How to get over a sad mood when one is alone...

IN my opinion no family members, nor any closed friend would fill up the gap that is created due to one or the other reasons. If you are so weal that your problems would be solved by your friends and relatives you are the most unfortunates ones. Life is like this and your are the best person to solve it.

when I'm alone, I just listen to classical tunes, It is really comforting and relieving. The soft tune soothes inside me and brings positive outlook of life. :)

There is a great age difference between us, so maybe I've just learned through living how to adjust to the sadness. It really depends on what makes me sad. If I don't really have a reason, I'm just down, I put on some upbeat music and tackle a project that I've been putting off. I have to focus on the project and the music lifts my spirit. If I'm sad because there's been some negative occurance in my life, I focus on it for 10 minutes, let the frustration, anger, or sadness pour out. Then it's time to put on the happy music and get on with my day. Think about those friends and family that support you when they're there. Focus on them, and sometimes you know them so well you can hear and feel their support even though they're not there.

Hi Rashmie, you have the same name as one my cousins. She is the most active cousins I have. Now, being alone! It is your thinking that you are alone but you have us as your friends. I have been in such situations for many months but now also I don't have friends like 3 years ago but the difference is that I am now more happier than at that time. I am alone but I don't let my mind think that I am alone. I try to keep me busy every time. when I feel no one is there to share my story. I go out and play video games in a parlor. There I can enjoy my life at its best. The only thing which can make you feel happy is make your self busy!

To getover a sad mood, I always pray. Talking to God lift my spirit. I'll keep myself busy after. I watch TV and take a nap. When I open my eyes for sure I have a quite happy mood.

A very good question indeed Rashmie. When Sadness persists for a long time, then I would immediately goto beach and walk along the sea shore. It definitely removes the pressure out from you and soothes your mind with some enchanting experience. I very much feel relieved from any sort of external pressures and sadness after talking a brisk walk in the beach.

exercise seems to be the only thing that helps me when the sadness is something serious. usually if i am that sad, music or other distractions cannot help. i cannot sleep it off because the sadness fills my dreams, and in my restless sleep, every moment between dreams becomes agonizing because the sadness comes to my conscious mind, thus preventing me from getting back to sleep! i found when i'm really upset, i cannot get the energy to do things, such as watch tv, read a book, go for a walk in order to distract myself. i cannot concentrate! i found the only thing that focusses me is the exercise. as long as i can motivate myself to begin (which can be difficult, in itself lol), if i am doing a workout routine, within a few minutes, my brain is now off my problems, and while my muscles are busy, my brain is busy too! sometimes i even end with a smile :)

I am staying away from my parents,my sister and my brother too.we are staying in different places.and when i am in sad mood i will listen to some songs which changes my mood or i will watch a movie to change my mood or call to any friend so that to discuss any topic to forget my sad thing.Nice topic to discuss and its thinkable dear.Keep smiling and happy mylotting.

Hi Rashmie! I can see you have got all sort of opinions through your responses to get rid of your sadness, all are quality responses and may be mine do not stand equal to those. Whenever i get sad and find nobody to share my feelings, i just go to sleep to forget the reason of my sadness for that time because i know nothing else is going to help me. I tried it most of the times and succeeded too. But if you are trying to get rid of your sadness for forever then you need to get to the root of the problem, it may give you more pain for a while but could be only cure. Hope you do find a better way to tackle it.

One way to get rid of the sadness that surrounds you when you are alone and having to share your feelings with is that you can write your thoughts in a diary. This is the best way to drain your sorrow down. Or you can simply call to your closest one and speak with him for sometime to feel better.
