when you feel sad,what would you do?

When I was younger I would write a lot in my diary and get out a lot of what I was feeling on paper, sometimes this helpeed sometimes not. I think being around people you love and trust is always a good start and if you can talk to them or somenone you feel comfertable talking to. A good way to get out all your anger is to go for a brisk walk or what I normally do now if I feel a bit cranky or have lot of bottled up emotion is actually clean the house!? I know it sound weird but it gets my mind of things and I use up energy and it somehow calms me down. I think writting how you feel or things you might want to say to someone and then ripping it up is also a good way to get out what is in your head, and doesn't hurt anyones feelings or get you into more trouble. A hug from aloved one is also a good one, or even as silly as this sounds when I was a kid just laying on my bed and hugging a pillow and having a good cry can sometimes just help. I hope some of these are helpful vick166 and I hope if you are feeling sad and helpless that you feel better soon.
