What do you like to do when you're feeling down?
Hey guys! I just wanted to make this thread to give everyone an opportunity to share what they like to do when they're feeling down. Maybe some of you can use this as inspiration next time you feel upset :)
@RajviD05
I make myself a cup of tea and maybe watch an episode of a funny sitcom( but when I feel really bad tbh I just sleep)
@RajviD05
When I feel bad, I go to a deserted park and dance on roller skates. It turns out stupid, perhaps, but I'm happy.
@creativeAvocado2529
How??? I would just fall over XD
@RajviD05
I like to:
- Watch comfort shows/movies
- Write electronic book comments down onto pen and paper with a show or movie in the background
- Read
- Do some Diamond Art (this is a very new hobby I've picked up)
- Sometimes but not often, do a puzzle or do some scrapbooking
@MusicLeigh
Which shows and movies? <3
@jesusredeemedme2425
There's a lot. It is repeat ones for me.
Some of them are but not limited to; Friend's, The Big Bang Theory, H20: Just Add Water, Shadow and Bone, Harry Potter films, Hocus Pocus, Beetlejuice, Shrek and a whole lot more.
These days, if it's the daytime I prefer to get some sleep. Not inspiring, I know...but I don't always have sufficient energy to do something else.
@slowdecline48
What is sleep? :P
@jesusredeemedme2425 😆 I hear that...
"SLEEP, n. 1. A physical state with which night people are unfamiliar, outside of daylight hours. 2. A biological activity only practiced by babies, elderly people, & full-time security guards."
@slowdecline48
What is a night person....?????
It means a person who is naturally more awake at night, someone who feels most alive at night. Someone who does not like getting up in the morning but stays up late with no problems, someone who is usually tired during the day....in other words, someone like me. 🌝👹
@slowdecline48
That is absolutely me. lol
At this rate, I'm gonna end up working for whatever firm owns the Urban Dictionary website...any more questions? Que pasa? 😂
@slowdecline48
Yes, another question... What is the meaning of life? lol
I already told you that. 😎
@RajviD05
I love listening to metal :D Skillet and Thousand Foot Krutch are my faves <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 As a former--& occasionally still active--metalhead, reading that made me glad.
@slowdecline48
Everyone thinks it's weird that I'm a girl and I like metal! lol
@RajviD05 I started journaling and it made feel better rather quickly.
Lately I've been working with polymer clay.
Also, a physical therapist gave me a few exercises to do at home. I don't do all of them consistently but there are two I stick with. They do prevent me from being a sedentary lump. Couple days ago I rode my bike for the first time in a while...my butt is slightly sore now, but it's a good kind of soreness. Not like the usual s***.
@slowdecline48
Polymer clay???? Pics please??? :D
@RajviD05
I really like to color! I have a lot of coloring books and I find it really soothing.
@RajviD05
Heya Rajvi! I enjoy listening to music when I'm down, it normally helps bring my mood up. Also hanging out with friends normally brightens my day as well :)
@RajviD05 Almost anything other than sitting around & doing nothing. Inactivity is the worst option when you're feeling down. For me it could be going for a walk, working on a craft project... getting a bite to eat can help (if you don't overdo it). If I'm feeling really depressed I sometimes write poetry. It's not the kinda thing most people like to read, though. 😄
