Hey when you get down in the dumps what is each persons way of dealing with it?
Crack-Cocaine? Meaningless Sex? Driving at 120 drunk? Base Jumping? Fighting bears in the wild?

I was seriously low this winter season and couldn't really find any good way to deal with it. Well. the new conan show helped me laugh my worries away. Gave me something to look forward too. Some routine. Maybe there's a tip right there?
Yeah this didn't sound superdepressing and sad at all!
PS: I'm happier now!
Really it comes down to doing something different. At some point every few months i get burnt out on video games, movies, and books, and I've had enough sitting on the couch with the wife and I need to spend a day (or sometimes a weekend) doing something new.

1. Deep breathing and think about something relaxing like the ocean
2. Cool down, Open the fridge and let the cool air chill you
3. crack open a beer/bottle of wine
4. porn
5. return to step 3 and repeat until worries are washed away.
I usually skip straight to step 4 in times of desperation. Which is apparently quite often :P
Spending time with girlfriend is also good, next best thing to feel better when there's snow (not being able to ride makes me sad).
i live with a chainsmoking drunk so i just have to step outside my room and take a quick peek to feel better
It's all about guilty pleasures! Spend an evening eating a bucket of icecream playing videogames and watching porn. Whoo!
I think this is very diffrent for everyone, for me it just goes over when i make progress in 3D, that makes me happy, and then i'm back on track again
(Don't forget porn tough, if it hasnt been mentioned enough)
None of that shit worked.

back on subject. Snowboarding works for about a week. Driving/Cruising around drivable highways. WOW...

But it was really just trying to keep positive (not easy for a hypochondriac (ex, now) and having social anxiety disorder), and do things that I truly love. It took a long time and wore down the relationship I was in (she left me 2days shy of our 7yr anniversary, back in 2009). My health issues are resolved though and aside from my s.a.d, I'm back to how I used to be. I'm still trying to resolve that problem without pill-popping, but it's a lot harder to shake.
Something about that show just really calms me, improves my mood, gets me to laugh.
Also planning to get more exercise going. Now that it's getting nicer out again, hoping to get a lot more jogging in.
Did that cheer you up?

If you spend almost all your time in front of your screens in the same room too, changing that room's layout can do wonders every once in a while, or even just putting up some new posters/wall scrolls or lights.
Oh, and ROBOT UNICORN ATTACK. Rumors say it always succeeds to provide harmony.
did that for 4 months now, and I feel that now I really balanced myself....feeling really good seriously..
the key is to be constant to see real improvements.
Go for a drive or a walk.
also, pron.
Also, I think it wasn't mentioned, when one of the ways to help myself is to help others. When you're too tired to do your own thing, just look around and I'm pretty sure that there's plenty of people who could use your help. And though it's not as much fun as compulsive masturbation, it still gives you plenty of satisfaction and eventually faith in yourself.
Best of luck buddy.) Get happy and pump some art.:)
yes! i do this aswell!
(and then i wake up:poly142:)
ahaha that was all kinds of cool!
what kind of bike do you have?
it's for real, basically a fancy name for why humans get depressed in the winter time - I've found it hard to adjust to the miserable northern weather after growing up in Florida.
Comparing being an emo twat to depression... go you!
Do people really find that the gym works? How so? The general distraction? I'm joining a gym near to my work in the next few days, am interested.
A liiiiiiitle optimistic there
i thought he was referring to Social Anxiety Disorder?
