What do you do to feel better?

I take a hot shower

I would usually listen to some songs, TRY TO HELP MYSELF , eat some delicious food , go for a walk

I usually listen to music like cirque by sub urban or class fight by melanie martinez

Being productive and doing different things

I watch movies, listen to music.

Number one on the list: try to identify and accept how you are feeling. We label some emotions as bad and some as good but they all deserve to be felt. Self reflection (like journaling, taking long walks, talking with someone you trust and/or praying if you are religious) can help with this.

-If you feel out of control, deep breathing can help you re-center and reduce physical symptoms by resupplying your body with oxygen.

-Excersize can clear your mind and reduce physical symptoms of pent up energy.

I go for walks, I read outside, I listen to music, I watch youtube videos that make me laugh :)

Talk to God, Family and Friends Good movies or tv shows and music..

This is such a wonderful idea for a thread, thank you Glen for starting it! I hope these tips are helpful.

- I'm an avid lover of literature, so sometimes when I don't feel up to facing a problem, I'll take a few minutes to read. After spending a few minutes with my current novel, I usually feel calmer and more towards the right frame of mind to think about whatever is bothering me. If I'm not feeling like reading (a rare occurrence :P) then sometimes I'll enjoy a favorite movie, TV show or genre of music.

- I've made a habit out of journaling and it's one of my favorite ways of maintaining mental health. Every night -- sometimes every few nights, if I'm busy -- I'll just write about my day and its ups and downs, things that are stressing me out, and anything I'd like to get off my chest. I find that when things are on paper, they're easier to sort out -- it's like venting to a person, but one who won't judge or complain.

- I also love writing, and getting lost in the world of my characters can be helpful in that sometimes I figure out what I can do based on how I write their choices -- I think @Listeningsarinn mentioned something similar! :)

- I'm not a very big athlete, but as a nature lover, getting fresh air can help a lot, and sometimes exercise can help release pent-up stress or energy. I always feel a bit more energized after going for a walk or run outside and getting some sun.

- Engaging in my hobbies helps relax me quite often. For instance, as someone who's very interested in philosophy, law, political science, current events and the like, I enjoy listening to my favorite politics podcasts or hearing different opinions on current events (although, this may induce more stress for others who aren't as nerdy about current events as I -- so my point is, just do what you enjoy!). I also like to engage in other relaxing hobbeis such as coding and robotics, or if I don't have as much energy, drawing and painting.

- Sometimes spending time with my friends or loved ones can help me feel better. Whether I'm talking to them about what I am worried about, or just spending time with them, their presence can be a comfort. That being said, as an introvert, I often need some time alone instead.

I know this was a rather long list, for which I apologize. I just hoped that some of these ideas could be helpful to others who are looking for coping methods. Take care everyone. :)

Oh! Sorting things--like doing dishes, cleaning a room, organizing a drawer--if I can't solve my huge problems, I can put something in order.
