance to creep into my brain.

Do something that makes you happy, be around people that makes you happy.

Listen to music.

Go buy someone living on the street a McHappy meal.

[vesperstina]

ok activities! i'm the activity queen, but i never have the time to complete all of them.

lynn valley, cap suspension bridge, 2nd beach, wreck beach>etc, pne/playland, paintballing, gallery scoping/hopping, eating out at different restaurants, visiting good friends, renting movies (boo escapism), not watching tv, not going on comp. constantly, bike riding, hiking, swimming outdoors, playdium, rollerskating/rollerblading, sk8boarding, camping, dancing/clubbing, dance classes, symphonies, plays (take advantage of student rates!), park playing, late night adventures, science world, cn imax, joining a club, start playing a sport, focus on another part of your life besides that which is bothering you...

for sure but be care full what you listen to. most people associate music with past events and memories. All music has a way of playing with emotions both good and bad. so go buy a new cd!

^^
or dig up tunes from the past that you know will help.
(eg. look at my sig.)

shopping, think of september, and drop in dance classes and i bust it out like a mutha fucka :hehe:

i love drawing and painting and all..but when im upset i can't do shit like that cuz while im doing it i zone out about shitty stuff and it makes my mind THINK..and i hate doing that....so pretty much my advice...keep ureself busy with things that side tracks ya..soemthing different that can keep ure mind off sad/depressed stuff.

[Lil Jenna]

[junglequeen]

chocolate - working out - writing in a journal

[Prissypants]

Play disc golf...It is totally fun if you're with the right people...

[Partizan]

when i feel sad or down i usually listen to music alot.. lay in my bed and just stare at nothing.. or jack off a whole lot.. hey it works..

[yourlilbaby]

lol jen, i read personally there is this amazing book callef 2150 it makes u take a whole new look at the world, maybe itll help

[*twiddlebug*]

my fav thing to do when im feeling down is to go be with my horse, he just loves me being around him and always makes me feel better, or any pet for that matter, also listning to music and think about what u do have going for you

[zarlon]

haha, i cut myself!

err. sorry. i dunno i try to think positive, get some excercise, you know. get all that energy out somehow because if you just sit there and feel sad it'll really manifest..
