What Do You Do...?

Reading helps,so does ranting online! Seriously,one feels better after expressing one's thoughts in written,that makes them more organized and clear. When I'm in a bad mood I usually read,listen to music or play violent video games. Now that's a stress reliever and nobody gets hurt!

I talk to my online friends usually someone is around. I'm not very religious so that's not an option for me. And reading a book would be impossible as my mind would not be able to focus away from what is bothering me.

hi, hey would like to be friends. you could write to me anytime. looks like you have been for quite a while here on mylot. i am still new to this place. Well i would go wit the music as i love music myself. the other thing that really helps is some kind of a sport whatever it miht be,

If there is something thats bugging me and I don't have anyone around that I really want to discuss it with, I write. In and with words I think of all the "what ifs", pros and cons and how I actually feel about the situation. Admittedly, I found myself even talking out-loud to myself about things before or just saying stuff like, "you know better than that".

i go to My Msn And Talk to my friends there..listening 2 music ^^

I like to write when I need a friend, but none are available. If my issue is with a person, then I write it in letter form. I know I won't ever send the letter, but it helps me write what I'm feeling and lets me think about what can be done to make me feel better or resolve my issue. Sometimes just letting it out in some form can be helpful.

those are very wonderful things, I do them too, and depending on the situation I might just go to bed, sometimes sleeping on the issue makes a big difference in the morning, you can see it from a different perspective.

I watch a movie and when the need is there to unburden myself I generally choose one that will have me crying hard. Otherwise, I find myself chatting to the pets. They don't take a lot of notice so I cannot actually unburden myself on them. I'm slowly getting to be able to talk with my daughter. She is taking the time to talk to me and I give her feedback and it seems we are slowly learning to understand each other. There is still such a long way for us to go. I think I will stick to movies and my pets. Lovely to see you my dear friend.

I tend to write more when I need to talk. It seems to help me get out what it is that I need to get out even if no one sees it or reads it. It just makes me feel so much better. I also love to listen to music too as I love to listen to the words of a song. Have a wonderful day! Happy MyLotting, SingleMommy

i usually write and cry. writing allows me to say things to somebody who's not there. it makes me release my feelings which is a good thing. and crying helps too.

I hardly ever have anyone to talk too. I live alone, I did have someone when I was working I talked to a few of my close co-workers, then when things starting getting slow at work and they were laying people off my friends that I talked to were gone, so I just get on the computer or look at television until the moment or mood pass. I have tried to call some friends but the time you need them no one is at home or answers their phone. So life goes on and I just deal with it all alone.

I'm always talking to God in my good times and bad. I read the bible also. I find it to be comforting. I also write in my journal. Sometimes the entries are pages long, sometimes they it is only a couple of paragraphs, but just getting my emotions on paper really helps me out a lot.

If times came to me that I feel that I really need a friend with me to talk to or atleast would listen or to me or anything but there just none available for me then.... I read a book instead or listen to mellow music or just stared at nowhere or let out a loud cry. I dont care if my neighbors would hear me as long as I can let it go wit a cry. and when I cry it means that I am letting the Lord handle my situation because I cant handle it anymore. I cry and cry like a child until all that is in my heart will go away. And yes... God is always good with me and all those who come to HIM for help... because He helps them and give them rest.

I just go for sleep then I will go for sea view to refresh from the depression as you said. Most of the time it this not happen, I listen music, which really helps me to out from this.

That is why Mylot is so invaluable my friend, because I know whatever, whenever I have a problem, feel down, need a hug then I can turn to my friends here on Mylot, I have made some wonderful friends and I have even called them my 'adopted sisters' because over the years I have needed support, help and someone to listen and to talk to and I know there is always someone there if I need them, and I hope that goes for my friends who need to chat or talk to. I am a good listener that is one of my qualities even if I can be very quiet at times. I also find music a great comforter and I hear the lyrics, I put on music dependant on my mood. When I am feeling ill I do prefer to be on my own and left alone, but sometimes even an island needs a crossing. Sometimes I talk to my animals and that alone is wonderful for relieving pent up emotions and stress, animals can be a great comfort when humans are not around, and sometimes animals can be more comforting than humans!

Yes it is true that reading can help you subside the loneliness when there is no one to talk especially if the book your reading is inspiring and very interesting. Aside that music could help too and that helps me to divert my emotion when feeling alone and no one to talk to. Watching inspiring movies as well i believe it could help somehow just to eat time and consume the time when no one to talk.

I mylot! Even if I don't participate in discussions I will read some, especially any that can make me laugh and put a smile on my face. Music is good too, though my autistic son isn't into music (he's getting better about it) so I don't listen to it as often as I used to. Sometimes I sing to lift my spirits. It's a lot of fun, even if my voice isn't the greatest.

We all do feel like talking to people sometimes. It was not hard when I was livng in the Philippines since I was surrounded by friends. I have now just a limited number of friends since we relocated so when I get sad or lonely I take a walk. Taking a long walk seem to be so therapeutic to me. If not I also call some of my friends on the phone and talk to them for hours. It's a relief we have a few real friends to talk to when we are lonely. Most songs make me feel lonely and homesick so as much as possible I avoid them. I only listen to jolly songs.

Actually, I usually pick up a good comic or go online on Facebook to get in touch with my friends, otherwise I surf on Mylot and it makes me feel better when Isee that someone has responded to my discussion. Happy Your-Lotting :D

reading helps alot. so does music
