I woke up in a funk this morining, which made me wonder if there might be better ways to snap out of it? road rage just seems to be looked down on around here. :madfire:
what kinds of things do ya'll do to make you feel better?

watch anime.. listen to music.. just anything to keep my mind off it..
Get a cold drink, a take-away, sit in the front room, snuggle up on the sofa in my covers and watch a comedy.

pretty much all last summer i was in variously deep stages of depression and what i liked to do was tahe a hot shower, listen to music (avoid sad or angry music thou) and talk to friends both online and Off.. i spent most of last summer kicking but on my friends RP sites... but what broke the bout of depression was my brother draging me out of the house every day to do something... anything, if only to eat fast-food or walk and talk.. i don't think i thanked him for that either:(

Same here. Listen to the music of Dj Tiësto. That really cheers me up. And it puts me in a nice mood.
And watch some old episodes of Bleach.

I either watch old episodes of One Piece (god its funny :P)

Well like most of us I listen to music to cheer me up (especially reel big fish music, I always feel good after listening, they even have an album and song called ''cheer up'' it's pretty great ^^)
other then that i talk to friends, own people in online games (mostly counter strike in my case), draw stuff or i go for a lonely stroll at night
I definitely jump in my hot tub, and play my iPod.
Or I go play piano, or driving.
Except there are WAY too many stupid people out here when it comes to driving,
and I just get even more mad.
:lol
I just need to look at a pic of my GF and it puts a smile on my face =)

I usally just play lots and lots of mindless video games for ages, to help take my mind off everything, or watch anime, movies, listen to music... sometimes get drunk with friends (but not that often, cause i don't really like drinking)
Miyagi Rikku
06-06-2007, 07:28 AM
I sing alot of rock songs @___@ and play games. @___@
Yamamoto
06-06-2007, 07:33 AM
I would also cook as it keeps me busy..
or if there is a piano somewhere, play piano (it gets me in the zone and make compositions)
going for a walk works too (i should do this more)
singing is also a good release, especially singing along to very upbeat songs :)

I usually try to play a game which requires a lot of concentration like Starcraft :)
I think to myself, "No matter how bad today is, you can be sure tomorrow will be worse", "You have no right to complain; there are people having worse than you do right now," and "If this really is the worst, at least you'll never have to experience it again".

I'm a fairly good whistler. I know most of the songs on the triple j hitlist, so whistling quietly along to the tunes can be mildly entertaining now and then. Not singing though.
Neko Rae
10-06-2007, 11:25 PM
When I'm just a little bit upset singing cheers me up but that doesn't work when I'm crying too hard to sing.
When I'm that upset I try to read a book to get my mind off my troubles. But that didn't work yesterday so I just didn't cheer up at all
Silhouette
10-06-2007, 11:29 PM

Definitely listening to music. Watching anime helps too.
Talking to friends, and just lounging around sometimes helps me.
Sometimes I just fall asleep, and when I wake up, it isn't so bad.
Kiyone TB
10-11-2007, 02:33 PM
I chatting with my friend, eat ice cream, acting like a crazy people, scream loudly and make a joke with my family.
Same like dreaming, watching anime but sometimes it didn't work 'cuz I can't watch anime with bad mood.
Masturbate, get naked, talk to myself.

I'm the same way, although I don't clean my entire house (thats my fathers job) I do clean my room, as it helps me feel fresh and usually removes w/e is on my mind.
Maybe I should start cleaning my room now... No ones told me happy birthday but my dad. :( I think im gonna cry... someone hold me?
I play a game of Bball for myself, or dive into a nice rest.

Depends on what I got angry about.
If I got angry because of something random, I'll most likely go play a video game or something to cheer up.
If somebody pissed me off, then well violence is the answer:)

I don't listen to music when I'm down. I'd feel more frustrated if I did. And I'd want to kill something. Very badly. >_>
I just go about continuing to do my own thing and when I get preoccupied with work, I'd forget about why I'm upset. It helps me a lot.
