I'm really feeling down right now, and if I'm in this mood, I usually want to do something that will make me cheer up. People usually get into a mood like there's nothing that can ease our mood or someone who can cheer us up. If I feel this way, the only thing I want is to get out and go somewhere else. Sometime, I go to a joy ride. I just ride a public transpo and just take a ride to where it will take me. I just want to breath in a fresh air, and see something different. That's the only way I can do to ease my mood. How about you? What do you do or want to do if you're feeling down? Care to share it? Thanks and happy mylotting.

When I feel depressed and feeling down there is one place that comes in my mind to visit and that is church asking God to give me strength and share to Him my problems after that I want to be with my family and their presence coz they also give me courage and inspiration to fight for whatever problems I have encounter.

Oh yes, very well said. Our Almighty is the only one can give us good advice and can provide proper guidance for all our burden. Having a supportive family would also of significance if we're feeling down. Thanks for sharing your opinion here. Happy mylotting.

When I feel really awful, I go to sleep. Even if I'm not tired, I have no trouble falling asleep. When I wake up I always feel better.

When I am feeling down I usually go out alone or if there is some friends who can share expenses to a bar. :) Sometimes I just face to a computer a chat or browse to the net and look for something that can give me extra income.

Since I have learned to value happy over sad,nothing really gets me down. I know that no matter what happens there is always ICE CREAM!!!

@SimpleBB (1329)

Oowww. ICE CREAM. Actually, stressed if you read backward means desserts. Well taking ice cream as an outlet can be consider. And it can subside emotion and it's really cool, literally...lol. Thanks for responding here.

For me if I'm feeling down time for me to pray to Jehovah God that he can cure me and back to normal what I'm feel.

Well atleast no need for you to find people who would understand you. And you're lucky to have an understanding and supportive husband. Writing is also a good outlet of expressing our emotions. Thanks for your shared ideas and responding to this post. Happymylotting.

If u'r feeling down, laugh. IF u can't bring yourself to laugh, then cry. It's simple. DOn't bottle up our own feelings. It's better to vent them out whenever possible, so that happiness will come to u sooner. There are many ways to find happiness, such as taking a joy ride, or be doing something u enjoy. If u really have no mood for those, try out something different and challenging, something u wanted to do, but has got no time. Or, do something u have always hated to do. Somehow or other, u might end up taking a liking to it.

Thanks for your response, actually that's what I really want to be. A positive thinker, accept what's happening and try not to control it. And you're right, finding happiness is in our own hands and there's really lot of ways. Thanks for these nice words. Happy mylotting.

...when im feeling down, either i go to sleep, listen to my favorite music or better yet, walk on a seaside...they all work for me...although, i prefer the latter since it helps me a lot when im down and i can breathe fresh air to calms me down...

The ambiance in the seashore really sooth one's mood and together with fresh air. Thanks for responding here in this post. Happy mylotting.

Yes. Same here. When I am feeling down, I think of something that will really cheer me up like going to places where I can find enjoyment. I also talk to people/ friends who I know can make my day or would just simple make me feel better somehow. I have a motorcyle, and yes, joyride is an effective way to ease your depression. Seeing beautiful places around you and people you haven't seen a long time ago will make you feel better..

So you see? Joyride is an enjoyable outlet. Being in a new place and meeting new people can change our mood. But take care in riding in your motorcycle. Thanks for posting your experience and shared it with us, your mylotters.

if i'm feeling down, i go for a walk, or ride my bike and feel the wind, this helps me relax my mind. or go to the computer shop and play games with my friends, for you i suggest you watch a funny movie so that you can forget the thing that made you upset, or you can just lie on on your bed, and reflect on yourself. there are a lot of thing that you can do just don't solve it with violence or other unnecessary things to do.good luck

@SimpleBB (1329)

There's really lot of things to divert one's focus just to get rid of something that upset us. Well probably, violence really must be the least on the list. Violence won't do good for us. Thanks for this advice and happy mylotting.

I guess I'm the only one who does what I do. I usually just let my self be sad for a little while. I know it sounds weird but it kind of makes me feel better.

@SimpleBB (1329)

Well of course, I won't react for how you handle your emotion. May be it sounds weird for you, but I know that people are different in many aspects, and you're not exempted to that. It is your system that accept this way that makes you feel better, and no one are entitled to questioned you. Thanks for responding to this post,DancinL. Happy mylotting.

Well Graceekwenx, thanks for being the first one to drop your lines on this post. I believe that chatting is also fine, well as what I did just right now, came into mylot and chat aiming to find ways of how to get rid of this down moment. Talking with someone can be of help really. Atleast you can release and get advices.

When I am feeling down.., I want to breath fresh air too.., I need to go out and unwind.., Because If I stay in my room and lock myself up.. I would feel suffocated and it makes me wanna burst out.., It makes my chest tight.., =)

@SimpleBB (1329)

If we opted to be alone, the more we feel the burden. And yes, it made us feel more suffocated. What we need really is space, air to breath to let go of our feeling. Wheww, life's really unpredictable, sometimes it make us feel like wanting to be alone, or either needing someone around to console us.

@artnoble123 (198)

Try to watch movies or read comic books, sometimes I just went to breath some fresh air. I also take a walk to our city plaza and just watch time pass by.

Thanks artnoble, Your words remind me of my former boss. Whenever he notice me not in good mood, he keeps on telling my "hey you can take a walk and see those vehicles passing by, it can really change your mood", isn't he's nice? Reading animated books brings us to our childhood without problems. That can be cool also. thanks for the ideas too.

I also reach a point where I have to just get out of the house. Here, it looks like the rain has stopped, the sunshine is out, and I too must go out. I have people to visit, people to see and things I must do.

@SimpleBB (1329)

yes meeting some people who could inspired us or people on different jolly mood, could help us ease our feeling. Being alone, oftenly won't do good if we don't know how to handle our emotion.Thanks for sharing your experience as the posted issue here.

when i feel too depressed and lonely i get my bag pack some stuff and head on to a place quiet. i usually go to a far coffee shop. i love coffee and it makes me feel relieved while i listen to my favorite music and sing with it. that's what i do. and by the way i cry a lot, just to release all the tension. :)

Well I usually do some sports or chill out with my friends. Thats pretty good idea - chill out with my friends.

Having friedns around is really a blessing. Being alone can worsen the situation I think. Having ears to listen and shoulder to cry on is really a big help for low moments of our lives. And as a friend, I know it's our role...to cheer up a low spirited friend.
