Me, I usually stay in bed and sulk. A long drive sometimes help me clear my mind.

It's been along time since I got really depressed and lonely..but when I do, I go to friends place, there is this special friend of mine that I can always count on if ever I'm sad or lonely and though she lives miles away from me, it's her place I go to whenever I'm depressed. cheers for good friends!

Having someone to listen and share one's problem can ease the depression dwelling inside us. Cheers for lifetime friends who have the patience to listen to us.

I pull into myself and withdraw from everyone. I also, when I could, took walks alone in the desert to be alone and at peace with my Savior for help and guidence in prayer.

Hmm...very good question. I usually end up doing different things. I don't like feeling down or sad so I round up the friends and either just hang out at some bar, starbucks or just at my house playing mahjong. If not, I'll end up watching tv. I really dislike dwelling on sad thoughts and don't like to spend time reflecting on other people's mistakes either. See, my mind works like this..whatever happens, I'm always right. IF I'm wrong, I will find a way to justify it.

Hmm, that's one way to put it. How about if you can't justify your wrongdoing??? Well, just curious hope no offense meant... have a good day!

There are one of two things that I do. I go for a long ride with soft music on. I listen to the music and let it fill every fiber of my body. Or I sit on my recliner, turn my blinds closed, put my ear phones on and put my CD on and lean back and listen to my soft music. I truly believe that music is the door to the soul. I listen to it often and let it drift through me and send me to a place where my mind is relaxing. I also turn my phone off.

Back in my country I would go to the beach and sat there for hours. Now that the nearest beach is five hours from me, I changed it for the park. Taking a good walk surrounded by nature is a blessed experience and helps me revitalize.

Well i just need to go out to some peaceful place and have a couple of smokes..... Or just walk up to the beach (which is a 5 minute walk from house) and sit for sometime.. Another favourite place of mine when i need to be alone is the park.

Yah, holding a little puffy can be quite relaxing for me too. But the park??? Aren't they full of people doing their own little thing..... hmmm maybe sitting on a bench watching all those people passing by can also help us relax..

Well dear It may be shocking for u but its really true when I get depressed or sad and Im running after my dreams and wishes and Im tired, I go to graveyar (cemetry). I sit there where I can not be noticed. I talk to myself that whether all my dremas come true and I have everything or I fail to achieve my goals, I'll come here one day. After doing all this , I feel very relaxed and content.

For me, I will go to the mall and do some window shopping. The heat is too much now, I cannot spend the time by the beach anymore. The mall which always offers the right temperature and so many things to see will be the best option.

I will climb up the terrace in my home and sit there.I feel i need to get some fresh air when iam sad and loneliness is all i like during such situations.i will not speak with anyone for sometime bcoz i think when we are angry we really utter words which can hurt others.so i keep quiet.I will listen to some music with my headphone so that i can get away from sadness.

When Im sad lonely and depressed, I go to the sari-sari store which is close at night but they leave the benches outside. I sit there and smoke a couple of ciggs. There I feel alone and at peace. In that place no one can disturb me and my thoughts. In that little space you can see the trees and the stars at night. There are times when you see people walk the streets rushing about. Good thing is they dont bug you. So you're left alone to think and ponder on your situation. I love that place because its serene. I feel at ease at that place. That's where I sit and think when Im depressed. After that I would feel absolutely better.

i lock the door of my bedroom and stay there. i do that inside my restroom, at the backyard, etc. anywhere may actually do, as long as i am stationed in a corner. i equate corners with helplessness and powerlessness. it is as though a confrontation with it screams: no more hiding, no more deception, no more fake facades, no more lukewarm escapes. whether the "wall-corners" are behind me, in front, or beside, the sight of them and the feel of their nearness closing upon me leave me with no room for an attempt to move (in the literal and figurative sense). and so i stay put. and think. and become human in my most sincere way-- that which i am unable to show in the midst of people, except to myself when alone.

Gosh arrowtooth you really have a way with words. So profound, just like a poet. You express your thoughts deep and with a longing that one felt to be left alone. Yous should do this when you're replying to discussions. Don't use 1 or 2 liners.... rated you a +... thanks for sharing.. keep on posting.

When I'm in that kind of mood I go for a walk back in our farm woods to a place where there's a little waterfall in the brook. I call it my 'God Spot', because I feel closer to God there, and it's soooooo beautiful. I never drive when I'm in that kind of mood because I want to have my full attention on driving and not the pressing problems.

Wow always wish to have a spot like that. The sound of water falling to the rocks, is kind of soothing to the soul. And the rustling of leaves, chirping of birds..... hmm nature at it's best. Wonderful!!!

I feel better after a long drive. I also like to go sit in a park or visit my fathers grave. I feel better after I do this for some reason. Take care Sutan74

I take one of my horses on a trail ride in the mountains. When surrounded by all the beauty of nature you just can't stay down for long.

I always take a walk, no matter how cold or hot it is. That always helps my mood and lets me think stuff over...But sometimes it helps when somebody walks with me, even if i wanted to be alone.
