Sometimes when we might get into bad mood. What is the best thing to do when you are upset? Stay in one's own room or talk to someone and let them know you are feeling?

When I am low, I seldom share with others. Rather, I would go out for myself, to watch the busy life in the streets, malls and gardens. A bit of walking and fresh air can help to bring me back to normal. Watching a comedy movie is also an option.

Tom and Jerry is my favorite cartoon to watch to make myself laugh.

It all depends on what has made me upset. Sometimes it feels good to talk to someone about my problems. Other times, I just want to be left alone so I can have the time to think things out without bothering someone else with my problems.

I also think talking to someone helps to solve our problems. I think sometimes when we spend time alone we will feel better. It depends upon the mood.

i find that the best thing for me to do is to step away from the situation and find a way to calm down. I like to listen to music, or work on the computer for a bit, to relax, while I try and think of a way to solve the problem of whatever is upsetting me. I carry my small CD player in my bag, so I can do this even when i am away from home.

Take a time out. Step back away from things and analyze. Try to think and not just feel. Reason should always stay in control.

I also think it is good to take a break and to think about the things and think what we can do to prevent ourselves from getting upset in our lives.

see a movie. sleep. or talk to someone about it. just don't act on it impulsively. because you will certainly regret something you have done in a moment of mental instability!

When I am really upset I really don’t feel like doing anything at all. I like withdrawing into my own shell and brooding inside my mind. I don’t even feel like smiling or talking or eating anything. Sometimes good soulful music helps but mostly I like keeping to myself.

Well it really depends in the situation. Sometimes it is good to talk to someone, and it will make us feel better, other times a cool off period is beneficial as well. I am usual in a very good mood not matter what but I've had my bad days. I find that taking a bit of time to just sit down and read usually takes my mind of whatever it is creating a problem and when I finish reading I"m usually my normal self :)

Hi Ajit, When I feel bad I just go out and try to find a lonely place to think and overcome from the problem. But if I don't feel good after some time I join my friends. They make me happy most times.

I am not in the mood to talk when I am in a bad mood. I would rather stay quiet, not speaking a word. I would be eating my ice cream or something sweet in the fridge and enjoy it so that I would be feeling better later on. I sometimes go out alone and then shop, that's the best remedy I can give myself when I am really am upset. Shopping is really a girls way to enjoy and forget things even being broken hearted or upset on someone you expect something. I don't like to cry and just closed my room and do nothing when I am upset. I am the opposite, I would really enjoy to go out and have fun, do such exciting things that I know I haven't experience and it will really make me feeling better later on.

If I feel upset ,I would eat a lot of things .For I am very thin and I like eating.And after I finished all the food ,I would feel very well .And the unhappy things are all in my stomach.

I think it is better not to eat when upset because I found most times I eat more when I am sad or depressed.
