what do you do when you're sad?

When I'm sad I talk to my dog.

She'll always listen without butting in, and always tilt her head and lick my hands when I'm sad.

I go for a walk to the park.

Sit on the swing and think about the good times.

I know it sounds childish but the little things make me smile.

Smiles cure sadness.

Here's my smile to you :)

I ask myself what I would suggest if I were my good friend /spouse or parent. Sometimes it's just taking a little time for myself walking in the park enjoying good weather; sometimes it's relaxing in a warm bath with a cup of something good and a little treat maybe a chocolate truffle) while listening to music that makes me happy. The soundtrack to "South Pacific," which I have known since I was very small, almost always makes me happy, so I'll sing songs from it or listen to it. Sometimes I'll call a good friend and commiserate. Sometimes I'll take myself to a movie I've been wanting to see. Sometimes I'll just lie around with my pets. If I'm angry and sad, it helps to do something physical and nurturing, like gardening, which I enjoy. It is usually just taking time to listen to that small voice within that responds to the question, "what can I do to help you feel better?," and then doing whatever it is.

When I'm sad.. I cry and curl up in a little fetus position.. but then I remember the good things I have in life and try to be grateful and try to get past the depression :)

I cry, and usually since I'm suicidal I usually listen to "The Fray - How To Save A Life" That song actually did save my life.

call someone u trust, and just chat. avoid whatever makes u sad. and if u dont wanna talk to anyone, listen to songs like "my heart will go on". they calm u down alot and kinda bring up ur spirit.

listen to music that could make me feel better. That's what i do whenever I'm sad

Sit on my bed with my i-pod and think about why I'm sad. And how to fix it if possible. Or write in my journal.

I think about why!!!!

and then seek logical answers,to the why ! and then I deal with it! whatever it may take.....

A really good pick me up tactic is...

to do something nice for someone...I like doing stuff for eldely people, and also young people..

and when you get there appreciation, you feel good!

I'm freakin sad now and somehow i've managed to enroll myself in this yahoo answer whatever....and i'm sitting here at my computer CRYING my eyes out.

man i get so freakin high im a floating in the sky no, no i dont do that thats lame.

I listen to music, get on here, try to do something to get my mind off being sad
