What makes you go on when you feel sad?

Get a dog. They will make you feel important. I used to take mine out to the mountains and hike or take her to the lake or park. I used to come home tired but she would keep on me to take her somewhere. She would also make me get up in the mornings to let her out. I guess you might say she was the reason for me getting up every morning. Now she is gone and I am able to sleep in longer but I do miss her.

Hi there! For me, the thing that makes me go on when i am sad is my kid. I can't be sad for long because i don't want my kid to see me sad. I really pick myself up and be happy. Because I don't want to get depressed again. It is really hard to get out of depression so might as well prevent it as early as possible.

Music makes everything happy so i hear the music when i am in sad this makes me happy and do works.hear music and stay away from sadness.

well in my side my family, kids and my honey the reason of my happiness....sometimes i cant avoid feelin sad but what i do i set aside that sad feelin and be positive...

I have two wonderful boys so I can never feel this way.Even at the worst of times I have them there always offering me motivation and positive words.They do not even realize they are doing it,they just love mama.It makes me feel really good.My kids always make me smile and want to work harder to acheive my goals in life.

There are many times when I am really sad and sometimes I do not know why but I just get sad,and when I am sad there are a few things that make me go on,one is my wife because I love her,and she knows how to make me smile,make me laugh,and she will love me no matter what,another thing that makes me go on is video games because they always make me feel better and I like getting new video games,because they come out with awesome video games and I like the achievements on the X-box 360.

when i was in high school,because i hated studying in school,so always i would feel unhappy but i had hardly become happy when i got home.acturally,it was my noom where made me fell peacefull and quitefull.it seems everything will be ok,if i can sleep in my own room.but now i have to go to college,and still don't like talking with others,so i rent a house outside where i got the computer,astronomical telescope etc...it seems being alone will always make me fell happy

My husband and I have many pets and when I am sad I like to spend some time with my pets for instanse my rabbits. I love playing with them and taking care of them, and they always make me smile when I am sad. Music is another thing that often helps me get happy again. I love music and it usually makes me happy to listen to some of my favourite songs. It also makes me happy to discover new bands or singers. I have a notebook with some of my favourite stories, quotes and poems, and when I am sad, it often helps me to read that book.

yes you are right nautilus! music is also the solution for me when i feel very sad. especially the mellow ones. I listen to my favorite j-pop musics and VOCALOID songs. they're like feathers to complete my wings. good day!

Just yesterday I felt really sad for sometime as if nobody loves me and wants me and cares about me. I had a bad telephone conversation at night and thereafter had a disagreement with my mother. She went off to sleep without saying goodnight and I felt very lonely and lost as if no one loved me at all. I slept late at night and woke up early and finally felt good after talking to my mother and making up with her. I also disscussed my telephone conversation with her and we arrived at one opinion that I should avoid talking to this person. Now I am feeling ok.
