Our pets, they literally just want to love and please us and when I'm sad, she knows it and usually does her best to change it whether I like it or not. lol

What cheers me up is family and music.

There are a lot of things I do when I feel down: I read a good book, go for a walk, hit the gym. Yoga is a great stress reliever.

Sometimes just vegging out in front of the TV or browsing online helps..gets my mind off my troubles. I also call friends and family when things aren't going well. I can count on them to listen without judging.

I also find volunteer work helps. I volunteer at an animal shelter and it always makes me feel better when I help make an abandoned animal more adoptable! It's hard for me to leave there in a sad/bad mood, because I know I've done something good for them!

sitting out in the sun but really, shopping. I've noticed it more and more that when I am unhappy and depressed, I feel so much better just to even be thinking about shopping. Doesn't have to be Saks or anything special. Can be just a trip to Big Lots. It just takes my mind off of things.

Having one of my cats cuddle with me....on their own terms.

Writing it all out
The kiddies in my family -- I LOVE children.
Putting in a beloved CD and potting up the volume and dancing around by myself

putting on make up.. when i was in high school, i used to take time intervals to do make up... that helped me focus on my study...

Road trips. Driving through the countryside always makes me feel better.

Jeneen · Sep 9th, 2009, 09:45 AM

Making plans with friends, playing with my dog, pampering/shopping (only if I'm not depressed about money!), watching good TV/Movies, cooking a delicious new meal, focusing on the good things I've accomplished and my positive qualities...

Fresh air and exercise, margaritas with the girls, playing dress up in my closet.

When I 1st came to this country (many yrs ago), I was severely depressed. I laid in bed and watched TV most of the time, even though I didn't understand much of what was said, it was an escape from reality. Only time made that bout go away (about 6 years).

Nowadays, when I feel blue, I play in the internet, maybe watch a sitcom (I have to be careful with the TV or it goes into the 'too much' category rather quickly)

pickle · Sep 9th, 2009, 12:01 PM

Oh, yeah... exercise is great. Window shopping is too.

Elsie87 · Sep 9th, 2009, 02:17 PM

Taking a long, relaxing bath; eating a delicous meal; watching a "girls" movie or Star Trek; playing with my dog; talking to my mum

Prosperity · Sep 9th, 2009, 02:27 PM

TV, pets, shopping, running and chocolate.
