What do you do when you feel down?

[Aloredd]

I usually look for some activity to do with my younger siblings (aged 11 and 9) that I used to do with my older sibling when I was their age. I'm honestly in the same boat as you right now, but spending quality time with family doing activities I enjoy is good for my spirits. Also, listening to music and groups who make worthwhile songs where the lyrics actually mean something helps too. For example, the song that comes to mind right now is Aloe Blacc's 'Lift your Spirits'. He's one artist I listen to all the time because each one of his songs has some sort of meaning I can attach to what I'm feeling at the moment.

Edit: I listen to mainly his Lift you Spirits album....not too familiar with his other albums....

talk to my friends or watch adorable videos on the internet

like this

I take a break. I pet my cat. I watch cartoons, take a walk, read a book. Drink a boatload of really tasty tea. Eat a snack. Just be nice to myself for a while.

And if that doesn't work, I talk to someone about it; getting a few hugs and a bit of sympathy does wonders.

I have sex Everything is much better, after that.

[Silerna]

I draw or watch tv,listen to music or play a game

[justjezz]

Go on YouTube, type in "funny cat videos", and spend an hour or two. You're welcome.

But of course, there's the option of hugging it out with friends, or just doing something different to get your mind off things. I hope you get out of your sad-funk soon.

Think of all the good things in life. It really does help.

[mappypaint]

I just go for a drive around the village. Always puts a smile on my face. ^u^

[SpavVy]

I just get really upset but I then stop and think for a while and figure something out, I also like to listen to soothing Native American music to help me relax. My mother is part Native American and I grew up listening to this stuff a lot.

[twjalkh]

I like to play an old game like Final Fantasy 9. Or just waste 3-4 hours on Dota or HoTS, if possible.

[scythe]

I watch anything related to cosmology. All the unfathomable timelines and distances really puts things into perspective for me, which has a positive effect on me.

[TristanJensen]

When I feel down i usually just pet my dog or cat (or both at the same time). Either that or just doodle a bunch

[MylCreates]

Try to find a solution asap and not waste time moping, I never ask why that, I ask more how to. Then create an elaborate step to step to do list to achieve that solution. Usually I tell the process to someone so I will feel responsible for fulfilling it.

For short term issues I look at this gif

or watch this:

When I'm feeling bad I read some comics or walk around and listen to some music for a bit. And if that doesn't work I go and ask how someones day has been. For some odd reason it always makes me feel better listening to someone I care about. Plus if I want a good laugh I listen to some game grumps c:

[zoonland]

I listen to music, or sing, but I also browse some funny things on Tumblr. Tumblr is the temple of the funny things

[pekingduck]

I usually play games such as Super Smash Bros for the 3DS or, if friends are up for it, Left 4 Dead 2.
Makes me take my mind off whatever I am sad about, and it works most of the time.

Messaging and talking with friends and watching videos are also ways to boost my mood.

[Maffi]

Thank you everyone for great responses . It really lightened me up

[abbastudios]

I allow it to happen and then move on with my life.

[monotone_ink]

I watch a bit of Nichijou, listen and laugh to the sheer happiness of Mariachi music and then fill my drawing book with sketch dumps. (and maybe watch a video of a cute ghost dancing to moses supposes.)

[handykartika]

I think music/songs can be quite useful when it comes to picking people up when they're down, including me. Not sure if this music will help you the same way it helps me to feel different sorts of emotion every single time i listen to it.
Yiruma - River flows in you

Sorry, apparently I couldn't find the way to embed the video into here >.<
Well anyway I hope the music can help you and/or other people. Thought I'd share :3
