If you're sad what do you do to cheer yourself up ?

Question

If you're sad what do you do to cheer yourself up ?

Answer 1

lots of things usually It's best to keep your mind busy and not focusing on what's hurting you so I usually

clean

listen to music

take a walk

treat myself to a warm shower or bath

read a good book

but what works the most is spending time with my kids, they keep me so occupied I don't think about it. What really cheers me up are their smiles or just talking to a friend. Venting is the best way to do it. You can write your feelings down or talk to someone about them.

Hugs from the people I love always cheer me up too

hope this helps you in some way.

Answer 2

Answer 6

try and take my mind off of it.

examples:

-get really into music and lyrics and spend lots of time trying to find and down loading new music.  Then I relate the lyrics to my life.

-Go spend as much time with friends as possible and distract myself.  Try not to be along until I am feeling a little better.

-Listen to talk radio while i do something artsy (draw, knit, do my nails really well, sew) This takes your mind hella far away and you are doing something productive.

-If you dont want to escape how you feel, then you should journal

-or talk to someone one about why you are feeling sad like a friend, parent or therapist.

-you can go on bbc.com and read about all the crapy things that are happening all over the world and then you might realise they you are not as badly off as some people

-play with a pet

-get really nicely dressed up and go out somewhere fun

-buy yourself something nice

-work out, that always makes me feel better, getting in shape, doing something productive, and raising your levels of endorphins.

-wake up early, be productive, and get some sunsine

-just spend time on here helping other people with their problems and then that should make you feel a little better.. karma u know?

just do what you like and spend time with people u like.
