Talk to someone.  

Answer 3

hey your the same person that keeps telling everyone you eat just before Fajr namaaz, That's pretty much incorrect so please stop saying that to everyone! there's a specific time called Sehri time. People should find an online Ramadan timetable for Sehri and Iftar times.

And do answer your question, i unfortunatly indulge in superficial happiness, like watching Scrubs friends and any kind of comedy. It cheers me up. dunno how. and sometimes i wallow, but then i regret it.  

Answer 4

Read quran and dua'as, and call my friends. wallowing isnt good, just makes you feel worse.

Answer 5

Talk to friends, go out and distract myself...ect

Answer 6

Look into Sufism.

U always find comfort in God.

Check that out

“For instance, if a man ceases to take any concern in worldly matters, conceives a distaste for common pleaures, and appears sunk in depression, the doctor will say, “This is a case of melancholy, and requires such and such prescription. The physicist will say, “This is a dryness of the brain caused by hot weather and cannot be relieved till the air becomes moist.” The astrologer will attribute it to some particular conjunction or opposition of plantes. “Thus far their wisdom reaches,” says the Koran. It does not occur to them that what has really happened is this: that the Almighty has a concern for the welfare of that man, and has therefore commanded His servants, the planets or the elements, to produce such a condition in him that he may turn away from the world to his Maker.The knowledge of this fact is a lustrous pearl from the ocean of inspirational knowledge, to which all other forms of knowldge are as islands in the sea.”

-The Alchemy of Happiness, Imam Al-Ghazali

Answer 11

Salaam, Brother Amallay, their are many ways to cheer up, just think about it!!

Answer 12

I have had times of sadness recently, that come on what I think are medical reasons. I get into the Psalms and read them, Or I will call some of the places I know for inspiration, and soon I will see other children, and enjoy them, or go up for Mass. Do some de cluttering, and get past the point of feeling sorry for myself, and start praising God for all that He has done for me.  

Answer 13

I mope around and cry. Then I pray to Allah foe help. After that I eat chocolate then mope around some more. I repeat this cycle until I fell better!

Answer 14

*Go into solitude for a while

*Reflect

*Make Du'a

*Read/contemplate

*Try to help others

*Count my blessings

*Remember those who are far worse off then me

At times I need to break down in order to move on.

Are you okay? xx

@ tasha19: You do have to eat before Fajr it is known as Suhoor/sehri :) I don't see what the confusion is...? You don't have to wake up at a FIXED time for Sehri i.e if Fajr starts at 4.10 it is okay even if one wakes up about 4am, or even before.

Answer 15

EAT!
