What do you do to cheer yourself up when you are feeling very sad and depressed? Sometimes I play online games like car races or war games. It is really good for clearing the mind of sad thoughts, but if nothing seems to work and you only feel like crying, when it happen some people eat more.
Comfort foods can trigger more relaxed and positive thoughts that release serotonin, which counters depression and anger.
so what do you when you are feeling sad?

When i'm sad i like to play first person shooter games, it tends to loosen the nerves and make you feel better. Not in a sense that I like killing people, but its just nice to calm down with some good old video games.

I know is the best way to clear your mind of sad thoughts; I like to play first person shooter games, too, for the adreanaline rush and any video game would make me feel the same. the old ones are the good because you can remember them from when you were a child and can really enjoy playing those games. it helps, too, knowing the secrets in those games it make them easier and less stressing.
Racing games are fun, too.

I used to eat a snack when I was sad or depressed, but I'm trying to curb that now. These days I'll go get an ice cold bottle of water and call my mom. She always perks me up. If that doesn't work, and don't laugh, I'll turn on a rerun of "The Golden Girls", because they keep me in stitches. Now, I said don't laugh. LOL

I didn't laugh, not so high haha, na, I am joking, I even asked my girlfriend about that show and she told me something about 4 old girls, but I have not seen that tv show, I think I will watch that, but I don't like to watch so much tv. I think if it make you feel happy it is a good idea. when I am sad I like to play the card game "uno" but I think anything that can clear your mind of sad thoughts is ok.
I don't like talk with anybody when I am sad because it would make me cry, but I also think it is good to be with someone special.

It IS about four older ladies. And I never caught the show in anything but reruns. But I'm glad I found something to bring a smile to my face. I agree being with someone special can help the sadness. Sometimes they can even prevent the sadness. I think when a person can be happy being alone, then they have accomplished something. It's just a hard thing to do.

feeling sad is normal to us.i've read in the bible about sorrow. and it says sorrow is better than laughter. i wondered.. why? i realized that in every sod moment it helps the person to become better.so i think the better things to do when you are sad is to become sad. but dont let that sadness overcome you. just think that it's ok. eventhough you think it's not. just trust God.
