I just received some news that made me feel kinda.. down. Also, with all this "down thing", I just remembered about a girl that I loved, and then I felt kinda lonely and even worse than I was.. I know, kinda silly, but I felt like I should try posting it here.. So, myLot friends, what do you do when you're down (to get better, I mean)? Believe me, your answers will be VERY welcome to me.. =/

cry, and remember to let it be, just let it be, she is not the only girl in the world. Tell yourself that it doesn't matter at all. Why not forget her?

Yeah, I know she's not the only girl in the world, but now it kind of means so much for me, you know..? And, when some problems are put together, they seem bigger, and that's how I'm feeling in the exact moment.. =/ But, thank you very much for your comment!

I usually lie down in bed and contemplate. or.. I'm unwinding by going down town. I keep myself busy because if not, it'll only make the feeling worse. Hope you feel better!

Yeah, I'm trying to keep myself busy here in myLot, 'cause it's kinda late to go out now (00:17 here), 'cause I have to work tomorrow.. And about the "contemplating method", I'll surely try it later, when I get a little more sleepy.. Then I combine'em and maybe get a better sleep. Thank you very much for your comment!

Yeah, being alone is what I try to do usually, but it doesn't worked very well.. I just get more sad, I think.. Today, before sleeping, I'll make some reflections. Home I reach some conclusions.. Thnk you very much for posting!

Mainly, it's not about the girl, you know.. The other problems reminded me about her, and this made me feel lonely. But. What kind of music do you listen when you're down? Thank you very much for your comment!

Yeah, doing something with my friends would be nice.. But you know, it's hard to arrange something during the week, 'cause most of the people work (like me) and study (like me), and then the free times of each other doesn't match.. =/ But thank you very much for answering!

I curl up in a little ball and see if I'll cry and then I try to let it out all at once, depression comes in waves, and I just let it pass. I don't mind it so much, it helps you enjoy the good times a little more.

Well, it's VERY hard for me to cry, you know.. It's VERY rare.. I really would like to be more "emotional" (in this aspect, at least), but I just can't.. But one thing is true: the bad moments makes you enjoy more the good moments. =) Thank you ver much for your comment!

I know there are times where all of us receive news that makes us feel kind of down and out,and usually when I feel down I turn to my fiance and she always manages to make me laugh and feel better,I also try and play video games,because there is nothing like slaughtering enemies to help the spirits rise,and me and my fiance also try to hang out with our friends from time to time when one of us are down,because sometimes if you are down it helps to get out of the house.

Yeah, I think that the "cure" to the sadness is being with who you love. A pity that I couldn't do that yesterday.. About playing videogames, may be a good alternative. I also thought that reading a book or something similar may make me feel better also.. Thanks for your answer!

Hmm.. Going out by myself.. Yeah, this can be interesting.. At least I'll be in a different place, with different people around.. And it always worth trying, I think. =) And it's a very meaningful phrase the one you just quoted.. A pity that, sometimes, our happiness doesn't depends only on us.. =/ Even though, I think that, if we really want to, we can achieve it. =) Thank you for your kind words, cottonm. ^^

Oh, I asked you to come over, and then you came! :D Yeah, I kinda know from my past experiences that staying all alone isn't that nice.. But the problem is when you don't have a friend around when this kind of thing happen, which was what happened yesterday.. Kinda sad, I'd say. =/ Thank you very much for posting! ^^
