What do you do to cheer yourself up?

Poor you. There's nothing worse than feeling down in the dumps. Bit late in the day now but: 1. Lie in 2. Make "comfort" breakfast 3. Don't dress before 10.30 4. Long hot bath or shower 5. Girly pampering (I don't do too much of that!) 6. Light lunch. Soup and fruit 7. Afternoon weepy film. Preferably in B&W. Accompanied by favourite Chocolates or snacks snuggled under duvet downstairs for purpose. 8. Watch children's TV. Recapture childhood 9. Light supper 10. Soaps 11. 1 hour on myLot 12. Bed by 10.30 followed by a lovely long sleep Works for me.

haha, lol, ok i am going to attempt this one in theory, sorry but with my illness i am always in a state of depression, and doing things doesn't effect it. However, that being said, being outside, moving around is always good, keeps the oxygen to the brain, and the blood moving which will help to increase mood. Definately doing things that you have an interest in. I know that if i am going downhill, i will go do some photography, and it usually evens the level i am at out. Work on a problem you may be having, remember to think of the solution, not the problem, making progress or fixing an issue or problem you have been having is always a good way to cheer yourself up, makes you feel like you have accomplished something and it is one less thing to worry about.

if i want to cheer my self up i usually daydream thats all...

I don't do classic "cheering myself up" stuff when I'm feeling down, because that just doesn't work for me - comedies fall flat, and cheerful music makes me want to blow my brains out. And no way am I fit for company. So I tend to get the personal stereo out and lie in bed listening to Front 242. Those guys know all about misery, despair and struggle. For some reason that helps me get back into a normal frame of mind again.

Hey munch! That a girl! I do just about everything you did! Especially the eating thing! I'm sorry your still feeling down, unfortunately so am I. Just can't seem to snap out of it. Things just keep happening to make it worse. That's just it. Like I told you, life happens! I'm going to type here for awhile then I will watch General Hospital and do my nails while it's on since I need to sit still and not touch anything. Hopefully you will be feeling better soon. Just keep doing things for yourself that makes you happy. I wish I could give you more tips, but I can't even cheer myself up right now either. Keep smiling!

My husband is very supportive and understanding. Whenever I feel home sick or just thought of something that makes me feel like crying, he's there to comfort me and assuring everything will be alright. He's good at that.

I'd get out of the house, if that is where I'm feeling low. If there is nobody that I can spend the time with, I'd go for a drive, while listening to my favorite music. Nothing like spending time with friends though.

i watch tv and veg or read or do a craft that i have been wanting to do. it just depends. lately i find that i am having no time to feel like that. my life has been crazy busy these days! but sometimes when i am sick i feel this way, so i do the same stuff as you do.

Something else I like to do is puzzles like wordsearches or suduko puzzles. These keep my mind busy and help the time pass. Even though Im 26 I like to do colouring books as well lol.

I like music to lift my mood its the best remedy for me. Good music fills me with energy and enthusiasm. I also recharge myself by visiting parks, gardens or reading some good material online or offline.

When I am not in mood,I will get myself some rewards. I will go shopping to hunt for something which I like to encourage myself to be happy again. Sometimes even a small little gift will do and enough to make me cheer up again. Besides shopping,I will also eat something which I don't normally eat. Maybe I will buy snacks which I never try before and eat them while watching movies. Of course I will try to find some comedies,lol.

when im down i usually get something to drink and listen to music. it relaxes me, and gets my mind off of things. i also sometimes go out with buddies and get drinks with them. but usually i just like to be alone and do my own thing. like you said, girls pamper themselves, i just drink a little and then chill with music.

Good question..I like to look at a good comedy movie, go for a long walk, call a friend on the telephone. If I have any extra money go shopping.

When I am feeling low I got out of the house. I go to the malls and look around. If I see something that makes me feel light, I will get it. Or sometimes I listen to upbeat music because it makes me dance. Then sometimes I talk to somebody, especially to my husband.

I read, sing, dance, watch videos or televison, or I play with my cat to cheer myself up.

I do same as you. I also like to read a book to take my mind of things. I like to watch a film or a funny DVD like Bewitched or Spongebob Squarepants. I like to watch pop videos as well. I also make cards which I sell. I like to chat online and look at pictures and videos of my favourite celebrities.

Good discussion.....yes I try following things ... -)Listen TO my favourite music -)See some good movie -)Meet some kids around . -)IF possible go to temple/Church -)GO and help some very poor chap in anyways -)Pray to GOD -)Surf net -)Chat with friend -)Sit with my dearest relative . LOL I think they make me come out of my low feelings .... Tyr some they will help u surely.... Thanku Ganesh

To cheer my self up,I listen to light music. I have noticed that it work wonders sometimes. It helps me to a great extent to distract me from the topic that is troubling me.

i gift myself to cheer me
