What helps you get over a bad day?

Question

I am very down and depressed lately-stressed with work, overwhelmed, and tired. I feel sick, have a backache, and need encouragement or help. How can I get out of this depression and into a happier feeling? I want to be better and feel better, it's just been a long one and a tiring one. Can you help out? Can you think of any good Christian Bible verses that would help in this situation?

Answer 1

Just take a second, and look to the happy things in life.  Have any kids?  Think about how you are so lucky to have a job at all, when many people in this world are not as fortunate.  Remember:

The dawn is darkest just before the dawn.

You'll get there, to a happier and better time, it just takes hard work and patience.  Let everything in your life settle down.

Answer 2

i think of all the things make me happy.if this feeling for you keeps going on i suggest seeing a therapist for this can lead to depression/suicide/drugs/alcohol

Answer 3

Exercise, It will reduce stress and take your mind off all of the things you are worrying about, at least while you are working out. It can even help cure your aching back. You can start off with something as simple as a long walk and then ramp it up. Some of my best ideas come while I am running.
